nanofluid. The equipment called KD2 thermal property analyzer uses to measure thermal conductivity and thermal resistivity. The KD2 analyzer also calculate thermal data and display thermal conductivity in 90 just seconds. It showed the thermal conductivity of Al2O3 nanofluids increases with a partial volume concentration & the viscosity of nanofluid depend on volume percentage. The electrical conductivity is higher than best fluids available as coolant.

preparation done by two step method, which involve the use of Ultrasonic Sonicator

for Mechanical Vibration which tends to dissolve nanoparticle in the base fluid. Followed by Mechanical Exciting to fluid to dissolve the denser particles. And eventually the use of Magnetic Stirrer to obtain a homogeneous mixture of Al2O3 nanoparticles with base fluid. By virtue of experimentation the overall heat transfer coefficient, Nusselt number and Reynolds number increase with coolant flow rate which gives higher heat transfer rate compare to base fluids. It is concluded that nanofluid has higher heat transfer properties than other base fluid like water and ethylene glycol and good economy.

experimentation it is concluded that use of nano fluid provides scope for design of compact radiator size & reduce weight of system because of this the car can possess better aerodynamics at similar rate of heat dissipation.

Overall heat transfer coefficient was increased by 20%, 25% and 29% for Al2O3/water nanofluid with volume concentration of 1%, 1.5% and 2% respectively at Peclet no 3000 compared to those of distilled water coolant at part load.
