Abstract :The major automobile component subject to high temperature variation and thermal stresses in engine cylinder. Fins are used on the surface of engine cylinder to increase the heat transfer rate. Heat rejection rate in engine cylinder fins can be enhanced by increasing its surface area. The objective of the present investigation is to examine the thermal properties by varying geometry, material and angle of cylinder fins using CATIA V5R21 and ANSYS15.0 work bench and the models are created by changing the geometry like rectangular, circular, angular and curved rectangular shaped fins. Static thermal analysis shows the distribution of temperature over the surface of the fins and the precise thermal simulation is very useful to identify the design parameters for improved life. The observations from the present investigation work, Aluminium Alloy 6061 showing higher temperature distribution compared to other Aluminium Alloy. All the materials are showing linear distribution of temperature alongside the length of fins. Also, the circular fins increase the efficiency of the engine by reducing the weight of the engine.
