DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS OF EXCESSIVE COOLING ON THERMAL EFFICIENCY REQUIREMENT FOR IC ENGINES
Keywords:
Effects, Excessive, Cooling, RequirementAbstract
The structural integrity of the components may experience a reduction in rigidity upon exposure to elevated temperatures. In order to optimize the operational efficiency and durability of the internal combustion engine, it is imperative to address the prevailing challenge of excessive operating temperatures. By strategically reducing the current high operating temperature range to a more controlled and desirable range of 150 to 200 degrees Celsius, we can ensure the engine's seamless functionality while mitigating the risk of component failure or damage. The detrimental effects of excessive cooling on thermal efficiency cannot be overstated, as it engenders a cascade of potential concerns, including but not limited to acoustic disturbances and associated anxieties. The overarching objective of the cooling system is to effectively regulate the thermal conditions of the engine, thereby ensuring that it operates within the temperature range that maximizes its overall efficiency and performance capabilities. The final segment of the investigation entails the utilisation of a wind tunnel experiment to modify the geometric configuration, pitch, and wind velocity pertaining to the Al204 fins of the initial engine. The primary aim of this experimental endeavour is to evaluate the efficacy of the cylinder block within the context of a 100cc internal combustion engine automobile.
