Heat Transfer Simulation and Optimization of Cooling System for Micro Wankel Engines

Article Preview

Abstract:

A jet cooling system is designed for micro Wankel engines in laboratory environment. The heat transfer on the wall of engine is simulated with FLUENT, from the simulation results we can see that the cooling effect of jet cooling system is good, it can meet the needs of wall temperature. This paper is helpful for the cooling of micro engines in laboratory environment.
