The heat transfer abilities of fluids can be improved by adding small particles of sizes of the order of nanometers. Recently a lot of research has been done in evaluating the thermal conductivity of nanofluids using various nanoparticles. In our present work we address this issue by conducting a series of experiments to determine the effective thermal conductivity of alumina-nanofluids by varying the base fluid with water and antifreeze liquids like ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. Temperature oscillation method is used to find the thermal conductivity of the nanofluid. The results show the thermal conductivity enhancement of nanofluids depends on viscosity of the base fluid. Finally the results are validated with a recently proposed theoretical model.

The Temperature Oscillation Infra-Red Thermography (TOIRT) was used to measure convective heat transfer coefficients at the inner vertical wall of an agitated and baffled vessel. Two impellers were used: an axial six-blade impeller with pitched blades and the Rushton turbine. The TOIRT method represents an indirect method based on measuring the phase shift between the oscillating heat flux applied to one side of the heat transfer surface and the wall temperature response monitored by a contactless infra-red camera at the same side. On the basis of this phase shift, the TOIRT method can indirectly evaluate the heat transfer coefficient on the other side of the heat transfer surface. Two forms of experimental results are presented in this paper. The first one describes graphical dependencies of the local Nusselt number on the dimensionless distance from the vessel bottom for various Reynolds numbers. The second form describes the mean Nusselt number along the wall as a function of the Reynolds number.
