Vehicle Engine Cooling System: Review Research

Abstract

This study reveals that nano-refrigerants can improve the overall performance of these systems, particularly when used as nanoparticles in conjunction with a base refrigerant. The results show that nano refrigerants outperform base liquids in warm conductivity, and the size of the nanoparticles affects this conductivity. The thickness of nano-refrigerants shows a vertical pattern as the volume of particles increases, while it decreases with temperature increases. Traditional models, such as the Hamilton-Crosser and Einstein models, fail to accurately predict the warm conductivity and consistency of nanoliquids when temperature is considered. Even a small amount of nanoparticles can significantly improve the base liquid’s conductivity. The use of nano-fluids results in an improved convective intensity transfer coefficient for all volume concentrations of nanoparticles compared to water under different working conditions. This study delves into the characterization of nanofluids for vehicle engine cooling systems, focusing on their thermal properties and heat transfer capabilities. Through an analysis of thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficients, viscosity, and nanoparticle size, the research aims to optimize the design and implementation of nanofluid-based cooling systems to enhance engine performance and fuel efficiency. By investigating the impact of different nanoparticles and concentrations on these properties, the study provides insights into the potential of nanofluids to improve cooling efficiency in automotive applications. The findings highlight the importance of understanding the relationship between nanoparticle characteristics and thermal properties for the effective utilization of nanofluids in vehicle cooling systems. By synthesizing findings from previous studies, this review aims to provide insights into the potential benefits of utilizing nanofluids in enhancing cooling efficiency and overall engine performance in automotive systems. The analysis underscores the importance of considering nanoparticle characteristics in optimizing nanofluid formulations for effective heat transfer in vehicle cooling systems.
