In the present study, the dynamic viscosity of alumina-engine oil nanofluid in different solid volume fractions and temperatures was experimentally investigated. The nanofluid samples were prepared in the solid volume fractions of 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, 1.5% and 2% under the temperature range of 5 to 65 degrees C. The measurements were carried out by CAP 2000 + Viscometer, supplied by Brookfield of the USA. Using the experimental data, new correlations for predicting the dynamic viscosity of alumina-engine oil at different temperatures were proposed. The experiment results at different shear rates showed that all nanofluid samples exhibit the Newtonian behavior. The results also revealed that the viscosity of the nanofluid increases with the solid volume fraction. Moreover, it has been found that with increasing temperature, the viscosity of nanofluids decreases, and it was more tangible at the lower temperatures. The comparison between experimental findings and theoretical models showed that these models failed to predict the correct values of the viscosity of the nanofluids at all solid volume fractions. The experimental data also indicated that the maximum viscosity enhancement of nanofluid was 132% compared with that of base fluid. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
