摘要：

利用纳米颗粒可显著强化高温熔融盐的储热和热输运性能，但在实际应用中，面临纳米颗粒团聚导致的强化作用衰减。采用两步法配制了质量分数为1%的SiO2-Solar Salt纳米流体，并设置长时间高温保温工况，以比热容衰减幅度和样品微观结构为评价标准，探究两步法制备样品的稳定性。实验结果表明，两步法所制备样品的比热容提升幅度较为明显，但其稳定性较差，经长期高温保温工况后，比热容提升幅度衰减较为明显，且微观形貌显示其中SiO2纳米颗粒含量大幅减少。为探究改善高温熔盐基纳米流体稳定性的方法，本工作从纳米流体制备方法和纳米颗粒选材角度入手进行研究。选取高温熔融法制备相同样品，实验结果表明，其比热容提升幅度与两步法所制备样品相差不大，但经长期高温保温工况后，比热容提升幅度的衰减小于两步法所制备样品，SiO2纳米颗粒含量也有所提升，稳定性得以初步改善。在采用高温熔融法的基础上进一步研究，添加少量Al2O3、TiO2或CuO，与SiO2形成混合纳米颗粒以制备纳米颗粒总量1%的样品，实验结果表明Al2O3-SiO2混合纳米流体经过100 h高温保温工况后，比热容提升幅度的衰减率已缩小至6.1%，稳定性得到进一步的提升，而TiO2-SiO2、CuO-SiO2混合纳米流体样品经过高温保温工况已完全失去比热容提升能力，稳定性恶化。研究结果对提高熔盐基纳米流体稳定性、增强其实用性具有重大意义。

Abstract:

The performance of a molten salt-based nanofluid can be significantly enhanced, but its thermal stability caused by the nanoparticle cluster remains a main defect for practical application. This study prepared a solar salt-based SiO2 nanofluid with 1% mass fraction via a two-step method. To study the stability of the molten salt-based nanofluid, a long-term high-temperature (LTHT) condition is set, and the reduction of the specific heat capacity (SHC) enhancement and micro-morphology is adopted to make a comprehensive stability assessment. The experimental results show an SHC enhancement; however, the SHC is significantly decreased, and the SiO2 nanoparticle amount in the samples is reduced after the LTHT condition. In other words, the sample prepared by the two-step method is a poor-stability nanofluid. The investigation on the method improving the stability of the molten salt-based nanofluid is based on the preparation methods and the nanoparticle material selection. The high-temperature melting method is used to prepare the same nanofluid. The results show that the SHC enhancement is similar to that of the sample prepared by the two-step method; however, the SHC enhancement after the LTHT condition is slightly reduced with the nanoparticle amount increase. This result implies that the stability of the molten salt-based nanofluid can be improved to some extent using the high-temperature melting method. Hybrid nanofluids with total mass fraction of 1% (i.e., Al2O3-SiO2, TiO2-SiO2, and CuO-SiO2 nanofluids) are also investigated herein based on the high-temperature melting method. The results show that the attenuation rate of the SHC enhancement reduces to 6.1% after 100 h under the LTHT condition for the Al2O3-SiO2 hybrid nanofluid, indicating that the stability is further improved. On the contrary, the stability of the TiO2-SiO2 and CuO-SiO2 hybrid nanofluids is worse because no SHC enhancement occurs after the LTHT condition. The results are greatly significant for improving the stability of the molten salt-based nanofluid and enhancing its practicality.
