Effect of Al₂O₃ nanoparticle dispersion on the thermophysical properties of an ethylene glycol-water coolant for automotive applications
This experimental study evaluates Al₂O₃ nanoparticles dispersed in a 50:50 ethylene glycol–water (EG/W) mixture as an automotive coolant. Nanofluids containing 0.5–3.0 wt% Al₂O₃ were prepared by a two-step method and tested at 30–90 °C. FE-SEM, TEM, and XRD were used for particle characterization; dispersion stability...
