Abstract
This paper study the thermal properties of ZnO quantum dots (QDs) synthesized by sol-gel method. The structural and morphological properties were investigated using x-ray diffraction technique (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Thermal properties of ZnO QDs were measured using dual beam mode matched thermal lens technique. The results reveal that the thermal diffusivity of the nanofluid depends on the concentration of ZnO QDs. There is an optimum concentration of ZnO QDs, above which thermal diffusivity increases more than that of the base fluid whereas thermal diffusivity decreases below the optimum concentration. This variation in thermal diffusivity of ZnO QDs nanofluid is explained using absorption and emission spectra.
