AUTOMOTIVE HEAT TRANSFER
Heat transfer affects the performance, emissions and durability of the engine as well as the design, packaging, material choice and fatigue life of vehicle components. This course covers the broad range of heat transfer considerations that arise during the design and development of the engine and the vehicle with a primary focus on computational models and experimental validation covering the flow of heat from its origin in the engine cylinders and its transfer via multiple paths through engine components. Specifically, the course covers heat transfer design considerations related to the following: engine cooling and lubrication systems as well as bay-to-bay breathing; exhaust system and after-treatment components; tail pipe gas temperatures, as well as thermal interactions between the engine and its exhaust system with the components in the vehicle under-hood and under-body; turbochargers; passenger cabin HVAC system, including windshield de-icing; battery cooling; heat exchangers and challenges associated with predicting thermal mechanical fatigue life of components. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Formulate solutions to heat transfer problems to optimize component design for durability and cost • Make more reliable predictions of engine in-cylinder heat transfer rates (and therefore thermal stresses and fatigue life) for engine components, namely, the cylinder head, piston, cylinder liner, valves and ports • Optimize design decisions for above engine components by improving trade-offs between material choices, design, durability, packaging, heat flow map and cost • Specify thermal boundary conditions for under-hood and under-body CFD models early in a vehicle development program when only high level engine and performance metrics have been defined. • Predict energy losses due to bay-to-bay breathing • Describe techniques to facilitate thermal management of exhaust aftertreatment devices (DOC, SOC, particulate filters) and tail pipe exit gas temperatures for diesel vehicles
