Abstract
The engine of an automobile remains
exposed to a very high temperature and so its
components also. This high temperature may result
in wear and tear of engine components. So it
becomes necessary to cool the engine with any
available source. For cooling purpose, fins are
provided on the engine body so that the rate of
heat transfer gets increased. The basic science
involved is that as we increase the surface area of
the heated material the heat transfer rate increases
accordingly from it. Fins are available in different
size and material, as per the requirement of heat
transfer. In this project, the heat transfer rate from
fins of different material and geometry has been
studied and compared. The fin materials used in
this analysis are: Aluminium alloy 2014,
Aluminium alloy 6061, Aluminium alloy A204,
Aluminium alloy C443. The modification was done
in size as well as geometry. For analysis the
rectangular fin thickness was 3mm. Also a circular
fin and curved fin of thickness 3mm and 2.5mm
used in this analysis. The 3-D model of this
existing engine was re-created in Creo-2 by using
the dimensions. The thermal analysis was done in
Ansys-16 and module used is Transient Thermal
state. This module gave a comparison of heat flux
of fins of different materials and geometry used in
this project. A fin of particular geometry and
material having highest rate of heat transfer has
been selected.
