The application of spinel ferrite decorated graphene hybrids in heat transfer has been limited mostly due to their poor stability in water. This study reports a straightforward strategy to synthesis a cobalt ferrite/reduced graphene oxide (CoFe₂O₄/rGO) nanocomposite with high water dispersibility characteristics through the treatment of synthesized hybrid material with Gallic acid (GA) as a green agent at room temperature. A π-π interaction between graphene and the aromatic ring of GA results in a suspension with high stability. The structure of the nanocomposite was investigated in detail by FTIR, XRD, TGA, VSM, Raman spectroscopy, FESEM, and TEM. Also, UV–vis spectroscopy is used to examine the stability of the stability of the CoFe₂O₄/rGO in the base fluid. The highly stable aqueous nanofluids were subsequently prepared from the products. Thermo-physical analyses of nanofluids revealed that the thermal conductivity ratio of ferrofluid prepared by the obtained CoFe₂O₄/rGO with 0.9 wt.% load of nanoparticles at 60 °C is rose to 1.46. Besides, the convective heat transfer in laminar flow regime conditions which passes a circular tube under uniform heat flux was examined. The nanofluid with the highest load of nanoparticles (0.9 wt.%) shown the maximum enhancement in Nusselt number of 27.8 % at Reynolds number of 1713.
