Abstract
In automobile industry uninterrupted increased the need of high performance, best economy, optimum design of engine. Radiator is used like a cooling component of engine, and mostly water is used as coolant. In liquid-cooled system, heat is detached via coolant mixing in the radiator. The coolant is flow through pumps and the heat is carried away via radiator. Optimization of design and size of radiator is necessary for the efficient cooling rate. The design optimization has limited due to certain reasons thus the efficiency can be improve by testing different coolents instead of water. Thus in this work a car radiator has been optimized having there thermal performance using different coolant. For the based fluid, a mixture of water and water with Al2O3 and CuO particles of concentration 0.3% were added to the base fluid and then evaluate the heat transfer characteristics of the fluid. This objective of the present paper is “to evaluate the performance of the heat transfer characteristics of water/anti-freezing based fluid as a coolant for car radiator”. For the based fluid, a mixture of water and water with Al2O3 and CuO particles of concentration 0.3% were added to the base fluid and then evaluate the heat transfer characteristics of the fluid.
