Heat Transfer Analysis by CFD Simulation for Different shapes of Fins
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
An air-cooled motorcycle engine releases heat to the atmosphere through the mode of forced convection to facilitate this, fins are provided on the outer surface of the cylinder. The heat transfer rate depends upon the velocity of the vehicle, fin geometry and the ambient temperature. Insufficient removal of heat from engine will lead to high thermal stresses and lower engine efficiency. The cooling fins allow the wind to move the heat away from the engine. Low rate of heat transfer through fins is the main problem of air cooling system. An attempt is made to simulate the heat transfer using CFD for different shape and geometry of Fins to analyse effects on rate of heat dissipation from fins surfaces. The heat transfer surfaces are modelled in CATIA and simulated in FLUENT software. The main of aim of this work is to study different shapes and geometry of fins to improve heat transfer rate by changing fin geometry under different velocity.
