Abstract
One of the controversial research issues on nanofluids is the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity of nanofluids, that is, whether it will increase or decrease according to the temperature rise. To evaluate precisely the thermal conductivity behavior of nanofluids, a systematic way of validation experiments for the measuring instrument has been highly recommended. In this paper, procedure of the validation test for transient hot-wire method using the temperature dependence of the base fluids was explained comprehensively and the comparison of the temperature dependence of water-$Al_2O_3$ nanofluids is made between the present work and that of Das et al.
