Abstract
The nanoparticles like Al2O3, Sic, CuO and TiO2 are the very commonly used in thermal systems heat exchangers. An experimental study on performance of automotive radiator using water and Copper oxide nano fluid was studied in the present work. The CuO nanoparticles were tested in automotive radiator by varying the percentage of nanoparticles mix with water with glycol. As a reference case, pure water is mixed with glycol at standred proprations 70:30,60:40 and 50:50 mixture is used in an automotive radiator and its performance was studied. CuO nanoparticles are mixed in water in 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.1% and the performance of nanofluid is tested. The performance comparison will be made between pure water and nanofluids tested in an automotive radiator. Finally the recommendations are made and conclusions are drawn based on the improved performance of nanofluids in an automotive radiator. The heat transfer enhancement value of water-glycol mixture with copper oxide nanofliud are better than when compare with pure water, water-glycol mixture. All parameters like thermal conductivity, friction factor and heat transfer rate better values obtained. Finally the recommendations are made and conclusions are drawn based on the improved performance of nanofluids in an automotive radiator.
