Abstract: An organogel including a base fluid, cetyl alcohol, and a gelling agent provided in an amount to cause the fluid to change from a liquid state to a gelled state at temperatures below at least 25° C. A nanofluid including an organogel and a nanoparticle component which permits the nanofluid to change from a liquid state to a gelled state at temperatures below at least 25° C., the gelled state helping to maintain the nanoparticle component suspended throughout the base fluid; and a method for preparing a gelled nanofluid.
