Heat Transfer Performance of Cylinder Block with Fin for Perforated Fins and Various Materials

Abstract

In the IC engine, the combustion takes place in the engine cylinder block from the mixing of air-fuel. And after burning of air-fuel in cylinder block the temperature distribution takes place and this process goes continuously. The heat transfer depends upon the velocity of the air, ambient temperature, the geometry of the fin, and the surface of the fin. Throughout most cases, the design of the system restricts heat transfer across fins. The principle of convection and conduction is utilised to cool various structures through fins. Numerical simulations are carried out for two different fin materials: AL 2014 T6 and AL6061 T6. The heat transfer effect may be varied by changing geometry and changing material for different thermal conductivities, using perforations on the fin.The maximum temperature drop is 25.87 0C with holes and maximum total Heat flux is 440.11 w/m2.The design of the model is done in CATIA V5 software and thermal analysis is done in ANSYS R19.
