1. Objective:
The activity aims to show the process on how to determine the heat loss
due to cooling water using the gasoline engine
2. Intended Learning Outcomes

(ILOs):
The students shall be able to:
2.1 Explain the process in e heat loss due to cooling water in an
determining th internal
combustion engine (ICE).
2.2 Determine the heat loss g water in an internal combustion engine
due to coolin (ICE).
2.3 Develop professional luding precision, neatness, safety and
work ethics, inc ability to follow
instruction.
3. Discussion:
The efficiency and life of an engine depends upon how well it is cooled. The
average temperature of burned gases in the combustion chamber of an air-
cooled engine is about 3,600° F.
About a third of the heat is carried away by the cooling system. Various
sheet metal parts surrounding the air-cooled engine direct the flow of
cooling air. The exhaust system carries away another third of the heat. That
which remains is used to produce engine power.
Loss of heat through the cylinder walls to the cooling system reduces the
temperature from 1,200° F to approximately 350° F. This drops to 100° F by
the time it reaches the outer edges of the cooling fins.
Water is an excellent medium for cooling engines. It is inexpensive, readily

available and absorbs heat well.
Some small engines are water-cooled because they are used in or around a
water source. The outboard engine is typical of a relatively small water-
cooled engine.
Water-cooled engines, in general, are made with a double wall surrounding
the cylinder. This is called a water jacket. A small pump keeps the water in
circulation. The water circulating through the jacket absorbs the heat of
combustion and carries it away from the engine.

5.Procedure:
1. Inspect the engine set-up. Ensure that there is enough fuel in the
tank and cooling water in the radiator.
2. Check the oil level in the engine using the dip stick.
3. Measure the diameter of intake and discharge pipes of the radiator.
4. Start the engine and wait until the engine reaches a stable condition.
5. Using the sling thermometer, record the atmospheric temperature.
6. Insert the thermometer along the intake and discharge pipes of the
radiator. Record the temperature readings.
7. Simultaneously, insert the thermometer in the exhaust pipe of the
flue gas line. Record the exhaust gas temperature.
8. Calculate the heat loss due to cooling water and exhaust gas in an
internal combustion engine (ICE) using the following formula.
𝑄𝑤 = 𝑚𝑤 𝑐𝑝 (𝑇𝑓 − 𝑇𝑖)
where:
Qw = heat loss due to cooling water, kW
mw = mass flow of cooling water, kg/s
cp = specific heat of water at constant
pressure, 4.187 kJ/kg.K
Tf = temperature of water leaving the engine,
K
Ti = temperature of water entering the
engine, K
6.Data Analysis and Conclusion:
For the radiator, temperature of cooling air entering the
engine = 26.1°C Specific weight of cooling air =11.8071

Conclusion:
Our group concluded that there are important reasons why the heat loss due to
condensation in the combustion engine should be calculated directly along with engine
energy efficiency, versus cooling system design that reduces heat waste and improves
overall performance Based on this data efficient thermal management engine optimal -
Helps maintain temperature , prevents overheating and potential damage This process
also impacts the environment Furthermore , affects material choices, and affects the
engine’s ability to withstand high temperatures. Knowledge gained from heat loss
calculations provides predictive maintenance, improving engine reliability and life. In
particular, understanding and quantifying heat loss due to condensation is key to
designing efficient, environmentally friendly and reliable combustion engines from end to
end
