The Role of Particle Interaction in the Cluster Model of Heat Conductivity of Nanofluids

Аннотация

Analytical dependences of the effective heat conductivity coefficient of an individual cluster and cluster nanofluid are obtained on the basis of classical equations of continuum mechanics with allowance for the interaction of temperature fields of spherical particles inside a cluster. The calculated dependences of the heat-conductivity coefficient of the cluster nanofluid agree with the corresponding experimental data.
