Abstract

Experimental investigation of heat transfer coefficient of CuO/Water nanofluid are reported in this paper. The heat transfer coefficient of the CuO/water was measured with the help of single cylinder diesel engine. The nanofluid was prepared by dispersing a CuO nanoparticle in deionized water. CuO/water nanofluid with a nominal diameter of 25nm at different volume concentrations (3, 4 & 5 vol.%) at room temperature were used for this investigations. This experimental result showed that the convective heat transfer coefficient increases with an increase in concentration of nanoparticle in the fluid and also increase with increasing the liquid flow rate.
