Abstract:
Is it possible to improve refrigerant/lubricant boiling
with nanoparticles? If so, what size of particles should
be used? What's the particle material and in what
concentration should they be applied to obtain the best
improvement in performance? These are some of the
questions that are currently driving the refrigerant
boiling with nanolubricant research at NIST. The
presentation will share what has been learned, including
very recent results at NIST in this ongoing
investigation.
