文摘

•: Various ethylene glycol aqueous solutions were used as base fluid in this study.
•: Thermal conductivity of nanofluid decreases with increasing the concentration of EG in base fluid and that increases with increasing the temperature.
•: Viscosity of nanofluid increases with increasing the concentration of EG but that decreases with the increase of temperature.
•: Natural convection characteristics of ZnO nanofluids were investigated.
