Heat Transfer Augmentation of Al2O3 Nanofluid in 60:40 Water to Ethylene Glycol Mixture

Convectional coolant plays an important part in removing excess heat generated by automotive component to avoid damage and failure of the system. Through recent studies, nanoparticles suspended in base fluid or known as nanofluid have positive effect heat transfer performance. This paper presents t...
