Abstract

Car cooling system is one of the most important components in the automotive engine system.The function of this cooling system is to control engine temperature from overheat.A typical car can produce enormous amount of heat ignite by the combustion of fuel in cylinder to drive the wheels.If it is not controlled,it can destroy an engine in a minute.A few components that influence cooling system are;i)size of radiator,ii)type of coolant, iii)speed of fan,and iv) radiator fin.This factor will affect the rate of temperature released to the surrounding.The experiment was performed to study the major properties of coolant that influence cooling system and to differentiate properties behaviour between various type of coolant.The result stated that the coolant with 88.86% water and 11.42% antifreeze is the best because of the factor that influence the heat transfer and ability to increasing the boiling point and lowering the freezing point.
