Thermo-hydraulic performance of mesoporous silica with Cu nanoparticles in helically grooved tube

High-performance heat transfer fluids significantly affect the efficiency and overall performance of high heat flux systems. A novel nanocomposite containing mesoporous silica with high dispersity decorated with copper nanoparticles with a high thermal conductivity was synthesized. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray...
