Abstract:
Silver-water nanofluid, used as the working fluid in this study, was prepared in one step employing ultrasound-assisted membrane reaction. The heat transfer of submerged jet impacting pin-fin heat sinks was investigated experimentally with silver nanofluid of different concentrations. The results indicate that the silver nanoparticles prepared are uniformly distributed in base fluid and with an average grain size of 4.8 nm. The surfactant used in this study has great influence on the viscosity of nanofluids. Compared with the base fluid (water and surfactant), the heat transfer coefficient of nanofluids is increased by 6.23%, 9.24% and 17.53%, respectively, with the silver nanoparticle mass fraction of 0.02%, 0.08% and 0.12%, under the same jet velocity. Compared with water, the heat transfer coefficient is enhanced by 6.61% with the silver nanoparticle of 0.12%.
