Study of capillary flow of nanofluids

The capillary flow of nanofluids into a horizontal capillary from a pendant droplet was investigated. Different fluid concentrations of titanium dioxide in a base fluid of glycerol - DI water with 4:1 ratio were used as the experimental fluids. The concentrations of titanium dioxide used were 1%, 0....
