AUTOMOBILE RADIATOR

ABSTRACT
During the design and development of vehicle it was a greater challenge
to prevent the engine & engine components from excess heat generated
inside the engine cylinder. Thus, a cooling system is necessary to
prevent failure of the engine from melting and damages. The cooling
system of an automobile plays an important role in vehicle’s
performance. Currently all automobile industries are using aluminium
based Radiator. The Conventional radiator is partial heat dissipation and
does not meet the requirement at high engine output. Due to limited
space at the front of the engine, the radiator size is restricted and cannot
be principally increased, so that, we can increase the heat transfer
coefficient from the current radiator with nanotechnology integrated fin
material. This study attempts to investigate, convective heat transfer
coefficient of automobile radiator using different fin material. Use
Nanotechnology integrated fin material instead of aluminium fins on the
current radiator design, the average percentage increase of convective
heat transfer is more than 10% that of the conventional radiator.
