본 연구에서는 저온 열교환기 효율 향상을 위하여 상온($25^{circ}C$)과 저온($10^{circ}C$)에서 탄소나노유체와 산화탄소나 노유체의 열전도도와 점도를 측정하였다. 탄소나노유체는 다중벽 탄소나노튜브에 계면활성제 SDS 100 wt%, 고분자 화합물 PVP 300 wt%를 각각 혼합한 뒤 증류수에 초음파 분산하여 제조하였고, 산화탄소나노유체는 산화 처리된 다중벽 탄소나노튜브를 증류수에 초음파 분산하여 제조하였다. 탄소나노유체의 열전도도는 비정상 열선법을 사용하여 측정하였으며, 점도는 회전형 디지털 점도계를 사용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과 같은 혼합비율과 온도에서 다른 탄소나노유체들 보다 산화탄소나노유체의 열전도도가 가장 높게 측정되었고, 점도는 가장 낮게 측정되었다.
In this study, for efficiency enhancement of low temperature heat exchanger, the thermal conductivity and the viscosity of carbon nanofluids and oxidized carbon nanofluids were measured at $10^{circ}C$ and $25^{circ}C$, respectively. Carbon nanofluids were made by ultrasonic-dispersing ones in distilled water after Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) mixed Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS, 100 wt%), Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP, 300 wt%) each. Oxidized carbon nanofluids were made by ultrasonic-dispersing Oxidized Carbon Nanotubes (OMWCNTs) in distilled water. The thermal conductivity of carbon nanofluids was measured by using a transient hot-wire method. The viscosity was measured by using a digital viscometer. As a result, the thermal conductivity of oxidized carbon nanofluids was the highest of those compared and the other carbon nanofluids at the same mixture ratio and temperature, and the viscosity was measured the lowest of those compared and the other carbon nanofluids.
