As demand of more powerful engines in smaller hood space has created problem of insufficient rate of heat dissipation in automobile radiator. As result, many radiators are redesigned more compactly but having the same rate of heat transfer dissipation. There are several different approaches that can be used to optimize heat transfer performance of smaller radiator design. These are 1) Changing the fin design 2) Increasing the core depth 3) Changing the tube type 4) Changing the flow arrangement 5) Changing the fin material 6) Increasing the surface area to coolant ratio 7) Changing the different types of fluid and mixture concentration. For heat transfer enhancement in radiator design there is limitation on increasing number of fins and current technology gets it at maximize level. So there is need to look in something new technology which have large potential of heat transfer enhancement. It is seen that nano fluid is potential candidate for automobile sector. Heat transfer coefficient of nanofluid is higher than water or water - ethylene glycol mixture. As heat transfer can be improved by number of different ways (one of emerging is use of nanofluid) in Automobile radiators can be made energy efficient and compact. Reduced or compact shape may results in reduced drag, increase the fuel economy, and reduces the weight of vehicle. So it is Possible to design the more powerful engine of a car in smaller hood space.
