1. Introduction | Internal Combustion Engine:

• The engine is the heart of your car.

• It is used to convert heat from burning gas into the force that turns the
road wheels.

• There are many different types of fuels for internal combustion engines.
These include diesel, gasoline, ethanol and efuel.

1. Introduction | Our Engine:

Honda CBR600rr
599 cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder
DOHC; four valves per cylinder
Engine’s Specifications:
• Horsepower = 105 bhp @ 14,100 rpm (77 kW)
• Torque = 62.5 N⋅m @ 12,400 rpm
• Compression ratio = 12.2:1

2. Cooling System | I.C Engine’s Radiator:

• Engine produces high amount of heat while running about one-third of


total power that can damage or seize the engine components.

• Engine needs to run at a medium temperature, which is called engine


working temperature.

• Radiator plays a vital role to obtain the temp. in engine cooling system.

• Many parameters affect heat rejected from the engine to the cooling
water as a function of crank shaft rotational speed, the mass flow rate of
air through the core as a function of car speed.

3. Aim Of Research | Performance of a Radiator:

1. Cooling load estimation.

2. Complete design of needed radiator by


mathematical calculation and heat
transfer analyses.

3. The investigation of the validation of


the design by using simulation tool
“ANSYS”.

4. Cooling Load Estimation | Honda CBR600rr:

• Engine produces high amount of heat while running about one-third of


total power.

• As mentioned before, CBR 600rr is used, which can produce 75 kW


BHP.

• This heat transfers to the coolant by conduction and convection. Then,


heat is removed to the ambient air by radiation and convection methods.

• Thus, the resulted heat (q) from the present engine can be calculated as
follows:
q = (1/3) × engine BHP = (1/3) × 75 = 25 kW

5. Mathematical Calculations | Coolant:

• This amount of heat is transferred to the coolant can be found as


follows: q = m′ × Cp × (To - Ti)
• Assuming that To = 85ᵒC and Ti = 55ᵒC with q = 25,000 W, the mass-
flow rate (m′) equals 0.2 kg/s.
• Then we get flow velocity with standard dimensions of radiator tubes.
• This velocity influences the heat transfer coefficient. Considering the
passage dimensions, the final cross-sectional area (Ap) for the coolant
flow is calculated as:
Ap=1.69 ×18.35=31.0115 mm2
• So the mean velocity: Vp = m′/(ρ × A)
= 6.45 m/s

5. Mathematical Calculations | Air:
• On this part heat transfers largely by convection. The high speed of the
race car positively affects the coefficient of heat transfer from the
radiator to the ambient air.
• As there is a constant rate of heat transfer to be removed to the ambient
air, the required area (Ar) that interfaces with the medium can be
calculated as follows:
• Inlet air temperature: Tair,in = 20ᵒC q = h A (Tao - Tai)
• Outlet air temperature: Tair,out = 85ᵒC
• Convection heat transfer coefficient (h): 800 W/(m2.K)

• So we can get the required surface area:


Ar = 0.48 m2

5. Mathematical Calculations | Air:

• Based on this needed area, the length (L)


of each of the radiator tubes can be found
from the following relation:
• A = (2 × 1.8 L2/0.75) + (2 × 0.169 ×
L2/0.75)

40cm
A = 5.25 L2

• Thus, L = 35 cm

• The number of tubes is assumed to be 40,

• The width of the radiator (W) = 30 cm.

6. COMPUTATOINAL SIMULATION | ANSYS-Fluent:

• The first step, after reading the geometry, is to create the suitable
computational mesh that affects the accuracy of the solution.

• Thus, very careful consideration is paid to generate a high-quality mesh


to give accurate results.

6. COMPUTATOINAL SIMULATION | ANSYS-Fluent:

• Then we define the fluid zone, and


the boundary conditions are defined,
which include:

• Temperature of the fins.


• Water velocity in the tubes.
• Outlet atmospheric pressure.

6. COMPUTATOINAL SIMULATION | ANSYS-Fluent:

• Then, the solution is carried out for a suitable number of iterations that
corresponds to a specified limit of accuracy. Figures show the
temperature distribution for the tubes, heads, and fins, respectively.

7. CONCLUSIONS:

• We finally calculate the required size of


radiator needed for this amount of heat
generated by CBR600rr Honda engine
we use in a FSAE racing car for
London competition.

• The life time of the engine will be


increased by enhance the cooling
system.
