ABSTRACT

The Engine cylinder is one of the primary engine elements that is subjected
to excessive temperature variations and thermal stresses. Fins are placed on the
surface of the cylinder to enhance the amount of heat transfer by convection. The
variation of temperature distribution over time is of interest in many applications
such as in cooling. The accurate thermal simulation could permit critical design
parameters to be identified for improved life. Presently Material used for
manufacturing cylinder fin body is Aluminum Alloy A204 which has thermal
conductivity of 110-150W/mk.

Since, the aluminium alloy has more elastic strain energy storage capacity
and high strength to weight ratio as compared with those of other materials, it can
be used as cooling fins for automobiles. This achieves the vehicle with more fuel
efficiency and improved riding qualities. Also the cooling fins are one of the
potential items for weight reduction in automobiles as it accounts for 10% - 20% of
the unspring weight. Modelling and analysis of the engine cooling fins using
aluminium A204 alloy, aluminium 6061 alloy and Aluminium Alloy C443 will be
done in this project. Modelling of cooling fins are done using creo and the analysis
process is carried out by using Ansys.
NEED OF THE PROJECT

 Making the heat flow through the engine fins more compact by changing a
better material which is good for conduction of heat.

Silver surface enrichment of silver–aluminium alloys: a limitation for the

analysis of ancient silver coins by surface techniques D. Bachtiar, S.M. Sapuan and
M.M. Hamdan Department of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering, Faculty
of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia, The surface enrichment of
archaeological silver–aluminium alloys has been recognized for many years.
However, the origin of this enrichment is not well defined and many hypotheses
have been put forward to account for this behaviour: segregation of the
components during casting, deliberate thermal and/or chemical post-treatment,
abrasion or corrosion.Among the hypotheses mentioned above, we have focused
our study on the first step of coin manufacturing. Replications of silver–aluminium
standards of various compositions ranging from 30% to 80% Ag, reflecting the
composition of silver blanks, have been produced. Metallographic examination,
PIXE and SEM–EDS have been used for the characterization of each sample. A
model of the direct enrichment has been established. This model allows us to
propose a relationship between the surface composition and the silver content of
the core. Comparison with data of Roman coins from the Roman site (France) and
from the literature and consequences for the analyses of ancient coins by surface
methods are presented.

CONDITIONS
 All non-linear effects are excluded.
 The stress-strain relationship for composite material is linear and elastic;
hence Hooke’s law is applicable for Alloy materials
 The load is distributed uniformly at the middle of the cooling fins.
 The cooling fins has a uniform cross section.
