Abstract

At present, literature data on density of nanofluids are still scarce and controversial. In this paper, density data for nanofluids formed by water, as a base fluid, and solid nanoparticles of two different materials are presented. Density was measured by using a Density Meter DA-130N from Kyoto Electronics. The obtain result is compared with previous models and found incompatible for temperature variations.
