Abstract

Nanofluids as new groups of the heat transfer environments with unique and special properties have attracted particular attention in recent decades. Knowing the characteristics of the nanofluid is the first step in the nanofluid study, which is very important in describing its behavior. Although many attempts have been made to modeling the thermodynamic properties of nanofluids, a comprehensive model for predicting these properties has not yet been provided. In this work has been studied the dynamic viscosity of water-single wall carbon nanotube nanofluid and the effect of volume fraction and size of nanoparticles and nanofluid temperature on it in ranging from 〖25〗^°C to 〖65〗^°C with an interval of 10 °C and 0.125% to 0.734% (0.125%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.734%) respectively. After the full explanation of the interaction between base fluid and nanoparticle atoms and analyzing the shear stress autocorrelation function, the results show that the presence of nanoparticles in the base fluid and the addition of its, reducing the temperature, as well as reducing the size and diameter of the carbon nanotubes, increase the dynamic viscosity of nanofluids. Finally, the interpretation and conclusion of the results is discussed.
