Abstract:
An internal combustion engine produces power by burning fuel within the cylinders; therefore, it is often called a heat engine. Engines that make their energy by heat and combustion have a problem of maintaining safe operating temperatures. Thirty to thirty-five percent of the heat produced in the combustion chambers by the burning fuel is dissipated by the cooling system along with the lubrication and fuel systems. Forty to forty-five percent of the heat produced passes out with the exhaust gases. If this heat were not removed quickly, valves would burn and warp, Engine cooling fans are an essential component of the engine cooling system which is used to dissipate the excess heat generated by the combustion of fuels inside the engine. This project consists of designing the fan and analyzing it for its strength in structure using the Finite Element Method (FEM) approach. In this project, a complete design with calculation was developed by using the CAD tool Creo and analyzed with the CAD tool Ansys workbench. By using static and dynamic analysis we can understand the maximum strength and stress values for different materials.
