Cooling is
one of the most important challenges facing engines performance. Due to limited
space at the front of the engine, the size of the radiator is restricted and
cannot be essentially increased. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the
heat transfer capabilities of working fluids. With the advancement of
nanotechnology, the new generation of heat transfer fluids called, nanofluids
have been developed and these fluids offer higher heat transfer properties
compared to that of conventional automotive engine coolants. Nanofluids seem to
be potential replacement of conventional coolants in engine cooling system.
Recently there have been considerable research findings highlighting superior
heat transfer performances of nanofluids about 15-40% of heat transfer
enhancement can be achieved by using various types of nanofluids. With these
superior characteristics, the size and weight of an automotive car radiator can
be reduced without affecting its heat transfer performance.
