• Synthesis of Pd/Ag bimetallic NPs using ultrasound-assisted reduction method.
• 31.58% increase in viscosity of EG by adding 5% Pd/Ag NPs at 20 °C.
• 3841% increase in electrical conductivity of DW by suspending 1% Pd/Ag NPs at 25 °C.
Polyvinylpyrrolidone stabilized Pd/Ag bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) with average particle sizes of 9 and 6 nm were synthesized by simultaneous reduction in the presence and absence of ultrasound waves, respectively. The prepared NPs were characterized by six methods including X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution-TEM (HRTEM), UV–vis spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The rheological properties of Pd/Ag NPs in ethylene glycol as a base fluid with various mass fractions of NPs from 2% to 5% at different temperatures were studied experimentally and theoretically. The experimental results showed that viscosity of Pd/Ag NPs in ethylene glycol increases with increasing particle mass fraction and decreases with increasing temperature. A maximum of 31.58% increase in viscosity of ethylene glycol at 20 °C was observed when 5% Pd/Ag NPs was added. Measurement of the electrical conductivity of nanofluids of Pd/Ag bimetallic NPs in distilled water at different mass fractions and temperatures was performed. A 3841% increase in electrical conductivity of distilled water at 25 °C was observed when 1% Pd/Ag NPs was added. Both the rheological and electrical properties of Pd/Ag bimetallic NPs were measured in ethylene glycol and distilled water, respectively for the first time.
