The First Step into Material Table Dataset for Surface Tension of Nanofluids: Insights from the Case Study of Ethylene Glycol-Based Graphene Nanofluids
摘要
This study investigates the density and surface tension properties of graphene flake-ethylene glycol (GF-EG) nanofluids. The experimental results demonstrate that the density of GF-EG nanofluids increases with nanoparticle mass fractions while exhibiting a linear decrease with temperature. Surface tension measurements reveal a consistent reduction compared to pure ethylene glycol, aligning with a previously established model that attributes this behavior to nanoparticle saturation at the fluid surface. Notably, the averaged surface tension values for GF-EG nanofluids at 298.15 K were determined to be 47.906 mN
