Abstract: Nanofluids have a wide application in different industries such as internal combustion engines (ICEs). The most usable criteria of nanofluids in ICEs are nano-fuels (as additives), Nano-lubricants (as oils) and nano-coolants (such as radiator cooling). In this project, we will review and study all of the possible nanofluids in these three applications and try to find the best performance in each application using experimental and numerical methods. The effect of nanofluids on the wear, friction reductions, fuel efficiencies, thermal efficiency, emissions and etc. is discussed and suitable nanofluids are presented. For instance, MoS2 nanoparticles had the best performance on the lubrication process.
