Abstract

Abstract: The cylinder is one of the main part and heart of the engine. The cylinder should be strong enough to bear high temperature variations and thermal stresses. In order to cool the cylinder, fins are provided on the surface of 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 fins are provided on circumference of the cylinder to dissipate the heat. The thermal analysis of fins helps us to know the heat transfer rate. The variation of Temperature distribution over time is of interest in many applications such as in cooling. The accurate thermal simulation could permit critical design parameters to be identified for improved life. As increasing the area of fins, the heat dissipation rate will be increased. The main aim of the this paper is to identify the geometrical shape of fin which will dissipate more amount of heat by varying geometry, material and thickness of cylinder fins using ANSYS workbench.
