Abstract: The key part of the engine that is subjected to extreme temperature variations and thermal strains in the cylinder. So, for overcome these temperature variations and speed up the heat transmission, expanded surfaces known as fins are attached to the cylinder walls of air-cooled internal combustion engines. If the only goal is to increase the heat transfer rate, the shape of the fins and material used for fabrication of fins plays a vital role in increasing the heat loss capacity of the cylinder block. The fin parameters like thickness, shape, fin number, length is having a great influence on heat transfer rate. The temperature of the fin surface and the outside wall was determined computationally and mathematically. Rectangular fins are taken into account for the study based on the literature review. Additionally, Gray cast iron and aluminium 6061, are chosen as material for comparison maximum heat transfer in both. SOLID WORKS 2020 was used to create the design of the engine cylinder and ANSYS 2023 R2 student version is used to analyse the designed model. The analysis’s finding indicates that which material is better for the fins for the fabrication on cylinder outer walls.
Key words: Expanded surfaces, Fins, Gray Cast iron, Aluminium 6061, SOLIDWORKS 2022, ANSYS 2023 R1.
