The effect of enhancing heat transfer using three nanofluids, Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes MWCNT, Copper oxide CuO, and aluminum oxide Al2O3, have been experimentally studied on the automotive radiator with a concentration of 1% vol and different flow rates (4-8) l/min, air velocity of 3 m/s and inlet temperatures range (60-80) °C. The results showed that the use of nanofluids improved the thermal performance compared to the base fluid. Using the (MWCNT-Water) achieved 41.7% of Nusselt number where as, copper oxide (CuO) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) have improved the Nussult number by 31.7 % and 12.3 % respectively. The Nusselt number showed an increase with the increase in the flow rate and the inlet temperature.
