STATIC AND THERMAL ANALYSIS OF STRAIGHT AND V-SHAPED FINS CYLINDER HEAD USING FEM METHOD

Abstract

A cylinder head is multi-dimensional container having considerable depth to house ports of air and gas passages, it shelters the inlet and exhaust poppet-valves, houses the spark-plug or injector location holes, forms the upper face of the combustion chamber, and takes the combustion-pressure reaction. It is bolted to the top of the cylinder block, in which the piston reciprocates inside the cylinder. The aim of the project is to design 2-cylinder heads (straight fins and V-shape fins) and analysis is done by using different materials. Cylinder heads are modelled by using SOLID-WORKS software. SOLID-WORKS is a 3d modelling software widely used in the design process. SOLID-WORKS is used by the automotive and aerospace industries for automobile and aircraft product and tooling design. Analysis is done on the models by using different materials. Comparison between materials is done by observing the results of displacement and stress with respect to tables and graphs. Thermal analysis is also done. Analysis is done by using software ANSYS. Here existing material is steel and new materials are (al-6061, cast iron, and monel-400) by comparing all static thermal results we conclude which material is more optimum in both static and thermal loading conditions
