✦ Synopsis

We apply the chemical solution method to synthesize Cu 2 O nanofluids: suspensions of cuprous-oxide (Cu 2 O) nanoparticles in water, and experimentally study the effect of reactant molar concentration and nanofluid temperature on the thermal conductivity. Substantial conductivity enhancement up to 24% is achievable with the synthesized nanofluids. The nanoparticle shape is variable by adjusting some synthesis parameters. The thermal conductivity shows both sensitivity and nonlinearity to the reactant molar concentration and the nanofluid temperature.

Nanofluids are prepared by dispersing TiO 2 nanoparticles in rod-shapes of βˆ…10 nm Γ— 40 nm (diameter by length) and in spherical shapes of βˆ…15 nm in deionized water. A transient hot-wire apparatus with an integrated correlation model is used to measure the thermal conductivities of these nanofluids m
