Analysis on Heat Recovery of an Engine Radiator using (CH2OH)2 Based Nanofluid Having TiO2 Nano Particles

Navneet Khare, Dr. Dinesh Kumar Kohli

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, Magnesium and Graphene nanoparticles in the shapes of platelet respectively, were added to the base fluids in 0.06 volume fractions. The combination of graphene nanofluid in ethylene glycol base fluid is shown best result. Radiator is basically used to provide optimum cooling to the engine components due to the reason are highly used in the modern automotive industry. In the present study a CFD based analysis using ANSYS Fluent software is performed. For the modelling requirements CATIA V5 Software is used. An analytical based study on Radiator shows that there can be new working fluid used for the radiator functioning. Further in the study results for temperature, pressure and velocity profile were calculated in the study.
