Influence of high voltage on heat transfer performance in automobile radiators

Abstract

Radiators are heat-exchanging devices used to transfer heat from one medium to other medium. The radiators are used for variety of applications such as vehicles, mining operations, constructions, industries, etc. In automobiles, radiators are mainly used reduce the heat in the engine block. In recent days, a special type of coolant is used to circulate through the engine block and the heat transfer takes place. Heat transfer takes place between the hot water stream to the cold air stream passing through the fins of the radiator. The heat transfer performance of the radiator is studies for the three different coolant compositions subjected to the high voltage electric field, the efficiency is calculated, and the radiator fan speed is optimized.
