In the present work, CaFe2O4 nanoparticles have been synthesized using sol-gel method. The prepared nanoparticles have been characterized using X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). CaFe2O4 nanoparticles have been dispersed in the ethylene glycol using high power ultrasonicator to prepare CaFe2O4-ethylene glycol based nanofluids of different volume fraction (viz. 0.1 vol%, 0.2 vol%, 0.5 vol%, and 1.0 vol%). Particle size distribution of synthesized nanofluids has been investigated by acoustical particle sizer (APS-100). Frequency and concentration dependent ultrasonic attenuations in the nanofluids have been measured by APS-100. A comparative study of the results, obtained by XRD, TEM and APS, has been done. Various factors responsible for ultrasonic attenuation and their correlation have been made to understand the inter-particle and intra-particle interactions.
