Heat Exchangers Modeling using Industrial Wind Tunnel Simulation for Automobile Industry

Abstract

In the industry 4.0 eras, it is necessary to analyze each parameter precisely. In case of heat transfer studies, the automobile and aerodynamic industry is gaining more and more attention. Many heat exchangers are designed and tested in industry but for any specific product thermal characteristics can be different which depends on the scenario of use of that product. Heat exchangers can test with fluid, air etc. For internal machines like bearing cooling fluid can be used but in case of automobile, aerodynamics air flow is important element. This paper presents the simulation and analytical modeling of various heat exchangers. This can be very useful for lowering the insulation damages or foil damages of vehicle. The wind tunnel test is carried with constant wind flow to assure that vehicle speed and cooling can be moderate without issue of cooling.
