Thermal Analysis of Engine Cylinder having thick tip fin with varying slot sizes and material

Abstract

Fins are the extended surfaces which help to dissipate heat generated in the engine but these extended surface length are limited which limit the rate of heat dissipation. Various automobile industries work to increase this heat dissipation rate by which engine efficiency can be increased. In this paper we try to increase the heat dissipation rate through these extended surfaces by increasing engine fin tip thickness about 3mm and also providing slots of 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm The 3D modeling of engine with different slot sizes keeping fin size and number of fin same designed on Solidworks and the analysis on the ANSYS steady state. For this research work we use Bajaj Caliber so that we can recheck the result with previous research results. We are comparing its performance with others result by using different material such as Aluminum Alloy 6061, Aluminum Alloy C443 and Aluminum Alloy 2014 which having higher thermal conductivities. Result of these various analysis shows that the engine using Aluminum 2014 keeping the slot width 75mm have high thermal heat dissipation rate as others slots width of others materials.
