Abstract
Solid-liquid interfacial thermal resistance is thermal resistance defined for temperature jump at the interface between solid and liquid which have different temperatures. Solid-liquid interfacial thermal resistance is a microscopic phenomenon that of elucidation of the heat transfer mechanism is needed. Therefore, in the precedent study, in the case of a nanoparticle layer accumulated on to a heat transfer interface, effects of thermal conductivity of the nanoparticle layer, its thickness, and wettability on solid-liquid interfacial thermal resistance has been investigated by the molecular dynamics analysis. However, about this study, the quantitative evaluation by experiments is not performed yet. Therefore, our goal is to experimentally evaluate thermal resistance using a nanoparticle layer and compare the result with the simulation. In this study, we experimentally and quantitatively investigated the thermal resistance of an interface between a molten salt nanofluid and stainless-steel heat transfer surface, where zirconia nanoparticles accumulated having an enough temperature gradient.
