Analysis of IC Engine Air Cooling of Varying Geometry and Material

The fins are generally extended surfaces of projections of materials on the system. The fins are generally used to increase the heat transfer rate from the system to the surroundings by increasing the heat transfer area. The heat transfer rate depends upon the velocity of the vehicle and fin geometry and temperature of cylinder many experimental methods are available in literature to analyze the effect of these factors on the heat transfer rate. The aim of the project is increase heat transfer rate from extended fins modifying geometry of rectangular fins with straight slot cutting and Aluminium alloy 6061.The parametric model is created in 3D modeling software SOLIDWORKS 2013. Heat transfer simulation will be conducted using ANSYS Workbench 16.0 software.
