A pioneering idea for increasing the thermal performance of heat transfer fluids was to use ultrafine solid
particles suspended in the base fluid. Nanofluids, synthesized by mixing solid nanometer sized particles
at low concentrations with the base fluid, were used as a new heat transfer fluid and developed a remarkable
effect on the thermophysical properties and heat transfer coefficient. For any nanofluid to be usable
in heat transfer applications, the main concern is its long-term stability. The aim of this research is to
investigate the effect of using four different surfactants (sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS),
sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and gum Arabic (GA)), each
with three different
