Performance Optimization of a Fin Geometry Used In an IC Engine

Abstract

In this design the single cylinder air cooled
engine to be analysis with different profile fins
such as triangular, rectangular, elliptical,
trapezoidal profile and compare to the existing
profile of engine. Comparative thermal tests will
be carried out using Aluminum two stroke S.I
engine made with triangular film, with
rectangular elliptical, trapezoidal profile without
varying the material properties of engine block. A
cylinder with a single film mounted on it to be
tested. The numerical simulation of the same
setup was done with ansys. The main aim of this
project is to study various researches done in the
past to improve heat transfer rate of cooling fins
by changing cylinder block fin profile. In this
project we done the modeling in catiav5 and
analysis is done in ansys 14.5
