This document describes an experiment conducted to calculate the heat loss from an internal combustion engine through the cooling water. Measurements were taken of the engine speed, water volume, inlet and outlet water temperatures, and time. The heat dispersed was then calculated using the change in water temperature and flow rate. The results showed that as engine speed increased, the dispersed heat by the cooling water also increased due to higher engine temperatures requiring more cooling. Water is used because it has a high heat capacity to absorb large amounts of heat without a high temperature rise. Water cooling is also more efficient than air cooling for internal combustion engines due to water's higher specific heat and ability to transfer heat away from the engine through a radiator.

EXPERIMENT (6): THE HEAT LOSS IN COOLING WATER
1-OBJECT
To calculate the dispersed heat from IC engine.

2- APPARATUS
Four cylinders, CM11 gasoline engine

3- THEORY
During combustion in the engine temperature in the cylinder rises up to 4000 F. large
amount of this heat is absorbed by the cylinder walls , cylinder head , pistons and
valves due to which there is great rise in their temperature , if this absorbed heat is not
dissipated , the combustion chamber surfaces would become red hot the valves would
burn and warp and the various parts of the engine would expand enormously , resulting
in the seizure of pistons in the cylinders. Bearing on the fourna1s and pins and scoring
of cylinder walls . in an ICE about 20°b of the latent heat produced during combustion
passes through this cylinder walls into the cooling system. the cooling System is
required to absorb and dissipate the excess heat conducted on cylinder walls, cylinder
head, pistons and valves....etc. and thus to keep engine temperatures within the safe
limits.

7- ASSIGNMENTS
a) Plot dispersed heat versus speed. Comment on the graph.

When we increase the speed, the dispersed heat by water increases duo to the
increasing in engines temperature which need more water to cool.

b) Why is water used to cool the engines of vehicles?


Because it has high specific heat capacity .Which can absorb a large amount of heat
without a high increase in temperature.
c) Why the water cooling is more efficient than air cooling for IC engine?
With water or liquid cooling, the liquid is pumped around the engine.
The liquid eventually arrives in a unit with a large cooling area (the radiator) so it
can be cooled down. The specific heat of water is higher than the specific heat
of air. That is why liquid cooling is mostly more effective than air cooling.
