        abstract = {Using a novel coolant—a MgO/water nanofluid—this research intends to improve the thermal efficiency of a cross-flow automobile radiator. Due to their improved heat transfer capabilities, nanofluids have emerged as a possible alternative to water or ethylene glycol-based fluids, which are typically used in engine cooling systems. The specific heat capacity, density, thermal conductivity, and dynamic viscosity of a nanofluid of magnesium oxide and water are investigated in this study. A regulated flow rate ranging from 5 to 9 LPM was maintained throughout the trial. The findings showed that heat transfer performance was significantly improved, with an increase of 40% to 70% depending on the concentration of the nanofluid. The computational findings point to the possibility of using MgO/water nanofluid as an effective coolant in thermal management systems for automobiles.},
