The heat transfer rate is increased from the fined surface to the surrounding
flowing fluid by creating a dimpled surfaces and pinfins. Both the combinations of circular
shape radiator and dimple surface on the pinfin which increases the heat transfer rate.
In practical applications the shell-and-tube heat exchanger, as shown in Fig. is the most
commonly used design. One of the fluids flows in the many parallel tubes which make up a tube
bundle. The tube bundle is surrounded by a shell. The second fluid flows around the outside of
the tubes within this shell. Countercurrent flow can be realized here except at the ends at of the
heat exchanger where the shell side fluid enters or leaves the exchanger. The addition of baffles,
as in Fig., forces the shell side fluid to flow perpendicular to the tube bundle, which leads to
higher heat transfer coefficients than those found in flow along the tubes. In the sections between
the baffles the fluid is neither in counter or concurrent flow but in cross flow.
These above all are main classification of the heat exchanger but these heat
exchangers are also classified according to many ways some of them are shown as below.
2.RADIATOR
Belt: Your cooling system uses an engine belt to drive the blower fan. Some cars have an additional
electric motor to force air over the auto radiators cores.
Blower/Blower Motor: the fan assembly that pushes air across the cooling cores of your car radiator.
Coolant: The standard mix of anti-freeze and water used for cooling automobile engines.
Coolant Overflow Tank: When your car gets hot, the coolant expands and partially fills the coolant
overflow tank. This is normal.
Fan: See Blower.
Heater Core: The opposite of the auto radiator's cooling core. It uses hot coolant coming from the
engine to heat air for your car's heater.
Hoses: All car radiators use several hoses to pass the coolant to and from the engine. They are affixed to
the auto radiator and engine with hose clamps.
Oil Cooler: It is a secondary cooling system used in cars with automatic transmissions. It cools the oil
from the automatic transmission.
Auto Radiators: The grid of specially shaped metal tubes behind the grill of your car. Hot coolant
passes through these cores and is cooled by the air passing over them. This is the principal method of
cooling an internal combustion engine and the car parts involved.
Radiator Cap: The pressure sensitive radiator cap on the top of your radiator. It increases the pressure in
your cooling system, allowing more efficient cooling. The radiator cap is also designed to expel excess
pressure caused from the coolant becoming too hot or boiling. This prevents damage to the cooling
system.
Thermostat: This regulates the flow of coolant through the engine. It only opens when the engine gets
hot enough, allowing your engine to heat up quickly (good in the winter!).
Transmission Oil Cooler: See Oil Cooler.
Water Pump: This pump forces the coolant through the cooling system.
A radiator is a type of heat exchangers.It is designed to transfer heat from the hot coolant
that flows through to the air blow through it by the fan.
The fin conduct the heat from the tubes and transfer it to the air flowing
the radiator.
The radiator cools the water that flows around the engine.it helps to cool
liquids that exist in engine.

4. DESIGN CALCULATION
The dimpled surface on the pinfin will increase the heat transfer rate in the car radiators by
means of giving a high efficiency cooling effect.
CALCULATION
4.1 INPUT:
Mass flow rate through water jacket(kg/sec)(mc) = 0.35
Mass flow rate through air (kg/sec)(ma) = 10.66
Coolant temperature at radiator inlet (Tci) = 383k
Coolant temperature at radiator outlet (Tco) = 316k
Ambient inlet air temperature (Tai )= 298K
Specific capacity of air (cpa) = 1005J/Kgk
Specific capacity of coolant (Cpc) = 3621.582J/Kgk
4.2 Solution:
Mass flow rate through water jacket (mc)=1250Kg/hr
=1250/3600
=0.35Kg/sec
Mass flow rate through air (ma)
= PV/RT
=1.013*10^5*9/287*298
=10.66 Kg/sec
Hence
Qa=Qc
Mccpc (Tci-Tc0) = macpa (Ta0-Tai)
7.927 = Ta0-298
Ta0=7.927+298
=305.927K
Where Ta0= outlet air temperature
hc = 803.20 w/m2 k
As = Qradiator / hc ( Tc Ts )
= 327.34*10^3 / 803.20 ( 363-310 )
As = 7.690 m2
/4 d2 = 7.690
d2 = 9.796
d = 3.130 m
= 30*300.
= 227 W/Mk.
= 373K.
= 300K.
= 20 W/M2k.
= 327.34 KW.
