Heat transfer by convection between a surface and the fluid surrounding
can be increased by attaching to the surface called fins. The heat conducted
through solids, walls, or boundaries has to be continuously dissipated to
the surroundings or environment to maintain the system in a steady state
condition. The cylinder of the engine is one of the key components of the
vehicle and is prone to maximum temperature variation and thermal
stress. To cool the cylinder, the cylinder fin is designed to improve the
heat transfer rate. Thermal analysis is done on the engine cylinder fins; it
is very useful to understand the heat dissipation in the cylinder. The idea
applied in this project is to increase the heat dissipation rate by using
intangible working fluid, just air. It is understood that the heat dissipation
rate is increased by changing the surface region; therefore, it is very
challenging to design such a huge complicated engine. In this project, the
analysis of the engine fin is carried out for different geometries such as
Rectangular, Triangular, convex, and Tapered fin. A 3D model is created
in SolidWorks and analysis is done using ANSYS Software in steady state
condition. The material used for the fin body is Al6063. The result is
compared to find the best geometry which gives the maximum heat flux.

I. INTRODUCTION
The main design of a combustion engine has not
changed for 100 years just the efficiency increases
every time. Internal Combustion Engines means the
combustion takes place internally inside the engine in
the cylinder liner. The fire triangle for combustion
consists of Oxygen, Fuel, and Heat. There are two types
of the engine like 2- strokes generally used in petrol
engines (for diesel it’s only in large ships). In this
system, the crankshaft rotates once and the piston
moves twice in the cylinder space. They are cheap and
create a lot of smoke and aren’t that efficient 4 stoke.
The other 4 Stroke Engines – are heavy and very
