Abstract

This proposal describes a research project to develop a high performance heat transfer fluid consisting of a phase change material suspension for I.C. engine cooling systems. During the Phase I studies, experimental work will be done to develop a suitable phase change material/suspending fluid formulation as required. In addition, work will be done to evaluate the heat transfer and flow characteristics of the suspension. Based on the results of these experimental studies, designs for cooling systems for automobiles will be developed. High performance cooling fluids for automotive systems are of enormous importance in high power vehicles for both defense as well as commercial/industrial applications. Advanced heat transfer fluids also have applications in avionics and high power electronics thermal management.
