Thermal Diffusivity Measurements in Fluids Containing Metallic
Nanoparticles using Transient Thermal Lens
Thermal diffusivity measurements are carried out in nanofluids, solutions containing gold nanoparticles (~ 1040 nm size),
using the mode-mismatched dual-beam thermal lens technique. An Ar+ laser is used as the heating source, and an intensity
stabilized HeNe laser serves as the probe beam. This technique provides a reliable photothermal alternative for measuring
thermal diffusivities of nanofluids and semitransparent samples. The characteristic time constant of the transient thermal lens
was obtained by fitting the experimental data to the theoretical expression for the transient thermal lens. From this
characteristic time, the fluid thermal diffusivity, which increases when the particle sizes increase was obtained. The size of the
nanoparticles was obtained from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis.
