TL;DR: In this paper, a modified two-component four-equation nonhomogeneous equilibrium model was employed for nanofluids, which fully accounted for the effect of the nanoparticle volume fraction distribution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental characterization of the micro-drilling process with the nanofluid minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is discussed, and the results show that the nano-diamond particles having the diameter of 30nm are used with the base fluids of paraffin and vegetable oils.
Abstract: This paper discusses the experimental characterization of the micro-drilling process with the nanofluid minimum quantity lubrication (MQL). The miniaturized drilling machine tool system is developed, and then a series of micro-drilling experiments are conducted in the cases of compressed air lubrication, pure MQL and nanofluid MQL. For the nanofluid MQL, nano-diamond particles having the diameter of 30 nm are used with the base fluids of paraffin and vegetable oils. For the micro-drilling process, an uncoated carbide twist drill having the diameter of 200 μm is used for making holes in the aluminum 6061 workpiece. The experimental results show that the nanofluid MQL significantly increases the number of drilled holes and reduces the drilling torques and thrust forces. In addition, the nanofluid MQL effectively eliminates remaining chips and burrs to enhance the quality of drilled holes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a minichannel heat sink with a 20 × 20 cm bottom is analyzed for SiC-water and TiO2-water turbulent flow as coolants through hydraulic diameters.
Abstract: Nanofluids are the suspension of ultrafine solid nanoparticles in a base fluid. Nanofluids are expected to be a promising coolant candidate for thermal management system of next generation high heat dissipation electronic systems. Nanofluids are used with different volume fractions. A minichannel heat sink with a 20 × 20 cm bottom is analyzed for SiC-water nanofluid and TiO2-water nanofluid turbulent flow as coolants through hydraulic diameters. The results showed that enhancement in thermal conductivity by dispersed SiC in water at 4% volume fraction was 12.44% and by dispersed TiO2 in water was 9.99% for the same volume fraction. It was found that by using SiC-water nanofluid as a coolant instead of water, an improvement of approximately 7.25%–12.43% could be achieved and by using TiO2-water 7.63%–12.77%. The maximum pumping power by using SiC-water nanofluid at 2 m/s and 4% vol. was 0.28 W and at 6 m/s and 4% volume equal to 5.39 W. By using TiO2-water nanofluid at 2 m/s and 4% vol. it was found to be 0.29 W and 5.64 W at 6 m/s with the same volume of 4%.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of particle materials, loading rate, and type of base fuel on suspension quality and combustion behavior were determined, and the results for dense nanosuspensions showed that most particles were burned as a large agglomerate at a later stage when all liquid fuel had been consumed.
