Heat transfer augmentation of a car radiator using nanofluids.

The car radiator heat transfer enhancement by using TiO and SiO nanoparticles dispersed in water as a base fluid was studied experimentally. The test rig is setup as a car radiator with tubes and container. The range of Reynolds number and volume fraction are (250-1,750) and (1.0-2.5 %) respectively. Results showed that the heat transfer increases with increasing of nanofluid volume fraction. The experimental data is agreed with other investigator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
