AbstractGrinding process is one important process in HDD manufacturing. This process is divide work piece or reshape and create the new surface. High cutting qualities such as precision, smooth roughness and low particle on surface are the future requirement. Heat transfer during grinding process is the priority to achieve these necessaries. Coolant is one of the components in grinding process which can help to cooling and lubricating between abrasive tool and work pieces during processing. Water base coolant is the one mainly use of grinding fluids for electronic industry. There are many ways to enhance high rate of heat transfer for grinding process. Zinc oxide nanoparticles adding is selected method due to it has high surface area that can support heat transports, anti-fungi property and simple to synthesis. Then the Zinc oxide nanofluids will be investigated to compare the heat transfer rate by determines the inlet and outlet temperature of hot and cold.
