摘要

This study presents a comprehensive thermal analysis and experimental investigation of a novel ternary hybrid nanofluid (THNF) comprising MWCNT, CuO, and TiO₂. The research aims to enhance heat transfer performance by evaluating the thermal conductivity (TC) of the prepared nanofluid across a temperature range of 25–55 °C and volume fractions (VF) of 0.2% to 1.4%. Experimental results demonstrate a significant enhancement in thermal conductivity, which increases with both temperature and nanoparticle concentration. The maximum thermal conductivity enhancement (TCE) of 27% was observed at the highest temperature (55 °C) and SVF (1.4%), attributable to the synergistic effects of the hybrid nanoparticles and intensified Brownian motion. Furthermore, utilizing the response surface methodology (RSM), a highly accurate statistical model was developed to predict the TC of the THNF. The proposed correlation shows excellent agreement with the experimental data, as validated by a margin of deviation (MOD) in the range of − 0.44% to 0.46%. This confirms the models robustness and reliability for future engineering applications and design optimizations in thermal systems.
