| In the present work, ethylene-glycol (EG) based nanofluids containing TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared by one-step pulsed wire evaporation (PWE) method. The structural properties of TiO2 nanoparticles were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) method and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The thermal conductivity of EG-TiO2 nanofluid increased with TiO2 volume fraction, and the experimentally measured value of thermal conductivity coincided well with Hamilton-Crosser model. |
