Abstract

Abstract The performance of an internal combustion engine can be evaluated in terms of fuel efficiency and cost savings by addition of nano sized ferrofluid into cooling water system at varying percentage and magnetizing it with varying magnetic intensity. The experiment was undertaken in Maruti 800 cc motor car running at a speed of 40 km/h whose cooling water capacity is three liters. The test was undertaken with water alone as cooling media, water with varying percentage of ferro particles and water with varying concentration of ferro particles and magnetic intensity. The optimum distance travelled and fuel efficiency is calculated and compared with all three combinations. The result showed a difference of 1.388 km/l at optimum composition. For validation, statistical tool such as ANOVA and for regression analysis & evaluation, software packages such as MINITAB 18 and MATLAB 16a are used.
