Abstract: | Nanofluids are prepared by suspending the nanoparticles in the base fluid and can be substantially enhanced the heat transfer rate compared to the pure fluids. In this paper, experimental investigation of the effects of volume concentration and temperature on dynamic viscosity of the hybrid nanofluid of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and aluminum oxide in a mixture of water (80%) and ethylene-glycol (20%) has been presented. The nanofluid was prepared with solid volume fractions between 0.0625 and 1%, and experiments were performed in the temperature range of 25–50 °C. The measurement results at different shear rates showed that the base fluid and nanofluid samples with solid volume fractions of less than 0.5% had Newtonian behavior, while those with higher solid volume fractions (0.75 and 1%) exhibit a pseudoplastic rheological behavior with a power law index of less than unity. The results showed that viscosity has a direct relationship with solid volume fraction of the nanofluid. The value of maximum enhancement is which occurred in 25 °C. Moreover, the consistency index and power law index have been obtained by accurate curve fitting for samples with non-Newtonian behavior of nanofluids. The results also revealed that the apparent viscosity generally increases with an increase in the solid volume fraction. |
