In the present study, the thermal conductivity of the ZnO-EG nanofluid has been investigated experimentally. For this purpose, zinc oxide nanoparticles with nominal diameters of 18 nm have been dispersed in ethylene glychol at different volume fractions (0.000625, 0.00125, 0.005, 0.01, 0.015, 0.02,...
