A study has been made of the heat-transfer processes in liquid-cooled engines and an equation has been developed that relates the heat rejection to the coolant and the engine operating conditions.
An analysis based on forced-convection heat-transfer theory, similar to the analysis presented for air-cooled engines in NACA Report No. 612, is made of the cooling processes in liquid-cooled engine cylinders.
All the cylinder-temperature data and all of the coolant-heat-rejection data, except those for which boiling of the coolant was most severe, were satisfactorily correlated.
The ultimate guide to engine cooling systems for peak performance.Covers basic theory and modifications; individual components such as water pump, radiator, and thermostatic control systems; and information on designing a cooling system.
