GO/Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2 magnetic nanofluids: preparation, stability and heat transfer enhancement under magnetic field dual modulation
摘要
As the power density of electronic devices continues to increase, traditional coolants (e.g., water and ethylene glycol) are unable to meet the demand for efficient heat dissipation. This study prepared graphene oxide (GO)/aminated iron (III) oxide (Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2) nanofluids (NFs, abbreviated as GF NFs) with different mass fractions, and systematically investigated their stability, thermophysical properties, and heat transfer enhancement (HTE) mechanism under magnetic field modulation. Experimental results show the following: The viscosity of NFs increases with rising particle concentration and decreases with increasing temperature; Conductivity increases with increasing concentration and temperature. For heat transfer performance, the convective heat transfer coefficient (h) of the NFs increased significantly with flow rate. Adding 0.05 mass% GF to the base fluid, the maximum HTE of GF NFs reached 120%. reducing the device temperature by 2.2 °C. Under a 1460 G magnetic field, the 0.1mass% GF NF reduced the device temperature by 2.6 °C compared to the base fluid. Combined with numerical simulations, this study reveals that the Brownian motion of nanoparticles (NPs) and magnetically induced micro-convection synergistically disrupt the thermal boundary layer, thereby enhancing the heat transfer performance of NFs. This study provides novel functionalized NF materials and regulation strategies for the intelligent thermal management of high-power electronic devices.
