Heat Transfer Analysis of Motorcycle Engine Cylinder Using CFD under Various Fin Geometries and Speed Condition

Abstract:

In thisstudy, the heat transfer analysis of internal combustion engine of motorbike is performed with the various fin geometries. Generally rectangular fins are used for motorbike but still this fin geometry could be modified to increase the heat transfer rate.A numerical investigation is carried out for two geometries such as annular and wavy, of finned engine cylinder using CFD and the results are compared. Various experimental methods are presented in literature to see the effect of wind velocity, fin geometry and the ambient temperature on heat transfer rate. In the present paper an effort is made to study the effect of wind velocities and fins geometries on the heat transfer rate and simulation of the heat transfer using CFD. The models are generated in CATIA V5 and simulated in FLUENT software. The results show that the heat transfer rate and effectiveness of the wavy fins is better than for the annular fins.
