Thermal Conductivity Enhancement of Brine Containing Charcoal Particles

Abstract

Experiments to measure the thermal conductivity of brine containing coconut shell charcoal particles have been performed at different volumetric concentrations and temperatures. SEM was used to observe the morphology of particles. The thermal conductivity increased with increasing the temperature. In addition, the thermal conductivity of brine containing coconut shell charcoal particles was higher than that of brine containing activated carbon particles
