Abstract
The paper presents the results of the experimental research of thermal properties (thermal conductivity, heat capacity, density and temperature diffusivity) of nitrogen- and oxygen-containing liquids in pure form and in the form containing 0.5 % fullerene-like carbons and carbon nanotubes with diameter d = 40 nm, 50 nm, 60 nm) in the temperature range 293-453 K and in the pressure range 0.101-49.01 MPa. To measure thermal conductivity, heat capacity and temperature diffusivity, special setups designed by professors E.S. Platunov, M.M. Safarov and I.F. Golubev were used. The computer-aided method of monotonous heating and regular thermal first-order regime was applied. The total relative error of measuring thermal conductivity, heat capacity, density and temperature diffusivity was equal to 2.6, 3.4, 0.1, 4.5 % when confidence probability a = 0.95. Using the law of corresponding states and experimental data on thermal conductivity, heat capacity, density and temperature diffusivity of the samples, the empirical equation for calculating the thermophysical properties of unexplored liquids under different temperatures and pressures was obtained.

Introduction
Nanofluids being produced have to meet certain requirements. They should be uniform, resistant to agglomeration and precipitation for a long time; they should be free of chemical reactions, etc. According to many authors, the main problem is agglomeration. It should be noted that the tendency towards agglomeration reflects one of the most important properties of nanoparticles - their high surface activity. On the one hand, high surface activity of nanoparticles allows the smaller particles do not sink (not to precipitate), and, on the other hand, they tend to form agglomerates. This feature of nanoparticles significantly affects the technologies for nanofluids producing and keeping them in operation condition.
Two crystalline allotropic modifications of carbon (graphite and diamond) have been known since ancient times. As early as 1973 D.A. Bochvar and E.N. Galperin proposed that a closed polyhedron of
carbon atoms in the form of a truncated icosahedron might have a closed electron shell and high binding energy. However, this work was not accepted by scientific community, and only in 1985 H. Kroto with his co-workers discovered an intensive peak with a mass of 720 u in the mass-spectrum of graphite decomposition products under the laser beam. This fact was explained by the presence of C60 molecules. The other less intensive peak with a weight of 840 u was associated with C70 molecule. The fascinating story of this discovery was detailed in Kroto, Smalley and Curl's Nobel lectures. A new allotropic modification of carbon was called "fullerene". In 1990 Kratschmer's method for producing fullerenes in macroscopic quantities led to the intensive studies and emergence of new trends in solid-state physics, chemistry of aromatic compounds and molecular electronics.
Fullerenes are resistant polyhydric carbon clusters with the amount of atoms from several dozens or
more. The number of carbon atoms in such a cluster is not random, and complies with certain laws. The form of fullerenes is a spheroid, the faces of which form pentagons and hexagons. According to the Euler's geometrical calculations, to construct such a polyhedron the number of pentagonal faces should be twelve, the number of the hexagonal faces can be chosen arbitrarily. Such a requirement is met by clusters with the number of atoms n = 32, 44, 50, 58, 60, 70, 72, 78, 80, 82, 84 etc. Owing to its highest stability and symmetry, fullerene C60 is of great interest from the experimental point of view.
Numerous experimental and theoretical papers on various aspects of the physics of C60 in different states (an isolated molecule, C60 in solutions, and especially C60 in the solid state) have already been published. C60 forms molecular crystals at temperatures below 600 K. Crystals of high purity (99.98 %) and of millimeter sizes may be grown from the gaseous phase. Isolated Cn molecules are called fullerenes; fullerites are fullerenes in the solid state, including polymerized fullerene structures. Diversified fullerene derivatives include intercalated compounds and endohedral fullerenes. Intercalation allows introducing impurities into the cavities of the fullerite crystal lattice and endohedral fullerenes are formed while different kinds of atoms are introduced into a Cn cluster.
From the chemical point of view, fullerenes can be considered as three-dimensional analogues of planar aromatic compounds, but with the important difference: the conjugation with an electronic system is permanent. Fullerenes do not contain hydrogen which can participate in a substitution reaction. There are two types of chemical reactions with fullerenes: addition reactions and redox reactions, leading to covalent exohedral compounds and salts, respectively. If one could find a chemical reaction, which would open a window in a fullerene cage, allowing injection of a small molecule or atom and further regeneration of the cluster, one can get a method of endohedral fullerenes obtaining. However, the majority of endohedral metal fullerenes are being generated either in the presence of a alien substance, or by implantation.
The most efficient method of fullerenes production is based on thermal decomposition of the graphite. If graphite is heated moderately, the bond between the individual layers of graphite is broken, but vaporized material does not decompose into single atoms. Such vaporized layer consists of individual fragments that are a combination of hexagons. These fragments build C60 molecule and other fullerenes. For decomposition of graphite in the preparation of fullerenes we can use resistive and high-frequency
heating of a graphite electrode, combustion of hydrocarbons, laser irradiation of a graphite surface, evaporation of graphite by a focused sunbeam. These processes are carried out in a buffer gas and helium is commonly used as such. Arc discharge with graphite electrodes in a helium atmosphere is mostly used to obtain fullerene. The main role of helium is associated with the cooling of fragments that have high degree of vibrational excitation, which prevents their integration into a stable structure. Optimum pressure of helium is in the range of 50-100 Torr. The basis of the method is simple: an electric arc with an evaporating anode is ignited between two graphite electrodes. The carbon black, containing from 1 to 40 % (depending on the geometric and technological parameters) of fullerenes, sets out on the walls of the reactor. For extracting fullerenes from the fullerene-containing carbon black, their separation and purification, the solvent extraction and column chromatography are used. At the first stage the carbon black is treated by non-polar solvent (toluene, xylene, carbon disulfide). The extraction efficiency is achieved by using Soxhlet extractor or by ultrasonication. The obtained solution of fullerenes is separated from the residue by filtration and centrifugation, the solvent is distilled or evaporated. The solid residue comprises a mixture of fullerenes, in varying degrees of solvated solvent. Separation of fullerenes into the individual compounds is carried out by means of column liquid chromatography or high pressure liquid chromatography. Complete removal of the solvent from the solid sample of fullerene is carried out by keeping it at 150-250 °C under dynamic vacuum for several hours. Further increase in purity degree is achieved by sublimation of purified samples.
Experimental studies of effective thermal conductivity of such nanofluids as: gold + toluene, aluminum oxide + water, titanium oxide + water, copper oxide + water, carbon nanotube + water are presented in [26]. The diameters of these spherical particles were respectively 1, 65, 20, 40 and 33 nm; the average length and diameter of carbon nanotubes were 10-6 m and 150 nm. The author's measurement results [26] have shown that the effective thermal conductivity of nanofluids is not abnormally high, and with good accuracy can be predicted by the model [6] for spherical nanoparticles and with the help of Yamada and Ota's single-cell model for carbon nanotubes [26] .The most detailed analysis of the revealed unusual properties of nanofluids is given in the review [27]. In addition to strong growth of thermal conductivity with a low concentration of nanoparticles, the author indicates other important properties of nanofluids that distinguish them from conventional suspensions. In particular, they include the
nonlinear dependence of thermal conductivity on the concentration of the nanoparticles and its strong dependence on temperature and particle size. Non-linear dependence between thermal conductivity and concentration of particles was first found while researching carbon nanotubes-oil nanofluids [28]. Strong dependence of thermal conductivity of nanofluids on temperature and particle size was described in a number of papers. Measurement results obtained by different authors were classified according to the nanoparticles material. Water, ethylene glycol, oil, and polymers-based composite materials were used as the base liquids. Also, the materials of nanoparticles were different. They included multi-walled carbon nanotubes, gold, copper, silicon carbide, aluminium oxide and titanium. It is well known that particles tend to agglomerate and this process affects thermal conductivity of the fluid. It was shown that the presence of nanoparticles in liquids greatly increases thermal conductivity, besides the scale of increasing thermal conductivity depends on the material of nanoparticles and their volume fraction. Thus, while some experimental results testify to the anomalous behavior of thermal conductivity, others confirm common understanding of suspensions. Such a controversy between different authors' data is due to a wide variety of factors affecting thermal conductivity of nanofluids and necessitates further accumulation of experimental data and their systematization.

2.1. The experimental setup for measuring thermophysical properties Cp, a) of solutions and liquids under different temperatures and pressures
To measure the coefficient of temperature diffusivity, thermal conductivity and heat capacity of liquids under different temperatures and pressures, an experimental setup was used according to the method of regular thermal regime [2, 12-15] (Fig. 1) and density (Fig. 2 and 3).
This setup (Fig. 1) consists of a cylindrical vessel 1, placed inside the outer vessel 3 filled with

thermostatic liquid 9, which is placed in a medium calorimeter 13. The receptacles are divided by an insulator 2. The device comprises a coil for cooling 5; a heater 6 for heating and setting experimental temperature; a thermostat 7 to protect from overheating; a valve 8 for a drain of thermostating liquid; a thermometer 10 for monitoring the temperature; an auger-mixer 11 for the active fluid mixing and equalization of the temperature gradient; an electric motor 1 for rotating the screw; a contact thermometer 14 to set the temperature of the experiment; a galvanometer 15; an electric network 4. To create the pressure of liquid the device is provided with a pressing vessel 18 and a deadweight pressure tester MP-2500 21. A pressing vessel 18 and a calorimeter 13 are connected by stainless steel tubes 17. To perform the experiment a stopwatch is required.
To monitor the temperature of a-calorimeter we used a differential chrome-aluminum thermocouple with a diameter of 0.15 mm, the ends of which were connected to a galvanometer 15. A cold junction of the differential thermocouple was placed into the thermostating liquid and a hot junction - into the center of a-calorimeter 13. The calculations showed that confidence limit error of thermal conductivity measured by regular thermal regime of the first kind in a relative form at a = 0.95 was equal to 1.9 %, procedure error was 0.4 %, instrumental error was 1.1 %. The total relative measurement error was 3.4 %.
2.2. Method for measuring thermophysical properties (X, Cp, a) of solutions and liquids under different temperatures and pressures
In the closed position of valves 16, 22 the test liquid is poured into a glass 23, then valves 22, 16 are opened and when the calorimeter is filled with the liquid, they are closed. Before the experiment the liquid in the setup is degassed by means of heating the experimental device up to the boiling point at the open position of the high pressure valve 23. The stationary thermal condition under the given temperature of the experiment is set after the heating. The required pressure is created by the MP-2500 deadweight pressure tester through the pressure vessel of the device. Then the calorimeter with the test material and fixed thermocouple is heated to a certain temperature and put into a thermostat. During the setting of the regular mode the change in the temperature is observed. If the object is cooled under a constant temperature, provided the heat transfer coefficient is relatively high, then for the period of the regular regime the cooling graph of the object (in semi-logarithmic coordinates it is designated as ln(A7) = =/(At)) is represented in the form of a straight line. According to this graph, you can find the index (rate) of cooling (m) through the ratio [2, 11-15, 17]:
m = ln(AT)/AT, (1)
where AT is a difference between the temperature at some point of the test object and the constant ambient temperature (thermostating liquid); At is the cooling time.
K.M. Kolarov's [2] experimental setup, shown in Fig. 1, is used to determine the temperature diffusivity of dairy products and tomato pastes [2].
After being upgraded by us, the Kolarov's setup allows measuring the temperature diffusivity of the

2.3. The experimental setup for measuring specific heat capacity of solutions depending on the temperature under atmospheric pressure
The experimental setup for measuring specific heat of liquids under the temperature range of 273-473 K and atmospheric pressure was developed by M.M. Safarov. According to the method of monotonous heating, the setup (Fig. 2) consists of a calorimeter 1, a graph plotter 2, a container with melting ice 3 and electrical measuring instruments 9,10 [14].
The calorimeter consists of a metal cylinder on the outer surface of which the heater is wound 4. Inside the cylinder the intermediate core of calorimeter in the form of a cylindrical radiator 5 with a high thermal conductivity is located. The grooves of the core are filled with test liquid, and along the axis there is a hot junction of the differential thermocouple 6. The calorimeter is insulated from
1 ■
outside with asbestos and placed in a copper cylinder 7 and its temperature is equal to the temperature of melting ice [33].
Such a construction of the calorimeter allows measuring the heat capacity of liquids during monotonous heating. The presence of the intermediate core in the form of a radiator 5 excludes the influence of thermal conductivity of the liquid on the measurements in this condition.
The experiment is carried out in the following order. The calorimeter is filled with test liquid 8 and a copper cylinder is placed into the ice-water mixture 3. The calorimeter is kept for one hour under the temperature of melting ice to achieve the thermodynamic equilibrium. Then the heater of calorimeter is switched on 4 and simultaneously the graph plotter H-3306 2 starts. Its X-axis represents the time and Y-axis fixes the temperature of the calorimeter.
2.4. Experimental setup for measuring the specific heat capacity of solutions under high state parameters
To measure the heat capacity of liquids under high temperatures and pressures the experimental setup was used according to the method of monotonous heating [14-15, 21-22].
Professor M.M. Safarov's setup basically consists of a measuring cell (container) 1, a chamber (the pressure container) of high pressure 6 and electrical measuring devices 15, 16 (Fig. 3). The measuring cell 1 is placed into the copper glass 19 on which the nichrome heater is wound 3. Through the thin-walled stainless steel tubes the measuring cell 1 is connected with the pressure vessel 6. The heater 3 and the hot junction of the thermocouple 20 are under atmospheric pressure. When measuring we used the differential chrome-aluminium thermocouple with a diameter of 0.15 mm, the ends of which were connected to the graph plotter 2. The cold junction of the differential thermocouple was placed into the Dewar vessel with melting ice and the hot junction touched the body of the measuring cell 1. To measure the specific heat capacity under high pressure and high temperature the setup was equipped with a cylindrical electric furnace 3. Its outer diameter is 34 mm and its inner diameter is 24 mm. On the outer surface of the electric furnace there is an electric heater in the form of a spiral made of the nichrome wire with a diameter of 1 mm. Asbestos was used as insulation. The electric furnace was

insulated from the outside and from the ends. The electric furnace was powered by the laboratory transformer (LATR) 17 and the stabilizer 18. Current and voltage were measured by an ammeter 15 and voltmeter 16. In this setup the pressure vessel was used for measuring the thermal conductivity of the solutions under various temperatures and pressures. To verify the correctness of the experiment procedure the test measurings were carried out with toluene, «-hexane and kerosene. The specific heat capacity of the control samples under atmospheric pressure was measured in the temperature range 273-373 K. The experimental values of specific heat capacity of the control samples are shown in Fig. 4. This graph also shows the data from [13].

toluene, «-hexane and kerosene coincide with the data from [13] through the whole temperature range. Being sure that the equipment qualitatively and quantitatively reproduces the heat capacity of the control samples depending on temperature and pressure we started to measure the specific heat of test objects.
The procedure for measuring the specific heat. When the valves 7 are closed, the test solution is poured into the glasses 8. Then the valves 7 are opened and after filling the measuring cell (container) with test solution they are closed again .
The required pressure is formed by the MP-2500 deadweight tester through the pressure vessel in the device. Then the electric furnace circuit is switched on and simultaneously the H-306 graph plotter is switched on too. Each measuring of the heat capacity allowed obtaining a graph which is shown in Fig. 5. Thus, by comparing two graphs, the specific heat capacity of the test solutions is calculated.
2.5. Formulas for calculating the specific heat capacity of solutions on the basis of experimental data
The specific heat capacity of the test solutions according to the experimental data (Fig. 2 and 3) was calculated using the following formula:
C = Tx (m1C1 + B + KTav ) -T1 (B + KTav )
P T1mx '
where mx - test liquid mass; m1 - calibration
Tl + T2
liquid mass; Tav = 1 2 2 , T - heating time of the
calibration liquid, t2 - heating time of test liquid; B = 40,93 and K = - 0,04 - are the constants
determined by measuring the thermal conductivity of the calibration liquid under the constant heating power.
Formula (6) eliminates the influence of the parasitic heat flows on measuring the specific heat due to the introduction of permanent measuring cells.
The heat capacity of test solutions according to the experimental data (Fig. 3) in a wide range of temperatures and pressures is calculated by the formula:
Cp. = ^AAI,
p mAT
(7)
where I - is current intensity; R - resistance of the heater; m - mass of test objects; AT - difference of temperatures; At - the change in temperature of the measuring cell in time At.
2.6. Calculation of measurement inaccuracy of the specific heat capacity of the investigated solutions
According to Eq. (6) the confidence interval limit error of measuring the specific heat capacity is determined from the ratios [3, 4, 16, 19, 20, 24, 25]

The calculations showed that the confidence limit of the error in measuring the specific heat capacity in the relative form with a = 0.95 is 0.45 %, the procedure error is 1.37 % and the instrumental error is 1.18 %. The total relative error of Cp is 3.0 %. The detailed calculation of a separate measuring error of the heat capacity is given in Appendix 2.
The error calculation of the measuring specific heat capacity (Fig. 3) is done in accordance with [3, 11, 14-16, 19-21, 24, 25].

2.7. The description of the experimental setup for measuring the specific heat capacity of investigated solutions in regular thermal regime
To measure the specific heat capacity of solutions under atmospheric pressure (T = 293 K), we assembled the experimental setup working according to the second method of the regular thermal regime [12, 15, 21, 24].
This experimental setup is shown in Fig. 6. It consists of a cardboard tube 1 with a diameter of 40 cm and with a height of 1.5 m, a calorimeter 2, a synchronous motor 3, an impeller 4 and M 195/1 mirror galvanometer 9. The tube 1 is placed on the cylindrical supports 6 and raised 15 cm above the
floor. A fan which is rotated by a synchronous motor with a frequency of 3000 r/min is installed on the floor along the tube axis The fan creates the forced air flow and provides the condition a = const. The conditions of t = const are ensured by thermostating the premises.
The cylindrical measuring calorimeter is made of red copper and has the following dimensions: inner and outer diameters are equal to 29.5 and 31.5 mm, respectively, its height is 103 mm. The suspension is mounted on the upper end of the measuring calorimeter and the junction of a differential measuring thermocouple is inserted axially through this end (8). The hot junction of the differential thermocouple is inserted through the dual channel strip and is located along the axis of the measuring calorimeter, in its central part. The cold junction of a differential thermocouple is in the air flow at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from the calorimeter. The bottom end of the measuring calorimeter is threaded. The sample 5 is filled through the bottom open end of the measuring calorimeter and the copper stopper is screwed. The measuring calorimeter is placed in a chamber which is immersed into the TS-24 liquid thermostat. The measuring calorimeter and the sample in the thermostat are uniformly warmed up to the temperature which is 10-15 °C above the room temperature. After that, the chamber with a measuring calorimeter is removed from the thermostat and the calorimeter is suspended along the axis of the tube 1, wherein the forced air flow is created.
The ends of the differential thermocouple 8 are connected to a mirror galvanometer 9, through which the cooling rate of the measuring calorimeter m is determined.
Fig. 6. The experimental setup for measuring the specific heat capacity of solutions and powders under room temperature
To determine the heat-transfer coefficient a we used a normal calorimeter which is a solid cylinder, made of red copper. Its height and diameter are the same as those of the measuring calorimeter. The hot junction of differential thermocouple is mounted into the normal calorimeter like in the measuring calorimeter 8. The surface of the normal calorimeter is processed in the same way as the surface of the measuring calorimeter. The normal calorimeter is warmed up in a TS-24 thermostat and then is suspended along the axis of the tube 1 at the same distance from the fan like the measuring calorimeter.
The specific heat capacity Cp of the samples is determined according to the formula [15, 22, 24]:
Cp =-
S y f a C
sh
M1 { m S
(22)
where S - is a surface of measuring calorimeter; M1 -is a mass of the investigated sample; Csh - is a heat capacity of the shell of the measuring calorimeter; y - "criterion" value.
The field of temperatures of normal calorimeter is considered uniform and therefore the criterion y for it is equal to 1. In this case, the coefficient of heat dissipation a is determined by the formula:
a = m„
Cn
S
(23)
where mn and Cn - are the rate of cooling and the heat capacity of the normal calorimeter, respectively.
According to Eq. (22) we can calculate the specific heat capacity of the test sample on the basis of the experimental data.

As a pilot experiment the study of the dependence of the specific heat of the solution containing 90 % cottonseed oil and 10 % pure gasoline (wt. %) was carried out. The measurement results are shown in Table 2 which correspond to the results calculated by formula (7), indicating the correctness of the calculation according to (6) and measurement techniques in general.
Tables 3 and 4 show the results of determining thermal conductivity of the colloidal liquid hydrazine hydrate, both in pure form and containing fullerene (C70), depending on temperature and pressure. Experiments were carried out on the measuring setup, the functional diagram of which is shown in Fig. 1.
Tables 3, 4 present the results of the experimental data on thermal conductivity of the investigated samples, depending on the temperature, pressure and concentration of fullerene (C70; dav = 40 nm).
Tables 3 and 4 demonstrate that thermal conductivity of the fluid colloidal hydrazine hydrate both in pure form or containing fullerene C70 decreases with increasing temperature, while the pressure increase leads to the drop of thermal conductivity of the liquid hydrazine hydrate.
For example, when the temperature is 293 K and the pressure changes in the range 0.101-49.01 MPa, the thermal conductivity of the colloidal system (hydrazine hydrate + 0.5 % C70) increases by 47.4 %, when the temperature is 541.3 K it increases by 89.1 %, and when T = 702.4 it increases 10-fold. It was found that the addition of 0.5 % C70 in hydrazine hydrate when T = 293 K and P = 0.101 MPa increases its thermal conductivity by 28.9 %, under the temperature 702.4 K and the pressure P = 49.01 MPa thermal conductivity increases by 32.6 %.

Using equation (24) we can calculate the specific heat capacity of unexplored solutions (with the arithmetic average error of 0.3 % depending on the temperature under atmospheric pressure. For this purpose it is necessary to know only the mass value of concentration or molar mass.
Similarly, for calculating the temperature diffusivity, thermal conductivity and heat capacity of heat carriers depending on pressure the following equations were proposed: \2

Verification of equations (25) showed that they describe the temperature diffusivity, thermal conductivity and heat capacity of the heat carriers under investigation in the range of pressures from atmospheric up to 0.141 MPa under the room temperature with the mean square error of 7.61 %.
It is known that liquids and solids have two basic mechanisms of thermal conductivity: by free electrons (electronic thermal conductivity) and by atomic vibrations (phonons or lattice thermal conductivity). Phonon thermal conductivity dominates in dielectrics, which are basically liquids, including clean water. Electronic thermal conductivity dominates in metals. To explain the reasons for the thermal conductivity increase in nanofluids containing particles of highly heat-conducting materials, researchers analyze several basic mechanisms: Brownian motion of nanoparticles; the formation of high thermal conductivity of the liquid layer (with a molecular level thickness) at the liquid-particle interface; ballast transfer of thermal energy within a single nanoparticle and between nanoparticles which occurs when they are in contact; and the effects of nanoparticle clustering [5-8, 17, 23, 26-31].
