“…This nanofluid application possibly reduces radiator frontal area, allowing design flexibility, encouraging eco-friendly automobiles with less drag, and ultimately cutting fuel costs. Gurpreet Singh Sokhal et al [10] The study explores graphene oxide (GO) nanofluids mixing ethylene glycol (EG) and deionized water (DW) in varied ratios for automobile radiator cooling, exhibiting enhanced heat transfer capabilities. The optimized 60% EG, 40% DW, and 0.1 wt% GO combination exhibit remarkable heat transfer increases of 42.77% at 300 LPH, 18.14% at 360 LPH, and 71.1% at 240 LPH.…”

This research paper delves into the realm of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis to optimize the thermal performance of automobile radiators through the application of coatings. The study focuses on the impact of three different coating sizes, namely 50 micrometres, 80 micrometres, and 100 micrometres, aiming to enhance heat transfer efficiency and overall radiator performance. To systematically investigate the influence of these coatings on thermal behaviour, the L9 Orthogonal array is employed as a robust experimental design. The experimental methodology involves simulating the radiator's heat dissipation capabilities using CFD techniques, considering the interaction of fluid dynamics and heat transfer within the coated radiator. The L9 Orthogonal array provides a systematic and efficient approach to conducting experiments, allowing for the exploration of various coating combinations and their effects on thermal performance. The research not only analyses the impact of different coating sizes on the overall heat transfer efficiency but also seeks to identify optimal combinations that yield superior results. Insights gained from this study contribute to the development of advanced thermal management strategies in automotive engineering, aiming to enhance the cooling efficiency of radiators while maintaining operational and material constraints. Key findings highlight the significant role that coating thickness plays in augmenting the heat dissipation capabilities of automobile radiators. The outcomes of this research bear implications for the automotive industry, guiding future design considerations for improved radiator performance in terms of heat transfer efficiency, energy consumption, and overall system sustainability.
