Abstract

In practice, lubricating fluids are used for minimizing the friction and the wear in which the squat concentration of homogeneous nanoparticles dispersion reveal more thermo-physical characteristics than their base form. Therefore, the present study proposes an experimental investigation on the thermal conductivity and thermal stability of Copper oxide- coconut oil nanofluids. The dispersion stability of nanofluids is estimated by sedimentation test. The thermal stability and thermal conductivity of nanofluids are determined by Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and thermal conductivity meter, respectively. The experimental results clearly reveal that the CuO-Coconut oil nanofluids exhibit more thermal stability and thermal conductivity than that of the coconut oil.
