Abstract
In this study performance evaluation and testing of the heat exchanger (radiator)
are done using wind tunnel test rig facility because all internal combustion engines
produce heat as a byproduct of combustion of fuel and friction of moving parts. This
heat can reach temperatures up to 1925°C (3500°F) and can cause catastrophic
damage to the engine components. Furthermore, it can have negative effects on the
engine such as reduction in engine performance and shortening of engine’s service
life, therefore cooling systems must be accurately designed, tested, operated and
maintained for optimum engine life and smooth operation.
