Abstract
This paper presents results of an experimental study of the density, saturated vapor pressure, surface tension and viscosity of Al\(_2\)O\(_3\) nanoparticle colloidal solutions in isopropyl alcohol. Studies of the thermophysical properties of nanofluids were performed at various temperatures and concentrations of Al\(_2\)O\(_3\) nanoparticles. The paper gives considerable attention to a turbidimetric analysis of the stability of nanofluid samples. Samples of nanofluids remained stable over the range of parameters of the experiments, ensuring the reliability of the thermophysical property data for the Al\(_2\)O\(_3\) nanoparticle colloidal solutions in isopropyl alcohol. The studies show that the addition of Al\(_2\)O\(_3\) nanoparticles leads to an increase of the density, saturated vapor pressure and viscosity, as well as a decrease for the surface tension of isopropyl alcohol. The information reported in this paper on the various thermophysical properties for the isopropyl alcohol/Al\(_2\)O\(_3\) nanoparticle model system is useful for the development of thermodynamically consistent models for predicting properties of nanofluids and correct modeling of the heat exchange processes.
