Abstract:
Radiator plays vital role in engine cooling. It is used to cool the engine. Conventionally, Water and ethylene glycol are used as a coolant, water and ethylene have low thermal conductivity. Heat transfer in car radiator can be improved by either increasing heat transfer area or by increasing temperature difference which can be achieved by decreasing temperature of fluid or by improving heat transfer coefficient of fluid which can be improved by two methods active and passive. Nanoparticles are generally metal, metal oxide or non-metallic particles. The present paper summarizes the current research in Nano fluid studies on convective heat transfer performance, effect of fluid temperature, mass flow rate of fluid, volume concentration of nanoparticles, particle size, air velocity etc., In this paper, a comprehensive literature on the thermal behaviour of nano fluids have been compiled and reviewed. Latest up to date literatures in terms of PhD and master thesis, Journal articles, conference proceedings have been reviewed. This paper aims to review some of these researches and compare the results obtained in previous studies.
