Computational Analysis Of Heat Transfer Through Four-stroke S. I. Engine Fins

Transcript

it is important for an air-cooled engine to utilize fins for effective engine cooling to maintain uniform temperature in the cylinder periphery. Many experimental works has been done to improve the heat release of the cylinder and fin efficiency. In this study, heat release of an IC engine cylinder cooling with straight fins and with wavy fins is calculated numerically using commercially available CFD tool ANSYS. The IC engine is initially at 500⁰C and the heat release from the cylinder is analysed at a wind velocity of 60 km/hr to 100 km/hr. The heat release from both the cylinders is compared. With the help of the available numerically results, the design of the I. C. engine cooling fins can be modified for improving the heat release and efficiency.
