ABSTRACT
Thermo-physical and heat transfer capabilities of nanoparticles
suspended in natural oils tends to replace conventional fluids
due to excellent lubricating properties and good
biodegradability. The biodegradable nano fluids find wide
application in metal working. Coconut oil based nano fluids are
environmental friendly and has good biodegradability and
excellent lubricating properties compared to mineral oils,
synthetic fluids and petroleum based fluids.
ABSTRACT
In this investigation the alumina & MoS2 nanopowders were
suspended at 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5% volume in virgin coconut oil as
base fluid. The thermalphysical properties of coconut oil based
nano fluids were investigated and are compared with raw virgin
coconut oil. The thermal conductivity of nanofluid with 0.5%
volume of nanopowders increased by 14% as compared to
virgin coconut oil. The study reported decrease in kinematic
viscosity of nanofluids by 6.70% compared to virgin coconut oil.
OBJECTIVE
To develop a eco friendly Nano fluid using virgin coconut oil.
To study the performance of Nano fluid at various concentration of Nano
powder(0.1%,0.3%,0.5%).
To study the behaviour of Nano fluid at various
temperatures(25C,50C,75C).
To study the physical properties of Nano fluid such as density , viscosity,
specific volume & specific gravity.
To study the thermal conductivity of Nano fluid.

WHAT IS HYBRID?
BALL MILLING
DESCRIPTION
It is a type of grinder used to grind materials into extremely fine
powder for use in paints and ceramics.
It works on the principle of impact i.e., size reduction is done by
impact as the balls drop from near the top of the shell.

ULTRASONICATION
Sonication is the act of applying sound energy to agitate particles
in a sample, for various purposes.
Ultrasonic frequencies (>20 kHz) are usually used, leading to the
process also being known as ultra sonication .
It is used to prevent agglomeration (settling down of particles) in
the synthesis of Nano fluid.
Working process:
During sonication, kinetic energy of the oil molecules and the Nano
powder molecules increases due to applied ultrasonic frequency,
which is suddenly arrested by switching off the apparatus which
thereby prevents agglomeration.

SYNTHESIS OF NANO
Alumina nanofluid: FLUIDS
From the volume concentration table , the required weight of
alumina powder for corresponding volume concentration has
been added to the base fluid (oil) and it is subjected to ultra
sonication. Thus alumina nanofluid has been synthesised.
Hybrid nanofluid:
From the volume concentration table , the required weight of
alumina & MoS2 powder for corresponding volume concentration
has been added to the base fluid (oil) and it is subjected to ultra
sonication. Thus hybrid nanofluid has been synthesised.
