Effects of TMAH on the stability of Fe₃O₄-Water Nanofluid.
| Property | Effect of TMAH |
|---|---|
| Stability | Significantly improved; prevents agglomeration and sedimentation |
| Zeta Potential | Increased, leading to better electrostatic repulsion |
| Viscosity | Slightly increased due to particle coating |
| Thermal Conductivity | Enhanced due to better dispersion of nanoparticles |
| Magnetic Properties | Retained with more uniform particle response to magnetic fields |
| Specific Heat Capacity | Minimal change, as TMAH is typically used in low concentrations |
