Abstract
The demand for high-performance engines has increased as a result of the automobile industry's constant technical improvement. The sustainability of the world requires improving the size and design of automotive radiators to increase their performance. One approach for boosting the cooling rate of the radiator is to employ fins. However, the conventional way of utilising fins to accelerate cooling and tiny channels has hit its limit. In this paper, an analytical study was carried out using water based Al2O3 + Cuo hybrid nanofluid along with ethylene glycol (EG) in a radiator to boost the rate of heat exchange. The concentrations of EG, nanoparticles of Al2O3 and Cuo in base fluid were 30%, 0.1% and 0.1% respectively. A cooling circuit was modelled in ANSYS (version 17) and investigated in the transient regime. The study revealed that the heat transfer rate improves due to the addition of hybrid nanoparticles compared to the base fluid.
