Summary: | The use of direct cooling systems for automotive internal combustion engines has been less spectacular in United Kingdom, U.S.A., Asia or even Malaysia than on the Continent of Europe but designers now recognise that the weight-saving and other advantages of this system, as compared with liquid-cooling, are substantial and merit much closer attention and investigation. The study of cooling performance of air-cooled engine is therefore important for the development of the air-cooled engines in order to gain the best results in this field. In this thesis, there are theoretical and practical studies of the air-cooled engine cooling system that have been focused and discussed. The first is on the principles and theory which covers introduction of the air-cooled engine, engines cooling systems, fundamentals of heat transfer, heat transfer through cylinder walls, thermal balance of the engine and the finned surface. |
