Abstract:

The performance and efficiency of an internal combustion engine are significantly influenced by its heat dissipation capabilities, particularly through the engine cylinder fins. This paper focuses on the design and thermal analysis of modified engine cylinder fins using Ansys, intending to improve heat dissipation and overall engine efficiency. While effective to a degree, traditional fins often face limitations in their ability to transfer heat, leading to overheating issues and potential engine damage. Various fin geometries and materials were explored to address this, and the modified designs' thermal performance was compared to conventional fins. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA) in Ansys, we examined the modified fin configurations' heat transfer rates, temperature distributions, and thermal stresses. The results indicated that optimized fin geometries and material selection could significantly enhance the heat dissipation rates, thereby reducing engine temperature and improving longevity.
