Novel use of MgO nanoparticle additive for enhancing the thermal conductivity of CuO/water nanofluid

The present work aims to address the low thermal conductivity of CuO/water nanofluid due to the spherical shape of CuO nanoparticles by adding small amount of magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles to the nanofluid. Novel CuO–MgO/water hybrid nanofluid has been synthesised and studied at different volu...
