If the heat causes the brake fluid to reach its boiling point, a
vapor-lock is created that retards the hydraulic system from
dispersing the heat caused from braking.
Preparation of nanofluids
There are two fundamental methods to obtain nanofluids:
1. Direct evaporation method: In this method, the direct
evaporation and condensation of the nanoparticulate materials
in the base liquid are obtained to produce stable nanofluids.
2. In second method, first the nanoparticles are obtained by
different methods and then are dispersed into the base liquid.
Many researchers have reported experimental studies on the
thermal conductivity of nanofluids. The temperature
oscillation method, the steady-state parallel plate method, and
transient hot-wire method [3] have been employed to measure
the thermal conductivity of nanofluids. This paper review
application of nanofluids as coolant in Automobile radiator
and challenges related to it. The Below fig. 2 shows the the
different types of nano particles with Length scale and some
examples related to it

V. CONCLUSION
Nanofluids are important because they can be used in
numerous applications involving heat transfer, and other
applications such as in detergency. Nanofluids have also been
demonstrated for use as smart fluids. Problems of nanoparticle
agglomeration, settling, and erosion potential all need to be
examined in detail in the applications
It can be concluded that nanofluids is a potential
candidate in Automobile sector application.
Heat transfer can be improved by nonofluids, hence
automobile radiators can be made energy efficient
and compact leading to compact shape and less drag.
This will increase fuel economy and also reduce the
weight of the vehicle
Exact mechanism of enhanced heat transfer for
nanofluids is still in progress and using efficiently in
todays major problem as reported by many
researchers.
There are different challenges of nanofluids which is
hindering its application. Research still has to be
done on the synthesis and applications of nanofluids
so that they may be applied as predicted.
