The chemical reduction method is however used only for nanofluid containing Cu nanoparticle in water. The thermal conductivities of the nanofluids are measured by a modified transient hot wire method. Experimental results show that nanofluids with low concentration of Cu CuO or carbon nanotube CNT have considerably higher thermal conductivity than identical base liquids. For CuO-ethylene glycol suspensions at 5 vol. MWNT-ethylene glycol at 1 vol. MWNT-water at vol. and MWNT-synthetic engine oil at 2 vol. thermal conductivity is enhanced by 17 and 30 respectively. For Cu-water at vol. thermal conductivity is increased by . The thermal conductivity improvement for CuO and CNT nanofluids is approximately linear with the volume fraction. On the other hand a strong dependence of thermal conductivity on the measured time is observed for Cu-water nanofluid. The system performance of a 10-RT water chiller air conditioner subject to MWNT water nanofluid is experimentally investigated. The system is tested at the standard water chiller rating condition in the range of the flow rate from 60 to 140 L min. In spite of the static measurement of thermal conductivity of nanofluid shows only increase at room temperature relative to the base fluid at volume fraction of vol.
