Evaluation of the Use of Titanium and Silicon Nanoparticles for the Improvement the Thermal Conditioning System in Vehicles

This resecahc present, the improved cooling system of a vehicle has been developing research of new materials that help dissipate heat inside the engine more efficiently, it is for this reason that in this research project coolants were developed under the ASTM D-3306 standard using nanofluids with nanoparticles of titanium dioxide ( 93.9 nm ) and silicon ( 96.3 nm ) produced by attrition milling, centrifuging and filtering dioxide, which were used in a vehicle gasoline of 1600 cc engine and fuel injection, in order to analyze the thermal and mechanical behavior of the vehicle, compared to commercial coolants on the market, for it touch and power tests, dynamic emissions and fuel consumption ASM were performed. Better engine performance was obtained when using coolants with titanium dioxide and silicon dioxide nanoparticles, the greatest increase was the titanium.
