Experimental Thermal Conductivity and Viscosity of SiO2 Nano-Fluids with EG-Water Blends

Experimental results for thermal conductivity and viscosity of SiO2 nanofluids prepared with two different base-fluid blends. The dataset includes measurements for 60:40 and 40:60 volume ratios of ethylene glycol and water, showing enhancements up to 34% in thermal conductivity and 102% in viscosity. The data was used to develop new correlations via regression analysis by a researcher from Universiti Teknologi Petronas.

Use Cases

• Modeling thermal conductivity of nanofluids based on base-fluid composition.
• Predicting viscosity changes in SiO2 nanofluids for different mixture ratios.
• Developing new property correlations for heat transfer fluid design.
• Comparing the heat transfer performance of different nanofluid formulations.

Strengths

• Reports specific experimental enhancements: 34% and 32% in thermal conductivity, 102% and 62% in viscosity.
• Compares two distinct base-fluid mixture ratios (60:40 and 40:60 EG-Water).
• Includes regression analysis leading to formulated correlations for thermal properties.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
