Abstract
In this letter, we have presented an experimental investigation of the specific heat c(p) of water-based Al2O3 nanofluid with a differential scanning calorimeter. The result indicates that the specific heat c(p) of nanofluid decreases gradually as the nanoparticle volume fraction phi increases from 0.0% to 21.7%. The relationship between them exhibits good agreement with the prediction from the thermal equilibrium model [Eq. (2)]. The other simple mixing model [Eq. (1)] fails to predict the specific heat c(p) of nanofluid. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics.Keywords
