Abstract:
In this research, an experimental study is conducted to investigate the effect of simultaneous use of tube insert and nanofluid on the thermal performance of the automotive cooling system (radiator). Al۲O۳-water based nanofluid is used and the flow regime is laminar (Reynolds ۱۰۰۰-۱۸۰۰). For this study, an experimental automotive cooling system is designed and built. Thermal performance of Al۲O۳-water nanofluid at three concentrations of ۰.۱, ۰.۲ and ۰.۴% weight fraction of Al۲O۳-water nanofluid compared to water is monitored by variations of flow rate. In this research, a tube insert with a steel wire rod and a sine profile inside the radiator tube is used as a turbulent-maker. The results show that the sole use of nanofluid, without a tube insert inside the radiator, increases the heat transfer coefficient by about ۱۱%, and the use of a tube insert together with distilled water increases heat transfer coefficient by about ۳۵%. Finally, the use of tube insert together with Al۲O۳-water based nanofluid at their best mass concentration increases heat transfer coefficient by about ۵۶%.
