Study of the effect of preparation parameters on thermal conductivity of metal oxide nanofluids using Taguchi method

The optimization of process parameters the nanofluid preparation for maximum stability and high heat transfer is an active important area research. In this work, effect surfactant material, weight, ultrasonication time are studied on distilled water-based CuO, Fe3O4, CuO+Fe3O4 nanofluids. Taguchi L9 orthogonal array was used design experiment 9 samples were prepared using array. each level parameter thermal conductivity analyzed by calculating Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) optimum levels these identified. crucial role in delivering nanofluids as predicted SNR analysis further confirmed Analysis Variance (ANOVA).
