“…The study showed a 31% increase in the heat transfer rate at a concentration of 0.12%. M'hamed et al [6] applied a nano-coolant fluid mix of MWCNT with water and EG at a 50-50% ratio on the Proton Kelisa 1000cc automobile engine. A volumetric concentration of 0.1 to 0.5% and a different flow rate with the laminar flow were suggested.…”

The effect of enhancing heat transfer using three nanofluids, Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes MWCNT, Copper oxide CuO, and aluminum oxide Al2O3, have been experimentally studied on the automotive radiator with a concentration of 1% vol and different flow rates (4-8) l/min, air velocity of 3 m/s and inlet temperatures range (60-80) °C. The results showed that the use of nanofluids improved the thermal performance compared to the base fluid. Using the (MWCNT-Water) achieved 41.7% of Nusselt number where as, copper oxide (CuO) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) have improved the Nussult number by 31.7 % and 12.3 % respectively. The Nusselt number showed an increase with the increase in the flow rate and the inlet temperature.

“…The highest Nusselt number enhancement was found to be about 55% at ϕ = 0.8% compared to EG/W. An experimental test rig has been recently designed by Beriache et al [17] to evaluate the heat transfer performance of a Perodua Kelisa 1000cc radiator system (Figure 6a) operating with nanofluids containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes dispersed into a 50:50 EG/W in the laminar flow regime. The results revealed that the thermal performance of the car radiator was improved by adding MWCNTs to the EG/W solution (Figure 6b).…”

“…Among these methods, nanofluids have proven to be an effective way to achieve that objective without increasing the size, cost, and complexity of thermal equipments too much. Ethylene-and propylene-glycol-based nanofluids have been then widely considered for their applications, mainly to remove heat in car radiators [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21], diesel electric generators [22], industrial heat exchangers [23], and electronic devices [24,25]. General reviews on nanofluids have been published so far in the literature focusing on the preparation and stability of nanofluids [26,27], on the synthesis, thermo-physical properties, and heat transfer mechanisms of nanofluids [28], or on their applications in heat exchangers [29].…”

Nanofluids are considered a promising way to improve the heat transfer capability of base fluids. Water is the most commonly-used heat transfer fluid. However, in refrigeration systems, it may be necessary to mix water with either ethylene- or propylene-glycol to lower its freezing point and prevent from ice formation. In the same way, for car radiators or industrial heat exchangers, the boiling point of water can be pushed up by mixing it with glycol-based fluids. The increasing awareness of energy saving and industrial energy efficiency improvement results in the growing interest in ethylene- or propylene-glycol-based nanofluids for applications in various thermal systems. The present paper proposes an extensive review of the most recent and relevant experimental and numerical works on the thermophysical properties and performances of ethylene- or propylene-glycol-based nanofluids. Research perspectives are also provided with the long-term objective that these nanofluids be more widely considered in real industrial applications.

“…In the present experimental study, 60 the main objective was to see the effect on the heat transfer coefficient of water/EG MWCNT nanocoolant in the region of laminar flow with a car engine and radiator system. Different volume fraction of nanoparticle and flow rates considered were 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5% and 2, 4, and 6 L/min, respectively.…”

Nanofluid has become popular with the advancement in nanotechnology. Nanofluid has comparatively better stability than the microfluid because here much smaller‐sized particles (nanometer size) are suspended in the base fluid. It has improved thermophysical properties and convective heat transfer coefficient than the base fluid alone. That is why researchers have implemented this novel heat transfer fluid in versatile fields. These are solar collectors, solar thermal energy storage, electronics cooling, cooling and heating, heat pipes, automobile radiator, refrigeration system, natural convection, quenching, and many other applications. These varied applications indicate that in imminent future nanofluid will play a major role in these fields. Though all these trials are at present at academic research level, however, with the advancement in nanotechnology, surface science, colloidal chemistry, and so forth this nanofluid will definitely play a major role in heat transfer in the coming days.
