Oil-based nanofluids including 0.75%-1.75% (mass fraction) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) without any surfactants have been synthesized by a two-step process.The probes machined from 45# steel with 22 mm diameter and 50 mm length are quenched in the as-synthesized CNT nanofluids for testing the cooling behaviors of the nanofluids.The laser diffraction particle size analyzer,scanning electronic microscope (SEM),X-ray diffractometer and transmission electron microscope (TEM) are used to characterize the quality and distribution of CNTs in the nanofiuids.The wettability and viscosity of 30# oil and oil-based CNT nanofluids are measured by a goniometer at 15 ℃ and a rotational type viscometer at 40 ℃,respectively.The results show that the cooling efficiency of the oil-based CNT nanofluids is better than that of 30# oil.Moreover,the cooling rate of the naonoflnids increases with the further increase of the CNT concentration.When the mass fraction of CNTs increases to 1.75%,the cooling rate of the naonofluids reaches a maximum at 760 ℃ and it is increased by 77.8% as compared to that of base oil.The improved cooling rate of oil by CNTs is mainly due to the uniform distribution and excellent thermal conductivity of CNTs.
