Behaviour of Different Fluids For Replacement Of Engine Oil As Coolant In Circlular Mini Channel

Abstract

This paper represents study of different fluids in place of engine oil as coolant in circular mini channel. In this
study solid material is same for all. Mini channel is under different conditions. Variation in values of heat flux on
thermal characteristics (average bottom surface temperature and average heat transfer coefficient) of the mini channel is
shown. Here the material of solid substrate of is taken as silicon and engine oil as fluid material is taken as reference
combination. For the validation of this research predicted results is compared with those obtained by published research
paper (By Mansour). For the analysis of thermal characteristics of the mini channel comparison of reference
combination with different fluids and silicon as solid material is shown in this paper. Here fluids used for study are
aniline and n-butyl alcohol as fluid.
