  • Abstract:
  • This research presents a comprehensive thermal analysis of engine cylinder fins, aimed at improving heat dissipation and optimizing engine cooling. The study utilizes Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate the temperature distribution and heat flux across the finned surfaces of a standards engine cylinder. The CAD modeling and meshing were carefully constructed to capture the thermal gradients and accurately simulate heat transfer mechanisms. Results from the temperature distribution analysis reveal a smooth gradient from the cylinder core (200°C) to the fin tips (191°C) confirming the fins' effectiveness in maintaining thermal equilibrium by enhancing heat dissipation. The heat flux analysis demonstrates a concentrated heat transfer near the base of the cylinder, with a gradual reduction toward the fin tips.we applied DOE using ANSYS software by which we found minimum temperature around 178°C with optimized fin diameter highlighting the efficiency of the current fin design. However, the study identifies potential improvements in the outermost regions of the fins, where lower heat flux suggests limited heat transfer. The research concludes that while the current fin configuration is effective, further optimization in fin geometry and airflow could significantly enhance the cooling performance. These findings provide a foundation for future investigations into advanced cooling techniques and material innovations for improved engine thermal management
