چکیده انگلیسی
In this paper, the performance of ethylene glycol and water based TiO2 nanofluids as an automobile radiator coolant is determined experimentally. Forced convective heat transfer coefficient of TiO2 nanofluids has been measured and compared with the data of base fluid in an automobile radiator. Nanofluids were prepared taking 40% ethylene glycol and 60% water with volume concentrations of 0.1%, 0.3% and 0.5% of TiO2 nano powder. All the experiments were conducted in the range of Reynolds numbers from 4000 to 15,000. In all the experiments the nanofluids made to flow through the radiator tubes with elliptical cross section and airflows with constant speed in the crosswise direction in between the tubes of a tube bundle. Results demonstrate that increasing the fluid circulation rate can improve the heat transfer performance while the fluid inlet temperature to the radiator has little or no effect. Nanofluids investigated in the present work with low concentrations enhanced the heat transfer rate up to 37% in comparison with base fluid. The results of the investigation are presented graphically in terms of non-dimensional heat transfer coefficient as a function of volume concentration, temperature and flow rate.
