From the several decades, research on hybrid nano fluids has been increased quickly and reports reveal that hybrid nano fluids are beneficial for heat transfer. The heat transfer enhancement of nanofluids is fundamentally subject on thermal conductivity of nanoparticles, particle volume concentrations and mass flow rates. Under consistent particle volume concentrations and flow rates, the heat transfer enhancement only depends on the thermal conductivity of the nanoparticles. The thermal conductivity of nanoparticles may be adjusted or changed by preparing hybrid (composite) nanoparticles. Hybrid nanoparticles are defined as nanoparticles composed by two or more different types of nano particles. They are nanometres sized particles. The fluids prepared with hybrid nanoparticles are known as hybrid nanofluids. The motivation for the preparation of hybrid nanofluids is to obtain further heat transfer enhancement with enlarged thermal conductivity of these nanofluids. One of the methods is the combination of two or more nanoparticles and it is known as hybrid/composite nanofluids which can give better performance of heat transfer. Thus, the present study focused on different nanofluid MgO, CuO, MgO+ CuO (50%+50%) water and EG base fluid. The MgO-CuO hybrid nanofluids are prepared using two-step method for different concentration. Experimental setup will be prepared to measure heat transfer rate with different types of Nanofluid. Experiment will be carried out with two Nano fluids MgO, CuO and their mixture.
