Abstract: Automobile is an important sector of engineering. As the vehicles demand increase it will become more necessary to make advancements in technologies. Petrol engine have various systems like cooling system, lubricating system, fuel supply system which affects the efficiency and performance of an engine directly or indirectly. Cooling system is an important part of engine. Basically radiators are used in engines for cooling purpose, in which water is used as coolant or heat transfer medium. Water has a very good heat carrying capacity but it has some limitations. It have been seen that some nano particles have excellent properties to work as coolant in automobile technologies. Use of nano fluids as a coolant will help to overcome from various limitations of base fluid and also enhance the performance of radiator. Various studies have been conducted on the performance of nano fluids as coolants in automobile radiators. This paper summaries the review about uses of nano particles or nano fluids as a coolant in automobile system.
Keywords: Radiator, Nano-fluid, I.C.engine, Thermal conductivity Cooling, Heat transfer.
