| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄應用科技大學 === 模具工程系碩士班 === 102 === Automobile radiator is the key component in the cooling system of the engine for a car. There are some problems will be caused if the thermo- hydraulic performance overheating such as the parts soften, abrasion, amount of oil consumption and the power decrease. However, how to enhance the thermo-hydraulic performance of automobile radiators is a key problem in the vehicle industry.
The methods of enhance the automobile radiator performance such as change the angle of the fin and shape, change the working fluid and coated surface. But the method of the coated surface cannot enhance the thermo-hydraulic performance for automobile radiator. Therefore, the objectives of this study will use carbon nanocapsules material coating to enhance the automobile radiator performance without increase the principle. And also enhance the anti-fouling and the corrosion resistant features of the automobile radiator.
This study used carbon nanocapsules material coating to enhance the automobile radiator performance of wave-fin and plate-fin. And use the wind tunnels, thermostatic water bath, data miner and differential pressure gauges to measurement the automobile radiator performance of coated and uncoated carbon nanocapsules material. Finally, investigate the effects of automobile radiator thermo-hydraulic performance in different air-side Reynolds number (Rea=0~6214.2) and water-side Reynolds number (Rew=1222.8~5502.8).
The results show that, the averaged heat transfer performances of wave-fin radiator with coating the carbon nanocapsules materials have 8-23% higher than without coating. The averaged heat transfer performances of plate-fin radiator coating the carbon nanocapsules materials have 5-17% higher than without coating. When the air-side flow field is laminar, the plate-fin of automobile radiator without coating which heat transfer performance will higher than wave-fin automobile radiator without coating (increase about 9%). When the air-side flow field is turbulence, the wave-fin of automobile radiator without coating which heat transfer performance will higher than plate-fin of automobile radiator without coating (increase about 12%). When the air-side flow field is laminar, the plate-fin of automobile radiator with coating which heat transfer performance will higher than wave-fin of automobile radiator with coating (increase about 5%). When the air-side flow field is turbulence, the wave-fin of automobile radiator with coating which heat transfer performance will higher than plate-fin of automobile radiator with coating (increase about 16%).
