The problemThe problem
• Liquids are used as heat carriers in:
Solar hot water panelsDiesel engine
The problemThe problem
• Fourier’s law: • How to combine:
- flow properties of liquids & - high thermal conductivity of solid metals.
• Using a new class of nanocomposites: liquid/solid?

• Cu2O nanoparticles:- Two extreme diameters were used:
synthesized by reverse micelles at CRMD/Orléans (see poster for more
details)
purchased from Sigma-Aldrich

• Objectives: Test the influence of Cu2O NP on Glycerol’s transport properties, as a function of:
- NP size- NP concentration
Glycerol (biocompatible and anti-freezing liquid)
+Cu2O nanoparticles in stable suspension

Rheological propertiesRheological properties
• Summary:- The addition of NP slightly increases the viscosity,- NP size has little influence,- The studied nanofluids tested exhibit the same
general Arrhenius law as glycerol,- Viscosity increases with the NP volume fraction ϕ.

• Summary:
– Linear variation of the effective thermal conductivity of nanofluids with temperature,
– Significant enhancement of the thermal conductivity with volume fraction and with NP size.
Conclusion & Perspectives• The influence of increasing temperature on NP
Brownian motion is:– Decreasing the viscosity of glycerol and consequently that
of the nanofluid– Increasing the micro-convective contribution of the NP and
consequently the thermal conductivity increases• Influence of NP shape, size and interfacial layer on
transport coefficients has to be taken into account.• Investigation of electrical properties of nanofluids as a
function of NP.• Development of a microscopic model to better
describe transport phenomena in nanofluids.
