Thermo-Optical Characterization of Therminol55 Based MXene-Al₂O₃ Hybridized Nanofluid and New Correlations for Thermal Properties.

ABSTRACT: The current research focuses on formulating a new class of Therminol55-based nanofluids that incorporates an MXene/Al₂O₃ nanocomposite as the new class of dispersant at three different concentrations of 0.05, 0.10, and 0.20 wt%. The optical and thermophysical properties of the formulated nanofluid are assessed experimentally. Zeta potential and FTIR analyses are employed to evaluate the composite particles' surface charge and chemical stability, respectively. Thermal conductivity is observed to increase with nanoparticle loading and maximally augmented by 61.8% for 0.20 wt%, whereas dynamic viscosity increased with adding nanoparticles but remarkably dropped with increasing temperature. In addition, the prepared TH55/MXene + Al₂O₃ samples are the
