... Abstract This work provides a molecular dynamics simulation of the thermal conductivity and viscosity of thin water film. The results show that the average normal thermal conductivity and viscosity of thin water film is about an order of magnitude lower than those of bulk water...

... scattering force for particle control technique in a microfluidic system with light-absorbing liquid. Light-absorption of liquid induces the change of liquid properties mainly in the viscosity, which means the decrease of viscous drag for suspended particles. In the experimental system, the light source...

... 18 10 2010 The aim of this study is to understand the temperature and viscosity effects on the thermal conductivity of ferro-nanofluid. The base-fluid of ferro-nanofluid is made of polydimethyl-siloxane (PDMS) and diesel fuel which have similar thermal property but different viscosity...

... with the surface charge density. The fluid viscosity keeps at around 1.78 cp when the thickness of the film more than 1.5 nm, the −0.30 C/m 2 surface charge density and the 5×10 10 S −1 shear rate, which is quite close to the bulk value. The fluid viscosity keeps at around 1.69 cp when the surface charge...

... and viscosities were evaluated by KD2-pro thermal property meter and rotational viscometer respectively at different temperature. Thermal conductivities measurements show that the thermal conductivities of Al 2 O 3 -water nanofluids are higher than water. The thermal conductivities with average particle size...

... 23 06 2009 Investigations on temperature dependence of surface tension, interfacial tension and viscosity a nanofluid are reported in this paper. Experimental results show that nanofluid having TiO 2 nanoparticles (15 nm) in deionized water exhibit substantially smaller surface...

... 23 06 2009 In this work, extensive equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are conducted to study the shear viscosity of nanocolloidal dispersion. Strong oscillation of the pressure tensor autocorrelation function is observed. The computational domain contains solvent of liquid...
