Thermal conductivity of carbon nanotube nanofluid—experimental and theoretical study

In this work, thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes' (CNTs) nanofluid is studied both experimentally and theoretically. CNT nanofluids were stabilized using gum arabic (GA). The concentration of CNTs was varied from 0.01–0.1 wt% while the concentration of GA was varied from 1–2.5 wt%, respec...
