| Summary: | Energy management in a car radiator is important to ensure efficient operation of automobile engines. The cooling system of radiator traditionally use water and anti-freezing agent as the coolant fluid that passes through the engine block but they have some limitations due to the fact these medium exhibit relatively low thermal conductivity compared to nanofluid. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the thermo-physical properties of water MWCNT-Fe3O4 based hybrid nanofluid in car radiators and to study the effect of different operating parameter on the thermal characteristics of the coolant. A flattened tube was simulated in this study. |
