In this research, CNT-water nanofluids are synthesized using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) dispersant where each of the CNT concentration ranging from 0.01 to 0.1 wt% is tested with 0.25 to 3.00 wt% of PVA to optimize the dispersion and stability of nanofluids. The nanofluids are sonicated for 4 hours usi...
