The Effect Analysis of Fin Arrangement on Thermal Hydraulic Performance of a Vehicular Cooler

Abstract:

The excellent thermal hydraulic performances of coolers are the foundations of vehicular safety and stability. Structure, material, fin type and arrangement all have important effects on the thermal hydraulic performances. Numerical simulation method was adopted in this paper to investigate the effect of fin arrangement. The fluid flow and heat transfer performances were contrasted and analyzed under two different fin arrangements. It was found that fin arrangement effected thermal hydraulic performances severely and during the design process of a cooler, the performance requirements could be met through adjusting fin arrangements.
