Experimental study of heat transfer enhancement using water/ethylene glycol based nanofluids as a new coolant for car radiators

CFD assessment of the effect of nanoparticles on the heat transfer properties of acetone/ZnBr2 solution

“…. This technique to find the viscosity of the cloud of nanoparticles in the fluid as used by [35], however [27,28] are used a different strategy to find the viscosity of the nanoparticles using trial and error; the viscosity of the nanoparticles was varied until the pressure drop and Nusselt number of the very dilute nanofluid, pure ethylene glycol at Re=2440, and pure water at Re=9350, were equal. We confirm that the methods are equivalent in effect.…”

“…Delavari and Hashemabadi [27] presented a CFD model of the heat transfer of the Al2O3/H2O and Al2O3/EG nanofluid in the same situation, testing the validity of the single phase and two phase models against experimental results of Peyghambarzadeh et. al [28] concluding that only the two phase model gives good representation of the physical system. They found the Nusselt Number increased by a factor of two by adding 1% Al2O3 to water.…”

“…al [28] experimentally studied heat transfer in a car radiator using H2O/EG mixed with different amounts of aluminium oxide Al2O3 nanoparticles. They found that the nanofluid enhanced the heat transfer 40% more than the base fluid.…”

“…al [28] is numerically repeated to prove the method works in our context. We then apply the same method with our alternative nano-fluid to evaluate its potential for use in a vapour absorption cycle.…”

Dielectric Properties of Boron Nitride-Ethylene Glycol (BN-EG) Nanofluids

“…Similar studies in this field were conducted by other researchers. [16][17][18][19] In particular, Kasaeian et al, 20 Kim et al, 21 Leong et al, 22 Mahian et al, 23 and Sarsam et al 24 presented results of very extensive work on the use of nanofluids in solar energy systems. Other potential applications for nanofluids include friction reduction, [25][26][27] magnetic sealing, [28][29][30][31] biomedical applications, 32,33 electronic cooling, [34][35][36] and many others.…”
