Abstract |
|
In this study, the main aim is to improve the cooling performance of 4 stroke SI engine. Generally in practice all the motor cycles engines are available having straight fins design on its body. Now here its new concept of wavy fins design in place of straight fins. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis is carried out in ANYSI 14.5 workbench for both types’ engines at various velocities within the range 0.01 km/hr to 120 km/hr. A performance analysis is done by comparing heat transfer rate and overall heat transfer co- efficient. It’s concluded that overall heat transfer coefficient of the wavy fins is better than straight fins for all velocities. An average increment in overall heat transfer co efficient is about 4.38 % after 0.01 km/hr velocity. |
