Abstract

Nanofluid is a new type of heat transfer fluid with superior thermal performance characteristics, engineered by dispersing metallic or
non-metallic nanoparticles with a typical size of less than 100 nm in the conventional heat transfer fluids. It’s use remarkably
augments, the heat transfer potential of the base liquids.In this paper, TiO2 nano fluid made of different proportion of nano particles is
prepared by ultrasonic probe method and its stability is checked with different time period of sonication.Various properties of nano
fluid were studied and observed the improvement in thermal properties as compared to base liquid. It is found that Nano fluid is very
effective in cooling than the conventional cooling fluid and this can be used in many heat transfer applications.
