Abstract

Radiators are miniature version of heat exchangers used for cooling internal combustion engines and other engines like stationary generating plant, railway locomotives, piston engine aircrafts, motorcycles etc. It transfers the heat from the fluid inside to the air outside, thereby cooling the fluid, which in turn cools the engine. Many researches are carried out in order to improve its performance and for having high degree of surface compactness. These heat exchangers have fins, and tubes called compact heat exchangers. In this project we have designed a radiator model with fins. We modified it by changing the tube in tubes. For this purpose a 3D model of radiator was designed using CATIA. After modeling of the geometry the computational analysis tool ANSYS was used to perform a CFD analysis on radiator. The results were verified for Heat transfer rate and Pressure drop, Outlet air temperature, Heat carried by air, Velocity. After the analysis we found that circular tube radiator was the best design on the basis of its heat transfer rate
