Increasing the Efficiency of Automobile by Using Nanocolant

Ashok Rinwa

Abstract


In the developing world there is the demand of efficiency and for the better efficiency of automobile, cooling system play an important role. From the birth of an automobile, we are using air or water for cooling and have many demerits. Now a day we are adding a host component i.e. nanofluids which have higher thermal conductivity. Addition of nanofluid the heat transfer capacity increase by 50–65%. The research is to improve the thermal conductivity of nanofluid is mostly focused. These results, the improvement in thermal conductivity, increase in heat transfer coefficient, increase in surface volume ratio etc. presented in this paper, application of nanofluids as engine radiator cooling, challenges and future scopes of nanofluids have been reviewed.
