X-Ray Differaction and FESEM Analysis for Mixture of Hybrid Nanoparticles in Heat Transfer Applications

Abstract

Heat transfer development has encouraged researcher in recent decades to develop concepts and technologies promoted by manufactures of ultra compact, miniaturized the heat transfer application. In thermal engineering lots of particle are being used for heat transfer application astonishing potential of hybrid nanoparticles. Amalgamation of hybrid nanoparticles has increasing interest in heat transfer enhancement. In this research mixture of hybrid nanoparticle was prepared using Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) and Copper (Cu) in different proportion in order to increase thermal conductivity. Two tests of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) analysis were carried out. The heat transfer development was found in the hybrid nanoparticles mixed with water and tested in shell and tube heat exchanger and found that the enhancement is more with nanofluid when compared to water alone. Hybrid nanoparticles form immediate precipitate when it was used in any mechanical applications and it characterised by an improvement of base particles like nanoparticles of metals, metal oxides and carbides.
