The rheological behavior of two-dimensional (2D) MoS-based ethylene glycol (EG) nanofluids (NFs) was investigated at low volume concentrations (0.005%, 0.0075%, and 0.01%) in a wide temperature range of 0-70 °C and at atmospheric pressure. A conventional two-step method was followed to prepare NFs at desired volume concentrations. Based on the control rotational (0.1-1000 s shear rate) and oscillation (0.01-1000% strain) methods, the viscoelastic flow curves and thixotropic (3ITT (three interval thixotropic) and hysteresis loop) characteristics of NFs were examined. Shear flow behavior revealed a remarkable reduction (1.3~14.7%) in apparent dynamic viscosity, which showed concentration and temperature dependency. Such remarkable viscosity results were assigned to the change in activation energy of the ethylene glycol with the addition of MoS. However, the nanofluids exhibited Newtonian behavior at all temperatures for concentrations below 0.01% between 10 and 1000 s. On the other hand, strain sweep (@1Hz) indicated the viscoelastic nature of NFs with yielding, which varied with concentration and temperature. Besides, 3ITT and hysteresis loop analysis was evident of non-thixotropic behavior of NFs. Among all tested concentrations, 0.005% outperformed at almost all targeted temperatures. At the same time, ~11% improvement in thermal conductivity can be considered advantageous on top of the improved rheological properties. In addition, viscosity enhancement and reduction mechanisms were also discussed.
研究了二维(2D)MoS基乙二醇(EG)纳米流体(NFs)在0.005%、0.0075%和0.01%的低体积浓度下,在0至70°C的宽温度范围内及大气压下的流变行为。采用传统的两步法制备所需体积浓度的纳米流体。基于控制旋转(0.1 - 1000 s剪切速率)和振荡(0.01 - 1000%应变)方法,研究了纳米流体的粘弹性流动曲线和触变性(3ITT(三区间触变性)和滞后回线)特性。剪切流动行为表明表观动态粘度显著降低(1.3%~14.7%),这表现出浓度和温度依赖性。这种显著的粘度结果归因于添加MoS后乙二醇活化能的变化。然而,对于浓度低于0.01%且在10至1000 s之间的情况,纳米流体在所有温度下均表现出牛顿流体行为。另一方面,应变扫描(@1Hz)表明纳米流体具有屈服的粘弹性性质,其随浓度和温度而变化。此外,3ITT和滞后回线分析表明纳米流体具有非触变性行为。在所有测试浓度中,0.005%在几乎所有目标温度下表现最佳。同时,在改善流变性能的基础上,热导率提高约11%可被视为有利。此外,还讨论了粘度增强和降低的机制。
