Abstract
In this paper, the nanofluid dynamic viscosity composed of CeO2- Ethylene Glycol is examined within 25-50â¯Â°C with 5â¯Â°C intervals and at six volume fractions (0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2%) experimentally. The nanofluid was exposed to ultrasound waves for various durations to study the effect of this parameter on dynamic viscosity of the fluid. We found that at a constant temperature, nanofluid viscosity increases with increases in the volume fraction of the nanoparticles. Also, at a given volume fraction, nanofluid viscosity decreases when temperature is increased. Maximum increase in nanofluid viscosity compared to the base fluid viscosity occurs at 25â¯Â°C and volume fraction of 1.2%. It can be inferred that the obtained mathematical relationship is a suitable predicting model for estimating dynamic viscosity of CeO2- Ethylene Glycol (EG) at different volume fractions and temperatures and its results are consistent to laboratory results in the set volume fraction and temperature ranges.
