Abstract
Alumina nanofluids are one of the most useful nanofluids. In order to evaluate the colloidal behavior of nanoparticles in alumina/water nanofluid, the influence of effective factors such as pH, ionic strength and surfactants, was studied. Zeta potential, particle size and turbidity change of each nanofluid was investigated. According to the results for 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mass% nanofluid, point of zero charge was obtained at pH values of 9.5, 10.2 and 10.5, respectively. The highest nanofluid stability occurred at pH 4 and its lowest was at pH 10. The anionic surfactant had a greater effect on the stability in compared with cationic and nonionic surfactants. By increasing in ionic strength,...

Abstract
Alumina nanofluids are one of the most useful nanofluids, especially for increasing the thermal conductivity. Due to importance of porous media in the improvement of heat transfer, this study investigates the transport and retention of gamma alumina/water nanofluid in the water-saturated porous media. For this purpose, alumina nanofluids were introduced to the porous media consisting of water-saturated glass beads possessing various pH values (4, 7 and 10) and different ionic strengths (0.001 M of KCl, CaCl2, AlCl3, K2SO4, CaSO4, Al2(SO4)3, K2CO3 and CaCO3). Then the break through curve of each experiment was drawn and modeled by combining classical filtration theory with...
