An experimental study on the thermal conductivity of cerium oxide/ethylene glycol nanofluid: developing a new correlation

The main aim of this experimental study is to examine the effect of cerium oxide nanoparticles on the thermal conductivity of ethylene glycol. In this way, cerium oxide nanoparticles with the particle diameter of 10–30 nm have been used for making nanofluid samples. The samples were made in volume concentration range of 0.25–2.5% using a two-step method. Visual observation of nanofluid samples showed that they have acceptable stability....
