This paper reports a significant enhancement in the thermal conductivity of silver-nanoparticle-based aqueous nanofluids with the addition of negligible amounts of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The present work was conducted using purified MWCNTs/water nanofluids prepared by a wet grinding method. Silver nanoparticles were dispersed into the MWCNT/water nanofluids via a one-step method using pulse power evaporation, which was observed to improve the dispersibility and thermal conductivity of the nanofluids. A particle sizing system (PSS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to confirm the size of silver nanoparticles in base fluids. The PSS measurement results reveal that the size of the silver nanoparticles was approximately 100 nm, which is in good agreement with the results obtained from TEM and SEM. The maximum absorbance (2.506 abs at a wavelength of 264 nm) and highest thermal conductivity enhancement (14.5% at 40 degrees C) were achieved by a fluid containing '0.05 wt% MWCNTs-3 wt% Ag' composite.
