Effect of Fin Geometry on Thermal Effectiveness of Two-wheeler Engine Cylinder
Main Article Content
Abstract
Design of engine cylinder is always a great concern to deal with temperature variations owing to overheating. Improving heat transfer rate of cylinder using fins are common. Present work deals with increase in heat through put by utilizing air as operational fluid. The objectives of present study are to examine the effect of extended surface geometry on heat through put of engine cylinder and establish an optimum geometry under the ambient conditions using transient thermal analysis. The results were validated with available literature. For having higher thermal conductivity, Al 6061 Alloy (180 W/mK) is taken as the preferred choice for fabricating the extended cooling surface of engine cylinder.
