“…water, oil, ethylene glycol) has attracted interest in the automotive field for a long time [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. As a matter of fact, early scientists tried to suspend millimeterand micrometer-sized particles with high thermal conductivity in traditional coolants to improve their thermal properties.…”

Engineered suspensions of nanosized particles (nanofluids) may be characterized by enhanced thermal properties. Due to the increasing need for ultrahigh performance cooling systems, nanofluids have been recently investigated as next-generation coolants for car radiators. However, the multiscale nature of nanofluids implies nontrivial relations between their design characteristics and the resulting thermo-physical properties, which are far from being fully understood. In this work, the role of fundamental heat and mass transfer mechanisms governing thermo-physical properties of nanofluids is reviewed, both from experimental and theoretical point of view. Particular focus is devoted to highlight the advantages of using nanofluids as coolants for automotive heat exchangers, and a number of design guidelines is reported for balancing thermal conductivity and viscosity enhancement in nanofluids. We hope this review may help further the translation of nanofluid technology from small-scale research laboratories to industrial application in the automotive sector.

“…The present experimental study, also shows the difference between the cooling characteristics of the production coolant, wich is a mixture of ethylene glycol and water by volume, and those of pure ethylene glycol coolant [6]. Specific heat capacity, viscosity and specific weight of a water and ethylene glycol solution vary significantly with the percent of ethylene glycol and the temperature of the fluid [7].…”

In recent years, automobile manufactures have been required to meet stringent fuel consumption specification. An important factor with regard to this problem is the operating temperature and its effect on functional parameters. In this paper, the effect of heat transfer on the various parameters such as inlet mixture temperature, compression ratio, exhaust gas, fuel consumption, lubrication oil of a spark ignition engine is studied. A number of studies have been reported which dealt with the thermal analysis of the structure of internal combustion engine. Because of the complexity of the problem, these analyses are approximate. Thus, to improve the accuracy of the results of the thermal analysis, we must work with experimental results prelevated from a 24 valve – 6 cylinder spark ignition engine. Included are comparisons between cooling characteristics of the water solutions with those of 100% ethylene glycol coolant.
