Analysis on Heat Recovery of an Engine Radiator using (CH2OH)2 Based Nanofluid Having TiO2 Nano Particles
Abstract: Automobile engine produces high amount of heat in the process of combustion. This internal heat rises the temperature of engine to very high level and can damage or seize the engine parts. Hence for the safety of engine components, it needs to run at much lower temperature, which is called engine working temperature. Ethylene glycol based nanofluids are used as the working fluids for the radiator and Titanium Dioxide, Silver, …
