Synthesis of Al2O3–Cu/water hybrid nanofluids using two step method and its thermo physical properties

TL;DR: In this article, Al2O3-Cu hybrid particles have been synthesized by hydrogen reduction technique from the powder mixture of Al 2O3 and CuO in 90:10 weight proportions obtained from a chemical route synthesis and the experimental results have shown that both thermal conductivity and viscosity of the prepared hybrid nanofluids increase with the nanoparticles volume concentration.
