Assessment of Performance of Engine having Different Sizes of Perforated Fins

Perforation inside the fins has been studied in the present paper. Fins increase the heat transfer by increasing the surface area. Circular perforation in a two wheeler engin has been studied. ANSYS 16.0 has been utilized to solve present analysis. Al6063, copper and nickel material have been considered to study heat transfer rate. Perforation has been done to see its effect on the heat transfer. 2, 4 and 6 mm perforation on the engine fins have been studied and compared by engine without perforated fins. Time-temperature cooling curve has been plotted and results reveal that perforation increases the heat transfer. From the results it also been noticed that Nickel shows larger heat transfer rate compared to Al6063 and Cu. Engine having perforated fins weigh less when compared with engine having solid fins. Weight analysis shows that Engine made of Nickel weigh largest compared to Al6063 and Cu engine. Heat transfer has been found maximum for largest perforation considered in the study.
