Nano materials have made a revelation in all fields of engineering and technology. Materials of size less than 100 nm are termed as nano materials. The excellent properties of nano materials have attracted the scientists and engineers more towards nano technology. Solid nano particles dispersed in the base fluids such as water or ethylene glycol are called nanofluids, especially used to increase the heat transfer capability of base fluids. In this work we have synthesized Al2O3-Cu nano composite powder in a thermo chemical route that involves the preparation of precursor powder from metal nitrates and hydrogen reduction technique. Two different proportions of precursors were used to obtain the nano composites of two different proportions. The prepared powder was characterised using XRD, SEM and EDS. Water based hybrid nanofluids were prepared and their stability have been studied for different volume concentrations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
