  • The calculation of thermal conductivity for nanofluids on the basis of statistical nano-mechanics
    Avsec, Jurij ; Oblak, Maks
    The paper features the mathematical model of calculation of thermal conductivity for nanofluids on the basis of statistical nano-mechanics. The calculation of transport properties for nanofluids for ... real substances is possible by the classical and statistical mechanics. Classical mechanics has no insight into the microstructure of the substance. Statistical mechanics, onthe other hand, calculates the properties of states on the basis of molecular motion in a space, and on the basis of intermolecular interactions. The equatons obtained by means of classical thermomechanics are empirical an apply only in the region under observation. The main drawback of classical thermomechanics is that it lacks the insight into the substance of microstructure. Unlike classical mechanics, statistical mechanics calculates the thermomechanic properties of state on the basis of intermolecular and intramolecular interations between particles in the same system of molecules. It deals with the systems composed of a very large number of particles. The results of analysis are compared with experimental data and show a relatively good agreement. The analytical results obtained by statistical mechanics are compared with the experimental data and show a relatively good agreement.
