A nanofluid is mixture of nano sized particles and a base fluid. This paper investigates by using laboratory based double pipe heat exchanger model, the performance of nanofluid containing about 48.46nm  particle size nanoparticles (ZnO) without or with addition of nonionic surfactant Rokanol K7 (500ppm) into the base fluid double distilled water to prepared three different concentrations 1.0%,...

nanofluids are colloidal suspension of nanoparticles in a base fluid and have superior thermal properties in comparison to their base fluids. novel properties of nanofluids are yet to be explored to the highest potential. currently extensive investigation has been done on thermal conductivity of metallic and oxide nanofluids. composites offer the advantage of tailor made properties and fluids w...

in this paper, the measurement of the viscosity of zno in ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, mixture of ethylene glycol and water (60:40 by weight), and a mixture of propylene glycol and water (60:40 by weight) and the thermal conductivity in ethylene glycol and propylene glycol as base fluids in the range of temperature from 25 ºc to 60 ºc are investigated. the results indicate that as the tem...

The rheological regulation of the “three high” (high temperature, high density and high salinity) water-based drilling fluid is a worldwide problem due to the combined influence of temperature, solid content and salinity. This paper investigates the factors and regulation methods about rheological property of “three high” water based drilling fluid, and the effects of clay, salinity and weighti...
