Experimental Analysis of Heat dissipation in Nano coated Radiator tubes

Mechanical Engineering

Radiators are a type of heat exchangers used to transfer thermal energy from one medium to another for the purpose of cooling and heating. Upwards of 33% of energy generated by the engine through combustion is lost in heat. Insufficient heat dissipation can result in the overheating of engine, which leads to the breakdown of the lubricating oil, metal weakening of engine parts, and significant wear between engine parts. It is necessary to reduce the heat in order to decrease the wear and tear. This is lead to the increased demand on the power packed radiators, which can dissipate maximum amount of heat for any given space. Our project aims to do a comparison between ordinary radiator tube material such as Aluminum and Copper to a new radiator tube material such as Brass alloy with the Nano coating. The Nano coating is nowadays becoming more popular because of its extensive application in many fields. Mostly the nano coating is used to increase the property of the material. In our project we used Al2O3 as the nano particle which is coated to the surface of the tubes.
