Study of thermal conductivity enhancement of aqueous suspensions containing silver nanoparticles

Nanofluids are prepared by dispersing polyvinylpyrrolidone coated silver nanoparticles in distilled water. The thermal conductivity of nanofluids is measured by KD2 Pro thermal analyzer which is based on transient hot wire method. The influence of size and concentration of nanoparticles, surfactant...
