Abstract |
|
Motorcycle engine releases heat to the atmosphere through the mode of forced convection heat transfer. To solve this, fins are provided on the outer part of the cylinder. The heat transfer rate is defined depending on the velocity of vehicle, fin geometry and the ambient temperature. Increasing the temperature difference between the object and the environment, increasing the convection heat transfer coefficient, or increasing the surface area of the object increases the heat transfer. Many experimental methods are available in literature to analyze the effect of these factors on the heat transfer rate. However, CFD analysis will be used to simulate the heat transfer of the engine block. ANSYS software is selected to run the simulation. |
