Different types of nanofluids have been used as coolants such as Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, CuO, and TiO<sub>2</sub> nanofluids. The base fluids taken are water and 50-50 volume percentage of water and ethylene glycol (EG) mixture. The volume percentage of 1%, 2%, and 3% of nanoparticles has been used for all the cases. The lowest outlet temperature and highest heat transfer rate are found for Water-EG based nanofluids. The lowest coolant outlet temperature (355.91 K) is found for 3 vol% of Water-EG based TiO<sub>2</sub> nanofluid and the highest heat transfer rate (67.87 W) is found for 3 vol% of Water-EG based CuO nanofluid. The highest outlet temperature and the lowest heat transfer rate are found to be 358.50 K and 51.73 W respectively for water-based CuO nanofluid. Nonetheless, the Water-EG based nanofluids showed better results than water-based nanofluids showing a low coolant outlet temperature and a high heat transfer rate.</p>}, number={02}, journal={Journal of Engineering Advancements}, author={Mahmud, Mohammad Sultan and Rijvi, Fahim Rahaman}, year={2022}, month={Jun.}, pages={57–63} }
