DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF ENGINE FINS

Abstract

The Engine cylinder is one of the major automobile components, which is subjected to high temperature variations and thermal stresses. In order to cool the cylinder, fins are provided on the cylinder to increase the rate of heat transfer. By doing thermal analysis on the engine cylinder fins, it is helpful to know the heat dissipation inside the cylinder. The principle implemented in this project is to increase the heat dissipation rate by using the invisible working fluid, nothing but air. We know that, by increasing the surface area we can increase the heat dissipation rate, so designing such a large complex engine is very difficult. The main purpose of using these cooling fins is to cool the engine cylinder by any airA parametric model of piston bore fins has been developed to predict the transient thermal behavior. The parametric model is created in 3D modeling software Pro/Engineer. Thermal analysis is done on the fins to determine variation temperature distribution over time. The analysis is done using ANSYS. Analysis is conducted by varying material. Presently Material used for manufacturing fin body is Cast Iron. In this thesis, it is replaced by aluminum alloy. Transient thermal analysis is for above two materials to validate the better material for fin body. The die is prepared by first modeling the part, extracting core & cavity and generating CNC program. Die is designed in this thesis according to HASCO Standards.
