2 Experimental Investigation of Convective Heat Transfer Augmentation Using Zno-Proplyene Glycol Nanofluids In A Automobile Radiator 1. INTRODUCTION The increased demand for high efficient engines in the field of automobiles pushing its limits for the development of new technologies not only in the design of the engines but for the better fuel economy and reduced emissions to reduce the global warming and its effects. design and optimization of the radiators has been changed its direction for the search of high efficient working fluids for increasing rate of heat transfer the coolants like water,engine oil,ethylene glycol having poor thermal properties. the orthodox way of using these fluids has changed to addition of nano sized metallic oxide powder in the coolants has shown the augmentation of thermal conductivity with the dissemination of nano sized particles in the conventional coolants. These nanofluids have the characteristics of high thermal conductivities than the conventional coolants.and these nano sized particles have greater surface area per weight than the larger particles because of the improved thermal properties these nanofluids can be use in the various applications like bio-engineering, manufacturing and microelectronics etc.generally ethylene glycol with water is used as the coolants automobile radiators but these fluids exhibit poor thermal properties. to extract the heat from the engine walls the heat exchanger device used in the automobiles are named as radiator which is a part of engine cooling system.due to the addition if the nano sized metallic oxide powders in the conventional coolants not only augments the rate of heat transfer but also in turn increases the fuel economy. Hafiz Muhammad Ali et al [1] experimentally investigated the ZNO-water nanofluids on the car radiator and found that nanofluids shown 46% heat transfer enhancement than the base fluid at 0.2% volume concentration. However this experimentation showed that heat transfer rates are weakly dependent on fluid inlet temperature an increase in fluid temperature from 45 0 C to 55 0 C, shows 4% increase in heat transfer rate. A.L. Subramaniyan et al [2] found the variation of the thermal conductivity of the nanofluids to the thermal conductivity of the base fluid ratio with volume fraction of iron and copper particles with EG, PG and water as the base fluids. PG based nanofluids showed the maximum value of Keff/Kf and % increase in Keff/Kf of around 80-90% at 0.8% volume fraction.in all cases the results of Maxwell relations found equal with the Hamilton-grosser n=3 value. In all other cases Keff/Kf value for Hamilton - grosser n=6 is greater than the n=3 value because of larger surface area of the cylindrical nanoparticles than the spherical nanoparticles. Ahmad Azari [3] Thermal conductivity of nanofluids increase with increase in the concentration of the nanoparticles and decrease with increase in the diameter of the nanoparticles. The model predictions are found to be good agreement with the experimental data. S.M. Peyghambarzadeh et al [4] reported that the nanofluids are prepared in different Al2O3 concentrations i.e.,0.1,0.3,0.5,0.7 and 1vol% and at different flow rates of 2,3,5, and 6 lpm and different inlet temperatures are applied for each concentration inlet temperature include 34,45 and 50 0 C for the water based nanofluids and 45,50,65 0 C for EG based nanofluids Nusselt number for the EG based nanofluids shown the better values than the water based fluids and by addition of only 1% of the Al2O3 nanoparticles have shown 40% increase in the Nusselt number.the increase in the inlet temperature of water based nanofluids from 35 0 C to 50 0 C enhanced the Nusselt number up to 16%and for EG based nanofluids it is 7%.S.M. Peyghambarzadeh et al [5] experimental study is carried out by preparing the nanofluids of CuO and Fe2O3 into the water at three different nanoparticle concentrations i.e. 0.15, 0.4 and 0.65 vol.% at different liquid flow rates of 0.05, 0.08, 0.11, and 0.14 l/s per each flat tube. Different inlet temperatures have been applied for each concentration. The inlet temperatures include 50, 65, and 80 0 C for both water based nanofluids. The results clearly state that increasing the nanoparticle concentration enhances the heat transfer rate. This effect magnifies itself for the case of Fe2O3/water nanofluids. Ultimately, at the concentration of 0.65 vol. %, the heat transfer enhancement of about 9% is obtained for Fe2O3 /water nanofluids in comparison with pure water. Overall heat transfer coefficient enhances with editor@iaeme.com

3 P. Kumar Sai Tejes and Dr. Y. Appalanaidu increasing the liquid flow rate and the air flow rate. Increasing the concentration of nanoparticles enhances the overall heat transfer coefficient especially for Fe2O3/water nanofluids. Ajay Tripathi et al [6] conducted the experiment on Zinc based nanofluids (ZnFe2O4)with ethylene glycol and water (50:50).and observed that Heat transfer rate is increased with increase in volume concentration of nanoparticles (ranging from 0% to 1.5%). About 78% heat transfer enhancement was achieved with addition of 1% ZnFe2O4 particles at 84.4x103 air Reynolds number and constant mass flow rate (0.03 [Kg/s]). Thermal performance of a radiator using nanofluid or mixture ethylene glycol water (50% Volume concentrations) coolant is increased with air Reynolds Number. About 60 % increment in the total heat transfer and overall heat transfer coefficient based on the air side at constant mass flow rate (0.09 [Kg/s]) and variable air Reynolds number ( x103). Overall heat transfer also increases with increase in mass flow rate of mixture.devireddy Sandhya et al [7] prepared the nanofluid by taking 40% ethylene glycol and 60% water with volume concentrations of 0.1%, 0.3% and 0.5% of TiO2 nanopowder. All the experiments were conducted in the range of Reynolds numbers from 4000 to 15,000. the Nusselt number increases with increase of particle concentration and Reynolds number. The enhancement of 34.12% was obtained for 0.5% volume concentration of TiO2 nanofluid compared with the base fluid. At low volume concentration of 0.1%, the enhancement is 17.77%. Hrishikesh E. Patel et al [8] measured the thermal conductivity of oxide and metallic nanofluids with variation in base fluid,particle size and volume fraction by transient hot wire method and macro particle suspensions found that an effect of particle size and suspension temperature is observed for thermal conductivity and metallic nanofluids are found to give best results than those of oxide nanofluids M. Chandrasekar et al [9] reported that the viscosity increase is considerably higher than the increase in thermal conductivity. Both the thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluids increase with the nanoparticle volume concentration Mohammad Hemmat Esfe et al [10] experimentally investigated the behavior of Magnesium Oxide water nanofluid in a circular pipe, where the volume fraction of nanoparticles in the base fluid is less than 1% (low concentration). Pure water and nanofluid with particle volume fraction of %, 0.125%, 0.25%, 0.5% and 1% are used as working fluid and found that the MgO nanoparticles in the base fluid enhanced heat transfer capability and reported that increases in the nanoparticle concentration increases the thermal conductivity and viscosity.increase in viscosity leads to the increase in the boundary layer thickness which decreases the convective heat transfer. Huaqing Xie et al [11] investigated the heat transfer enhancement in a circular copper tube with constant wall temperature with nanofluids as coolants containing Al2O3, ZnO, TiO2, and MgO nanoparticles with a mixture of 55% vol. distilled water and 45 vol. % as a base fluid and it was found that the heat transfer capability of nanofluids is dependent on volume fraction, average size, species of the suspended nanoparticles and the flow conditions. nanofluids exhibited superior enhancements of heat transfer coefficient, with the highest enhancement up to 252% at a Reynolds number of 1000 for MgO nanofluid. K.Y. Leong et al [12] reported that heat transfer augmentation is observed by 7.8% for ethylene glycol copper based nanofluids and 2% for copper based water nanofluids, 4.53% heat transfer enhancement in laminar flow was recorded in a shell tube heat recovery exchanger. Ho-Young KWak et al [13] conducted the experiments with Al2O3 nanofluid of volumetric concentrations 0.6%, 1.2% and 1.8%.and found that the rate of heat transfer is increased by 32% at 1.8% volume concentration. Adnan M. Hussein et al [14] reported the increase in heat transfer using TiO2 and SiO2 nanopowders with water in a car radiator with varying volume flow rate ranging from 2 8 LPM inlet temperatures C and nanoparticle concentration varying from 1-2% experimental results were found to be good and reported the heat transfer enhancement as 4%.S.M. Peyghambarzadeh et al [15] conducted experiments on the car radiator with CuO/water nanofluids tested under laminar flow regime volumetric concentration is varied from the 0-0.4% and inlet temperatures are varied from 50 0 C to 80 0 C editor@iaeme.com

4 Experimental Investigation of Convective Heat Transfer Augmentation Using Zno-Proplyene Glycol Nanofluids In A Automobile Radiator Overall heat transfer coefficient is increased by 8% at 0.4% volume concentration.madhusree Kole et al [16] prepared the Surfactant free stable ZnO-EG nanofluids by prolonged sonication by the addition of 3.75% volume fraction of ZnO heat transfer is enhanced by 40% at room temperature.loading of ZnO nanoparticles by 1.6% volume fraction enhances the pool boiling heat transfer by 22%.Sina N. Shoghl and M. bahrami [17] prepared the CuO and ZnO waterbased nanofluids by using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as surfactant and found that Addition of SDS to CuO nanofluid improved the boiling performance. A maximum heat transfer coefficient was observed by addition of SDS to 0.01wt%CuO nanofluid at 0.02 wt% SDS. Sebastian Ferrouillat et al [18] conducted experiments on water-based SiO2 and ZnO nanofluids flowing inside a horizontal tube. Pressure drop and heat transfer coefficients have been measured at two different inlet temperatures (20 0 C, 50 0 C) Reynolds number ranging from for sio2 nanofluids of different shaped particles showed the 4% enhancement in the Nusselt number and for Zno-nanofluids with polygonal nanoparticles and rod-like nanoparticles showed 8% and 3% enhancement in the Nusselt number.the above literature review explains the effect of nanofluids in heat transfer enhancement in this investigation Zno-proplyene glycol nanofluids are prepared in three different volumetric concentrations(i.e. 0.15%, 0.25% and 0.4%) to find the heat transfer enhancement for car radiator. 2. PREPARATION OF ZNO NANOFLUIDS Preparation of nanofluids is one of the key tasks for enhancing the heat transfer by using nanofluids in many applications.particle agglomeration and particles dispersion in base fluid are two key factors to look upon for preparing a stable nanofluid, particle agglomeration leads to increase in particle size and particles should be well dispersed so that there will be no settlement in the base fluid and generally there are two methods for preparation of one step method and two step method The Zno (Zinc oxide) nanoparticles used in this study were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich having 50nm nearly spherical particles. The two step method is used for preparing the nanofluid.the base fluid used in this experiment is water-proplyene glycol mixture (60:40). Firstly, the nanoparticles are dissolved in the base fluid and of 20litres and constantly stirred for 45 min and for eliminating the agglomeration and for the proper dispersion of the nanoparticles the fluid is sonicated for 2h.the nanofluids are prepared in three different concentrations (i.e. 0.15%, 0.25% and 0.4%) the amount of particles required for each concentration is calculated by the relation = 100 (1) 3. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP AND METHODOLOGY The experimental test rig for the investigation is shown in Fig.1 The experimental setup consists of storage tank, heaters, a centrifugal pump, flow controller, flow meter, heat exchanger (radiator), fan, thermocouples, and temperature indicator. The capacity of the storage tank of coolant is 20 liters. The pump takes the fluid from the tank continuously at constant flow rate, can be regulated by globe valve. The volume of circulating fluid is constant for all the experiments. The piping of the test section is perfectly insulated by asbestos rope. A flow meter which has a precision of 0.10 lpm is used to regulate the flow of working fluid. The working fluid is heated by heaters of total capacity is 6kw, each 2kw 230v 50Hz were fixed in the storage tank in this experiment. Four thermocouples of k-type were used, two were used to measure the fluid inlet and outlet temperatures of the radiator and other two were taken to measure the wall temperatures at the middle of the radiator editor@iaeme.com

Appalanaidu Figure 1 Schematic diagram of experimental set up The radiator is made up of aluminum with 29 vertical tubes, the dimensions of each tube in radiator are 350mm height, 20mm length and 3mm width and distance between the tubes is filled with fins. The cooling of radiator is achieved by forced draft fan ( rpm). Since the thickness of the radiator tube is very small and high thermal conductivity of aluminum tube, one can equate the inside temperature of tube to outer surface temperature. The measured temperatures will be displayed on the data acquisition system. All the equipment used in this experimentation were calibrated by the manufacturers. The coolants is allowed to flow through radiator with the flow rates of 6, 9, 12,16 lpm and at the temperatures from 50 0 C to 80 0 C. Figure 2 Experimental set up editor@iaeme.com

6 Experimental Investigation of Convective Heat Transfer Augmentation Using Zno-Proplyene Glycol Nanofluids In A Automobile Radiator 4. DATA REDUCTION we assume that the dispersion of nanoparticles is perfect in the base fluid i.e. the particle concentration is same throughout the system.there are some classical formulas usually used for the two phase fluids by which we can evaluate the physical properties of the nanofluid. the physical properties like density, viscosity, thermal conductivity and specific heat can be well predicted using these relations. The following correlations were used in this investigation to calculate the physical properties. ρ = ρ +1 ρ (2) C = 1! " #C + " #C (3) Where $ %& and $ +& are the densities of the base and nanofluids, respectively, ρ is the density of practical and Ø is the volume concentration, C and C are the specific heats of base fluid and nanofluid and -. is the specific heat of particle 4.1. Thermal conductivity of ZnO nanofluid Thermal conductivity is one of the important parameter which has a impact on the heat transfer enhancement.the effective thermal conductivity of nanofluid is measured by KD2 PRO thermal property meter.which is done by probe (Read time- 60 Seconds).the values of k for nanofluid and base fluid are measured at different temperatures. To predict the Thermal conductivity of nanofluids is calculated using the following equation given by Hamilton and Crosser k = k +z 1k z 11k k 2 k 4 k +z 1k 1k k 2 in the above equations ϕ, p, µ, ƥ refer to the volumetric concentration, particle, viscosity and density subscripts bf and nf refer to the base fluid and nanofluid respectively. z is the empirical shape factor as the nanoparticles used in this investigation are nearly spherical z is taken as 3.cp is the specific heat. Figure 3 Comparison of thermal conductivities with temperatures at 0.4% volume fraction. Fig. 3 represents the comparison between the ratio of thermal conductivity of nanofluid to the base fluid and the radiator inlet temperatures.from the literature thermal conductivity of nanofluid found to be increasing with increase in temperature and nanoparticle volume concentration. in the above graph two trends depicts the measured k value of 0.4% nanofluid editor@iaeme.com

7 P. Kumar Sai Tejes and Dr. Y. Appalanaidu and theoretical values of k obtained from Hamilton-crosser model.the measured values are much higher than the prediction. Probably because these classical models do not account for the parameters like particle size, Brownian motion and nanolayering.which are important to consider in nanofluids Viscosity of nanofluid The viscosity of the nanofluid is measured by using the rotary viscometer (BROOKFIELD).the reading were taken at different concentrations and temperatures of nanofluid. The viscosity of the nanofluid increases with increase in the particle concentration and decreases with the increase in temperature. Is observed from the measurements and the literature as well. Figure 4 Comparison of viscosity with temperatures at different volume concentration Fig.4 represents the comparison between the viscosity and the fluid inlet temperatures of the radiator. Temperature is an important parameter to consider for the viscosity of nanofluids. The viscosity of the nanofluids decreased with increased in temperature. The graph depicts that the nanofluid of highest concentration i.e., 0.4% at lowest temperature shows highest value of viscosity and vice versa. To predict the viscosity of nanofluids is calculated using the following equation given by Pak and Cho. μ = μ Where μ and μ are the viscosity of nanofluid and base fluid and is the volume concentration. According to the Newton law of cooling Q = ha T = hat T = 6 Heat transfer rate can be calculated by Q = ṁc T ABC 7 Where Q is the heat transfer rate, ṁ is the mass flow rate, C is the specific heat and and T ABC are the inlet and outlet temperatures. Heat transfer coefficient is determined by the relation h = ṁc T ABC AT T = editor@iaeme.com

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS 5.1 Validation: For any experimental investigation there is a need to validate the results and check for reliability the experimental apparatus. This can be done by comparing the experimental and theoretical Nusselt number over the range of the Reynolds Number for base fluid. Nusselt number is calculated by the relation Nu = hd k 9 Where h is the convective heat transfer coefficient, D is the hydraulic diameter of the tubes and k is the thermal conductivity of the fluid Theoretical Nusselt number can be calculated from empirical correlation given by Dittus- Boelter. Nu = Re M.N Pr M.Q 10 Where Nu is the Nusselt number, Re is the Reynolds number and Pr is the Prandtl number from the correlation. Pr = RS T (11) Where µ is the viscosity, Cp is the specific heat and k is the thermal conductivity of the fluid. Figure 5 Comparison of empirical correlation with the experimental values for Nusselt number. Fig. 5. Represents the comparison between the experimental data and the theoretical nusselt number correlation for base fluid i.e. water proplyene glycol mixture (60:40). it can be clearly observed that the experimental results shown good agreement with Dittus-Boelter empirical correlation.for all the different water inlet temperatures from 50 0 C to 80 0 C in radiator the maximum error is found to be 7.5%.the experimentation is carried out for three times to check repeatability and found that outcome is same at each time editor@iaeme.com

Fig. 6 Represents the values of heat transfer rates at different flow rates ranging from 6 to 16 lpm of base fluid and Zno nanofluids of three different concentrations (0.15%,0.25%and 0.4%) the effect of temperature on the heat transfer enhancement is also considered for this study so the inlet fluid temperatures for radiator are varied from 50 0 C to 80 0 C.The heat transfer values of base fluid is taken as reference in evaluating the heat transfer enhancement using the nanofluids.it is clearly observed that increase in flow rate, increases the heat transfer rate indicating the direct relation between these two parameters. The addition of nanoparticles has increased the heat transfer efficiency.the concentration at which the nanoparticles also plays an key role in the enhancement of heat transfer in this study, the physical properties like density and thermal conductivity has been increased and specific heat is decreased slightly than the base fluid, viscosity acted more unfavorable because of the increased values but at higher flow rates and temperatures it doesn't altered the heat transfer.different concentrations exhibit different rates of heat transfer, the lowest volume concentration nanofluid i.e., 0.15% has shown only 8.5% enhancement in heat transfer compared to the base fluid.may be because of less number of nanoparticles.for the nanofluids tested at higher concentrations (0.25%,0.4%) shown the better heat transfer compared to base fluid.it is observed that the enhancement at 0.25% concentration is 28% and however the remarkable increase the heat transfer is obtained at 0.4% concentration the enhancement in heat transfer is obtained as 46.4% compared to the base fluid editor@iaeme.com

10 Experimental Investigation of Convective Heat Transfer Augmentation Using Zno-Proplyene Glycol Nanofluids In A Automobile Radiator Figure 7 Comparison between Nusselt number and Reynolds number at different concentrations. Fig. 7 Compares the variation of Nusselt number for nanofluid with different volume concentrations as function of Reynolds number at radiator inlet temperature of 80 0 C.the Nusselt number found to be increased with increase in the particle concentration and Reynolds number.the enhancement is observed as 38% at 0.4% volume concentration.at the lower concentration of 0.15% the enhancement is only 18%.it seen that the variation in the Nusselt number will be credited to the physical properties changing with temperature and particle concentration.the Reynolds number is also found to be increasing with flow rate.it is not much effected by viscosity at higher temperatures. 5. CONCLUSION In this paper, convective heat transfer performance of car radiator has been tested experimentally using water-proplyene glycol based ZnO nanofluids. The following results are obtained. Heat transfer rate has been increased significantly for nanofluid when compared to basefluid. The highest heat transfer enhancement up to 46.4% is achieved using 0.4% vol nanofluid. Experimental results has shown that the heat transfer enhancement of the nanofluids are highly dependent on the nanoparticle concentration. Increase in concentration shown increase in heat transfer.0.4% vol nano fluid has shown highest enhancement of heat transfer when compared to 0.25% and 0.15% nanofluids.
