Abstract

Boiling heat transfer performance of nanofluid has been studied during the past few years. Some controversial results are reported in literature about the potential impact of nanofluids on heat transfer intensification. Whereas the mixtures of ethylene glycol and water are considered the most common water-based antifreeze solutions used in automotive cooling systems, the present study is an experimental investigation of boiling heat transfer of CuO/ethylene glycol–water (60/40) nanofluids. The results indicate that a considerable boiling heat transfer enhancement has been achieved by nanofluid and the enhancement increases with nanoparticles concentration and reaches 55% at a nanoparticles loading of 0.5%.
