Abstract: In this research, were studied the thermophysical property of Al2O3 NPs with a particle size of 30 nm
in diesel fuel nanofluid which was brought from Al-Rashid Oil company in Iraq for attention because of
emissions of pollutant from traditional fuels, fossil fuel reserves dropping, petroleum costs increment and
further severe release protocols. The weight fractions used were 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 1.5% and at diverse
compositions for the range temperatures from 303-353 K on the thermal conductivity, pH, viscosity, flash point
and fire point values of nano fluid were characterized. Experimental results showed that the thermal conductivity
of Al2O3 NPsis enhanced as much as 77 at 1% under 80°C. Flash point enhancement about 8%.
