Abstract :
A theoretical study model has been proposed for predicting the thermal conductivity of hybrid nanofluid. Present model takes an important step towards understanding the heat conduction in hybrid nanofluids. Effect of surface area and size of nanoparticles is considered. The model predictions are in good agreement with experimental data over a wide range of particle sizes, volume fractions and their thermal conductivity of individual nanoparticles of hybrid nanofluid.
