Radiator heat transfer enhancement using nanofluid

Abstract

This research article presents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of the heat transfer enhancement in a radiator using nanofluid. The study investigates the effect of varying the concentration of nanoparticles and the inlet velocity of the fluid on the heat transfer rate and pressure drop. The simulation results show that the use of nanofluids in radiators leads to a significant increase in heat transfer rate compared to traditional fluids. However, the pressure drop also increases with the concentration of nanoparticles, which can affect the overall efficiency of the radiator. The study provides valuable insights into the design and optimization of nanofluid-based radiators using CFD simulations.
