The nanofluids were composed of ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3- methylimidazolium diethylphosphate [EMIM][DEP], or its aqueous solution[EMIM][DEP]（1） ＋ H20（2） and MWCNTs without any surfactants. The thermal conductivity, viscosity and density of the nanofluids were mea- sured experimentally. The effects of the mass fraction of MWCNTs, temperature and the mole fraction of water on the thermo physical properties of nanofluids were studied. Results show that the thermal conductivity of nanofluids increases within the range of 1.3%-9.7% compared to their base liquids, and have a well linear depen- dence on temperature. The viscosity and density of the nanofluids exhibit a remarkable increase compared with those of the base liquids. Finally, the correlation of the effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of the nanofluids was made using the models in the literatures.展开更多

In the first place, the thermal properties of carbon dioxide near its liquid-vapor critical point are discussed. It is calcu- lated that the heat capacity ratio and isobaric expansion coefficient of supercritical fluids are extremely high. Furthermore, the simulation for piston effect in supereritical carbon dioxide between two infinite vertical walls is presented. The numerical results prove that piston effect has a much faster speed of heat transfer than thermal conduction under mierogravity conditions. Moreover, the piston effect turns out to be stronger when closer to the critical point.展开更多
