Modeling and simulation studies of 100 cc motor cycle engine cylinder with groove and perforated fin design using different materials

Abstract The modeling and simulation studies of 100 cc motor cycle engine cylinder with fins are carried out to analyze the heat transfer rate of the engine block. The engine cylinder with fins is modeled using Autodesk Fusion360 having different groove widths of 10 mm, 7.5 mm, 5 mm and 2.5 mm size and different perforation diameters in the fins such as 4 mm, 3 mm and 2 mm. The materials used for modeling in these studies are aluminium cast alloy A356, AA 1060, AA2014-T6, cast iron with 2% nickel, magnesium alloy AM60A-F and Sintered Aluminium Powder (SAP). It is observed that engine cylinder made of cast iron with fins having groove width of 2.5 mm and cylindrical perforation diameter of 4 mm in the fins is most suitable for better heat transfer rate compared to other materials used in this study.
