Comparative investigation on potential application of hybrid nanofluids for Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor cooling system
Abstract
In this study, the potential usage of hybrid nanofluids for brushless direct current (BLDC) motor cooling was compared. Due to their efficiency, durability, and small size, brushless direct current (BLDC) motors are a type of electric motor that are frequently employed in electric vehicles (EVs). In order to maintain appropriate operating temperatures and ensure long-term durability, cooling systems must be taken into account throughout the design of brushless direct current (BLDC) motors. Because excessive heat can shorten a motor's lifespan and affect its performance, effective cooling is crucial. Systems for cooling liquids need more parts and upkeep than those for cooling air. taken into account to get the maximum cooling effectiveness. The effectiveness and dependability of the liquid cooling system are greatly influenced by the system's correct design and implementation, including hose routing, sealing, and coolant choices. There are several approaches to improve a BLDC motor's hybrid nanofluid/nanofluid cooling system. In order to achieve the highest cooling efficiency, fluid flow velocity, nanoparticle concentration, and cooling system design should all be carefully taken into account.
