Smaller radiator with enhanced heat transfer using CNT-nanofluids

With the development of advanced thermal fluids such as carbon nanotubes (CNT)-nanofluids, which have better thermal conductivity, there is a possibility to reduce the size of car radiators without affecting their heat transfer performance. In this study, the heat transfer results are compared using...
