Abstract: A study is carried out on the Fe nanofluids that are prepared with ethylene glycol and Fe nanocrystalline powder synthesized by a chemical vapor condensation process. The results shows that the thermal conductivity of a Fe nanofluid is increased nonlinearly up to 18% as the volume fraction of particles increases up to 0.55 vol.%.
