    INTRODUCTION

    • Almost all of the present two wheelers use Air cooled engines, because Air-cooled
    engines are the only option due to the impressive advantages like lighter weight and
    lesser space requirement.
    • This heat transfer is due to many fixed and variable constraints (fin array, fin
    geometry and shape, fluid flow velocity, and material etc.).
    • The effect of cooling of internal combustion engine cylinder in free air has been
    studied and various results are noted and analyzed.
    • After carrying Transient Thermal Analysis of model, heat flow analysis,
    improvements are there in fin efficiency by changing fin geometry, fin material and
    climate condition.
    PROJECT OBJECTIVES

    To develop a fin design for Selection of material:


    Comparing results of
    efficient cooling of air Aluminium or
    the proposed fin models.
    cooled engines. Magnesium
    MODEL SELECTION
    • The cylinder fin geometry is selected based on the research and experiments
    conducted by various researchers as described as per the standards. Cylinder
    model is created in CAD with straight fin profile.
    • Aluminium and Magnesium are selected as a fin material for further analysis
    by ANSYS.
    • Aluminium is a very light metal with a specific weight. The use of Al in
    vehicle reduces dead weight and energy consumption while increasing load
    capacity.
    • Aluminium is a good reflector of visible light as well as heat. Aluminium
    properties better corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, reflectivity,
    ductility, odourless, recyclability.
    • Magnesium alloys are not only lighter but have other benefits as well. They
    are shock resistant and have greater edge over aluminium to damp noise and
    vibrations.
    METHODOLOGY

    • Used Transient Thermal Analysis model for analysis of imported geometry


    • Imported finned cylinder geometry to ANSYS Design Modeler.
    • Selected material (Aluminium alloy and Magnesium alloy).
    • Generated mesh and tuned up analysis settings.
    • Selected relevant faces in the geometry for heat flux and convection.
    • Calculated the solution by gradually increasing the number of iterations in
    Ansys.
    • Coming to a conclusion after obtaining the results.

    DISCUSSION

    • The temperature change within the Rectangular fins of Aluminum


    alloy was from 564.4 K to 330.33 K by the flowing of air over the
    fin. The Total heat flux has a maximum value of 1.3359 W/mm2.
    • The temperature change within the Rectangular fins of Magnesium
    alloy was from 626.71 K to 338.97 K It was observed the Total heat
    flux has a maximum value of 1.8099 W/mm2.
    • The probable reason for increase in heat transfer rate in case of
    magnesium alloy would be the high thermal conductivity k, as
    effectiveness(performance) of fins depends directly on k.
    • The cylinder wall area is exposed to the hot gases varies with the
    piston position. In this project, it can be seen that in figure 4.2 and
    figure 4.4, area exposed to flux is more, hence the heat transfer is
    maximization.
    • The proportion of the time for which an area remains in contact with
    the hot gases in virtually independent of speed. Figure shows comparison between various fin model.
    CONCLUSION

    • This project has compared the materials Aluminum alloy 6061 and Magnesium alloy ZC63A with varying shapes
    of engine cylinder. The fin geometry is modeled using the SOLIDWORKS 2018 and then thermal analysis is done
    on ANSYS workbench.
    • By simply changing the shape of the fins and also by changing the material of fin; the fin performance is increased
    as well as the weight is reduced.
    • It was observed the Total heat flux has a maximum value of 3.9887 W/mm2 within the Proposed model of fin
    Shape of Aluminum alloy from by the flowing of air over the fin.
    • Also, it was observed the Total heat flux has a maximum value of 3.558 W/mm2 for the Proposed model of fin
    shape of Magnesium alloy. This clearly conclude that heat transfer hence the cooling is improved.
    • When analyzed on software, the modified cylinder 3(proposed model) has shown better results than other two, as
    surface area is increased that leads to increased heat rate. But manufacturing of this type fins will not be
    economical because of the complexity of the design.
    • Hence, conclude that using magnesium alloy material is better and fins shape should be longitudinal.
