Abstract
The study of thermodynamics in engine cooling systems is crucial for improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions. Recent advancements in nanotechnology have introduced nano-fluids as potential game-changers in heat transfer applications. This research investigates the thermodynamic properties and heat transfer enhancement of nano-fluids when applied in automotive engine cooling systems. Utilizing comprehensive numerical simulations, the study evaluates the thermal conductivity, viscosity, and overall heat transfer coefficient of various nano-fluid compositions under different operational conditions. Findings reveal that nano-fluids significantly enhance the heat transfer rate compared to traditional coolants, leading to better engine performance and fuel efficiency. The results also indicate optimal nano-particle concentration levels that maximize thermal performance without compromising fluid stability. Conclusively, this research provides a robust framework for integrating nano-fluids into existing cooling systems, promising considerable advancements in automotive thermodynamics and a potential reduction in global carbon footprints.
