The objective of the current research is to prepare copper oxide water based nanofluid for heat transfer application. The present work reports synthesis of nanocrystalline copper oxide using surfactant assisted wet chemical method. The average crystallite size of the copper oxide nanoparticles was calculated using XRD as 14 (±2) nm. The copper oxide-water based nanofluid was prepared using ultrasonic sonication method for potential use as a coolant for heat transfer applications. The heat transfer characteristics (thermal conductivity, specific heat and viscosity) of copper oxide nanofluid were determined using experimental set up as designed in the laboratory. The enhancement of thermal conductivity was observed as 20 % more compared to the earlier reported values for 0.1% volume concentration. This is an achievement of the present work.
