Carbon nanofibers (CNF) is one of potential nanoparticles that possess superior thermal conductivity. In this study, nanofluids with suspension of CNF in deionized water (DI water) and ethylene glycol (EG) are prepare. Thermal conductivity (TC) of the nanofluids are measured at 6°C, 25°C and 40°C using KD2 Pro Thermal Properties Analyser. The results show that, TC increases with increasing of temperature and CNF loading. Best TC is recorded by 36.7 % enhancement at 40 °C for EG based fluid with 0.9 wt% CNF loading. Meanwhile, for DI water based fluid, best TC enhancement (39.6 %) can be achieved with CNF loading of 0.7 wt% at 40°C. Overall, both based fluid show a promising enhancement in thermal conductivity. However, DI water based fluid show higher TC in comparison to EG based fluid due to the higher TC in standard DI water itself.
