Experimental investigation of thermal performance of the graphene oxide–coated plates

Abstract

AbstractThis paper experimentally investigates the conductive heat transfer of samples with different materials and coatings. A range of graphene oxide nanoparticle concentration has been employed. Results demonstrate that utilizing nanoparticles leads to enhancement of conductive heat transfer by 10.07% and 8.01% for EK2 and ST14 samples, respectively. The aforementioned nanoparticles also reduce coating thickness and yield an enhanced quality of the surface, in terms of mechanical properties. The convective and radiative methods of heat transfer have been ignored in this study.
