Impact of Silica Nanofluid Deposition on Thermosyphon Performance

Thermosyphons are among the most efficient passive heat transfer devices known nowadays. Due to heat and mass transfer limitations of working fluids, much effort is invested in developing a new generation of enhanced fluids, such as nanofluids. Previous studies reported improved thermal capacity when water was replaced by nanofluid. The interplay between nanoparticles and the evaporator surface is crucial here. However, the details of the...
