Development and Evaluation of Nanofluid Heavy-Duty Coolant

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to meet the demand of heat rejection requirement of heavy-duty engine, a novel nanofluid heavy-duty coolant was developed in this paper by taking advantage of nanofluid heat transfer technique and organic acid technique. Comparing with conventional heavy-duty coolant, the heat transfer capacity increased more than 10%, which solved the problems of limited thermal conductivity and convective heat transfer performance. The coolant possessed the characteristics of a qualified engine coolant should have and could be a promising engine coolant.
