Automotive engine cooling system takes care of excess heat produced during engine operation. Radiators are used for cooling internal combustion engines, piston engine aircrafts, railway locomotives, stationary gearing plants or any similar use in industrial and domestic applications. The flow behavior of coolant fluids in radiator tubes is of great importance to the designer. The proposed work throws light on geometrical aspects which are used in the core of radiators. Also it focuses on developments in geometric parameters of tubes, flow of coolant through tubes which influences radiator performance. Finally case studies of radiator prototypes are proposed which generates the scope for reduced size and flexibility for coolant flow throughout the radiator.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
