1. INTRODUCTION
Nano materials have inmost a huge concentration in the last two decades because of their unique properties that find potential applications in many fields of science and technology. It has grown explosively in the last decade, because of the increasing availability of methods, synthesis of nanomaterials as well as tools of characterization and manipulation. Nanotechnology makes us to believe that we would have the ability to create anything that we could precisely define.

Synthesis of nanomaterials is another key issue. General approaches in synthesizing nanomaterials involve vapour, liquid or solid state routes or their intelligent combinations. Size effects are an essential aspect of nanomaterials. Size effects are of two types: one is concerned with specific size effects and other with size scaling applicable to relatively larger nanostructures. Synthesis of nanomaterials includes control of size, shape and structure. Ultrahigh performance cooling is one of the important needs of Automobile industries. Hence the recent advancement for efficient cooling is Nanofluids.

Viscosity as one of the most important factors which are used for correct selection of the required oil in a lubricating system and also flash point and pour point are the properties which are related to the quality of oil functionality in different work conditions. The concentration of nanoparticles has a great effect on the functionality of nanolubricants. The nanofluid is not a simple liquid-solid mixture; the most important criterion of nanofluid is agglomerate-free stable suspension for long durations without causing any chemical changes in the base fluid. Nanometer sized particles prevent particles from agglomeration and the settling of pa...
