    The document discusses heat transfer in automotive radiators. It explains that modern car engines generate extreme heat from combustion that must be removed by the cooling system to prevent overheating. Radiators transfer heat from the hot coolant to the air passing through the radiator fins. The purpose of the thesis was to determine the heat transfer rate of a car radiator using the ε-NTU method. It calculated that a 62 kW diesel engine radiator transferred 68.64 kW of heat with a coolant flow of 3288.6 L/hr and air velocity of 25.3 mph, with coolant temperature dropping 18.5°C and air rising 64.76°C through the radiator.

    CHAPTER 5

    CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSIONS

    Modern automotive internal combustion engines generate a huge amount of


    heat. This heat is generated when the fuel and air mixture is ignited in the combustion
    chamber. This explosion causes the piston to be forced down inside the engine and
    creates power. Metal temperatures around the combustion chamber can exceed
    4000°F. Out of this generated heat approximately 30-35% of the heat in combustion is
    converted into power to drive the vehicle and its accessories. Another 35-40% of the
    heat is carried off into the atmosphere through the exhaust system. The remaining 30-
    35% must be removed from the engine by the cooling system in order to prevent the
    overheating of the engine oil, cylinder walls, pistons, valves, and other components by
    these extreme temperatures, it is necessary to effectively dispose this heat.
    As coolant travels through the engine’s cylinder block, it accumulates heat.
    Once the coolant temperature increases above a certain threshold valve, the vehicle’s
    thermostat triggers a valve which forces the coolant to flow through the radiator.
    Radiator is the key component of engine cooling system. As the coolant flows through
    the tubes of the radiator, heat is transferred through the fins and tube walls to the air
    by conduction and convection.

    5.1. Conclusion
    Purpose of this thesis intend to know how to determine the heat transfer rate of
    any automobile radiator by using ε-NTU method. In a radiator design, thermal
    analysis of an automobile radiator is one of the most important factors. Moreover, it
    can also provide for improving the existing radiator design. In this thesis, the heat
    transfer performance of 62 kW diesel engine radiator was 68.64 kW at coolant
    volumetric flow 3288.6 L/hr and air velocity 25.3 mph when temperature drop of
    water at radiator exit is 18.5°C and temperature rise of air at radiator exit is 64.76°C.

    5.2. Discussions
    By the objective of this thesis, the design parameter of an automobile radiator
    is observed and thermal analysis in radiator is calculated for overcoming the
    54

    overheating problem in engine. Furthermore, this thesis can fulfill when designing in
    automobile radiators by consideration of radiator weight, cost, less space available,
    optimum heat transfer rate and to minimize the stress on the engine as a result of heat
    generation.
    Heat load depends on heat rejection required to keep engine surface at
    optimum temperature. Required amount of heat to remove from engine is calculated
    from maximum operating condition. Generally, LMTD or ε-NTU method is used to
    calculate the heat transfer rate of radiator. Both methods have its own advantages and
    preferred according to data availability. In this thesis, ε-NTU method is utilized to
    calculate the heat transfer rate of automobile radiator (62 kW diesel engine).
