AB - In this work, an experimental campaign on different nanofluids and  microfluids, obtained by the dispersion of 3 different metal oxides (CuO,  ZnO and TiO2) with diathermic oil or deionized water has been carried out,  in order to extend phonon theory to liquids, as already done in a previous  work on Al2O3. Thermal conductivity of stable samples was evaluated by time.  The experimental results on thermal conductivity of stable micrometric and  nanometric particles suspensions in oil and water showed a further proof of  Mass Difference Scattering phenomenon.
