Abstract
The effect of viscosity on heat transfer behaviour is analyzed for binary mixtures (ionic liquid + water and nanofluid + water) over the base fluid (water). Viscosities of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide with water under ambient pressure are studied at different concentrations (0.1–0.6% w/w) and temperatures (296–336 K). Viscosities of nanofluid (γ-Al2O3/water) are estimated at the same concentration and temperature range and then compared with the ionic liquid solution. Viscosity of aqueous 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide solution increases with concentration and decreases with temperature. A similar trend is observed for γ-Al2O3/water. In addition, a model is developed with response surface methodology and artificial neural network to predict the viscosity of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide with water. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
