In this paper, the rheological behavior of nano-antifreeze consisting of 50% vol. water, 50% vol. ethylene glycol and different quantities of functionalized double walled carbon nanotubes has been investigated experimentally. Initially, nano-antifreeze samples were prepared with solid volume fractions of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1% using two-step method. Then, the dynamic viscosity of the nano-antifreeze samples was measured at different shear rates and temperatures. At this stage, the results showed that base fluid had the Newtonian behavior, while the behavior of all nano-antifreeze samples was non-Newtonian. Since the behavior of the samples was similar to power law model, it was attempted to find the constants of this model including consistency index and power law index. Therefore, using the measured viscosity and shear rates, consistency index and power law index were obtained by curve-fitting method. The obtained values showed that consistency index amplified with increasing volume fraction, while reduced with enhancing temperature. Besides, the obtained values for power law index were less than 1 for all samples which means shear thinning behavior. Lastly, new correlations were suggested to estimate the consistency index and power law index using curve-fitting.
