Effect of nanoparticle deposition on rewetting temperature and quench velocity in experiments with stainless steel rodlets and nanofluids

Quenching of small stainless steel rods in pure water and nanofluids with alumina and diamond nanoparticles at low concentrations (0.1 vol%) was investigated experimentally. The rods were heated to an initial temperature of ~1000 °C and then plunged into the test fluid. The results show that the que...
