Performance Analysis for Heat Transfer Enhancement of an Automobile Radiator using Nano-Fluids

Abstract

The present work focus on the performance of automobile radiator for heat transfer enhancement using with nanofluids such as CuO built with H2O. It is observed that during the proper mixing of graphene with EG (ethylene glycol), the value of lower temperature and velocity contour is achieved in automobile engine radiator tube is 351.4 Kelvin 2.303ms-1 respectively and results shows that, Graphene nano fluid with base fluid ethylene glycol and particle shape platelet gives best results in comparisons to Ag, MgO and CuO. Further, during the proper mixing of MgO with EG, the value of lower temperature and velocity contour is achieved in automobile engine radiator tube is 351.9 Kelvin 2.192ms-1 respectively.
