Hybrid nanofluids (HNFs) are potential fluids that have higher thermophysical properties than conventional nanofluids of heat transfer and viscosity. HNF is a new generation of nanofluid that is produced by dispersing two or more types of dissimilar nanoparticles (NPs) in the base fluid. In this study, the rheological behavior of MWCNT (25%)-MgO (75%)/SAE40 HNF was investigated experimentally, statistically and numerically.

This paper aims to describe the rheological behavior of hybrid nanofluid based on temperature, shear rate ([Formula: see text] and volume fraction of nanoparticles ([Formula: see text]) to present an experimental correlation model. Flowmetric methods confirm the non-Newtonian behavior of the hybrid nanofluid.

Experimental results show that viscosity enhancement decreases significantly at a concentration of 0.0625% to -9.

The adsorption percentage of radical is calculated by measuring the maximum adsorption intensity of the ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectrum of TEMPO in the presence and the absence of AlO nanoparticles. The morphology of AlO nanoparticles before and after adsorption of TEMPO is studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy.
