A nanofluid composed of a base fluid and a solid nanocomposite particle, where the solid nanocomposite particle consists of a carbon nanotube and a metal oxide nanoparticle selected from the group consisting of Fe.sub.2O.sub.3, Al.sub.2O.sub.3, and CuO. The metal oxide nanoparticle is affixed inside of or to the outer surface of the carbon nanotube, and the solid nanocomposite particle is homogeneously dispersed in the base fluid. The heat transfer and specific heat capacity properties of the nanofluid are measured using differential scanning calorimetry and heat exchanger experiments with different nanocomposite concentrations and different metal oxide percent loadings.

The present invention relates to formulated refrigerant systems of 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (R-1233zd) that are sufficiently thermally and chemically stable such that they can be effectively used sans additional stabilizers. The formulations of the present invention are particularly useful compositions for refrigeration, heat transfer and foam blowing.

The invention discloses an energy-saving and environment-friendly anti-freezing solution for a water system engine, which includes calcium chloride anti-freezing solution and alcohol-type anti-freezing solution. N-methyl pyrrolidone and allyl glycidyl ether are added into the calcium chloride anti-freezing solution and the alcohol-type anti-freezing solution. With the energy-saving and environment-friendly anti-freezing solution for the water system engine, when the water system engine gets into the best operating state, rapid cooling down and heat dissipation can be achieved. When the temperature is low, rapid heating-up can be achieved. Thus, the temperature of the engine is kept in constant and stable state, so that the engine can perform the combustion sufficiently to convert the thermal energy into power. The purposes of saving oil, improving power, reducing emission, saving energy, and protecting the environment are actually achieved.
