Abstract

The nano fluid consist of Al2O3 nanoparticles was dissolved by double distilled water (DDW) in three concentrations, 0.5% wt, 1%wt, and 1.5%wt of nanomaterials.  The effect of adding nano materials on the viscosity and thermal conductivity was calculated experimentally at room temperature. Some mathematical models were used to calculate the viscosity and the thermal conductivity and compare it with the experimental work. The results showed that viscosity and thermal conductivity increased with increasing concentration of Al2O3 nanoparticles, and there is a great convergence between the theoretical and measured viscosity and thermal conductivity. The SEM images showed that there is homogeneity in the distribution of the nano fluid at 1%wt., and some agglomerations were detected at a concentration 1.5%.  The EDS spectrum showed that the percentage of aluminum increased gradually with increasing the Al2O3 concentration. The X-Ray diffraction indicated slight increase in the intensity of diffraction with increasing the Al2O3 concentration.
