Description
Nanofluids, characterized by the dispersion of nanoparticles in conventional heat transfer
fluids, have gained significant attention in recent years for their potential to enhance thermal
conductivity in various applications. Boron carbide stands out among these nanofluids due to
its exceptional thermal stability and mechanical properties. This study explores a novel
approach for the synthesis of Born carbide nanofluids with enhanced thermal conductivity
properties using laser ablation.
The experimental setup involves a high-energy laser that ablates a solid boron carbide target
submerged in a suitable base fluid. The ablation process will generate boron carbide
nanoparticles with controlled size and dispersion. We investigate the influence of laser
parameters such as energy density, pulse duration, and repetition rate on the characteristics of
the synthesized boron carbide nanoparticles.
Characterization techniques including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray
diffraction (XRD), and thermal conductivity measurements will be employed to assess the
quality, structure, and thermal properties of the boron carbide nanofluids.
This research will not only contribute to the understanding of nanofluid synthesis using laser
ablation but also opens new avenues for harnessing the exceptional properties of boron
carbide in enhancing thermal conductivity, with various engineering applications, thereby
addressing critical challenges in heat transfer and energy efficiency.
