I want to make nano-fluid by taking HY-THERM 500 oil as base fluid to overcome come corrosion and erosion of the surface so please suggest which type and size of Nano-particle we should mix and also suggest best methods to prepare it.
Find attached two review papers on heat transfer enhancement using nano-fluids. You have several examples on particle types, size and concentrations that can be used with oil as base fluid and the best methods to prepare the nano-fluids.
There are surfactants such as CTAB, gum arabic, SDS and SDBS.
So when you search a Journal, keep them as keyword and search along with the nanoparticle you wish to use.
However you must also understand that inclusion of surfactant can also increase your nanoparticle diameter.
So I recommend, lower concentration with surfactant for an optimized test run.
However, if you are going to use this for an experimental study, that too for a turbulent flow, then, try to have the test run immediately after the nanofluid is prepared, which makes sure that the fluid is in continuous run and there is no possibity of clustering immediately.
