Crystal layer growth with embedded carbon-based particles from effervescent tablet-based nanofluids.

ABSTRACT: Crystallization occurs as dissolved substances gradually solidify into crystal layers within a liquid, which can increase the capability of fluids to transfer heat. In this study, the growth of crystal layer in nanofluids produced from carbon-based effervescent tablets was examined. The tablets were fabricated by combining multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sodium phosphate monobasic (NaH₂PO₄), and sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃). The effervescent tablets were formulated with MWCNTs, NaH₂PO₄, and Na₂CO₃ at a weight ratio of 1:5.1:2.26, respectively. These tablets were then immersed in distilled water (DW) and seawater (SW) to produce 0.05 vol.% to 0.15 vol.% MWCNT suspension
