Over past few decades, number analysis has been carried out by the researchers and academicians in the radiator for it’s efficiency. It is purely depend on the application of fluid. Conventional fluids such a water, ethylene glycol and sodium are normally used as heat transfer fluids in radiator various techniques are applied to improve the heat transfer the used of additives is a technique applied to increase the heat transfer performance of base fluids. Recently as an innovative material nanometer sized particle have been used in suspension of conventional heat transfer fluids. In this article, we have considered the problem of forced convention flow of fluid inside a normally heated tube that is submitted to a constant and uniform and heat flux at the wall. The heat transfer rates are analyzed for both base fluids. The nanofluids under same Reynolds number and uniform heat flux. This article deals with three base fluids are selectively water ethylene glycol and liquid sodium. Improve the heat transfer rate of the above said base fluids the nanoparticles aluminum, silver ,copper were chosen and also comparative work is done b/n the thermal conductivity of models.Keywords: Ethylene glycol, radiatorCite this ArticleKarthick Selvam P, Murali K, Pradeep Castro P.
