Heat transfer characteristics of aluminium oxide based ethlyne glycol water nanofluids as a coolant for car radiator / Dr. Al Hassan Salami Tijani and Nur Aziemah Norazman

An automotive radiator acts as a cooling system for a car engine by dissipating excessive heat generated in the engine to the surrounding. Since the pump for the coolant and the fan extract obtain their power from the car engine, the car radiator with a low-pressure drop has the potential for lower...
