The aim of the present study is to investigate the thermal fluid flow transport phenomenon of nanofluids in the heated horizontal circular tube. Consideration is given to the effects of volume fraction of the nanoparticle on the laminar heat transfer and thermal properties. Alumina (Al2O3) and oxide copper (CuO) are employed here as nanoparticles. It is found from the study that (1) the viscosity ratio of nanofluids increases in accordance with an increase of the volume fraction of the nanoparticles, (2) the nanofluids have substantially higher value of Nusselt number than the same liquids without nanoparticles and the Nusselt number of nanofluids increase with an increase of the Reynolds number, and (3) the dispersibility of particle in the nanofluid becomes worse slightly with an increase of the volume fraction of the nanoparticles.
