Abstract

Depletion of ozone layer and increase in global warming due to petroleum product is the need to switch for alternative fuels. Today all major automobile industries are in way to launch their CNG bikes. In this research 125cc CNG fuelled SI engine is optimized for different fins material using CFD analysis. Model of engine cylinder block is design in CATIA V5. Two different materials of fin one of aluminium alloy 6061 and other of cast iron is analyzed in ANSYS 15.0 fluent Software. It is observed that aluminium alloy 6061 has more heat loss than that of cast iron. All the trials are performed at 4500C cylinder temperature. Heat transfer coeffient is calculated using ANSYS Fluent software at different climatic condition for vehicle speed of 15 km/hr.
