Aqueous nanofluids composed of alumina nanoparticles with different sizes at a concentration from 0.1vol% to 0.5vol% were prepared by a two-step method. The suspension and dispersion characteristics were experimentally examined by zeta potential, average size and absorption spectrum. The thermophysical properties such as the viscosity, surface tension, thermal conductivity, saturation vapor pressure and latent heat of vaporization were measured. The influences of the particle size, particle volume concentration and temperature on the thermophysical property were investigated. It was found that the viscosity and thermal conductivity increased with decreasing nanoparticle size. In contrast, the surface tension, saturation vapor pressure and latent heat of vaporization decrease with decreasing nanoparticle size. The viscosity, thermal conductivity and saturation vapor pressure have an increasing tendency with increasing volume concentration. However, surface tension and latent heat of vaporization showed a reverse tendency. Furthermore, the temperature also showed had obvious influence on the nanofluids viscosity, thermal conductivity and surface tension.



The vapour pressure of potassium chloride as calculated from spectroscopic and specific heat data agrees well with experiment if the latent heat of vaporization a t 0°K is taken to be 55250 cal mole -1 . The rate of evaporation is of the same order as that deduced by the theory of Polanyi & Wigner. Evaporation is analyzed in terms of a two-stage mechanism with a mobile surface layer as intermediate between the solid and vapour phases.

A psychrometer table for use in atmospheres humidified with heavy water has been constructed by calculation from data on the vapor pressure and latent heat of vaporization of heavy water, between 10° and 40 °C. The relative humidity is quite markedly lower in the low temperature end of this range when heavy water is used instead of ordinary water, for the same wet and dry bulb readings.
