ABSTRACT
Fluid Fluent analysis on the effect of combustion gases on the thermal performance of the cylinder block of a 0.67 hp petrol generator has been successfully carried out. It had become very stressful analysing internal combustion engines using trial-and-error experimental techniques. It was denying the automobile technology world the necessary understanding of the appropriate thermal conditions for engine components. The development of computational fluid dynamics and the finite element method is a breakthrough in the field of fluid mechanics. The Fluent fluid technique applied showed that the thermal performance was high, as obtained in the very high convergence given in the scaled residual plot. The governing equations were satisfied and duly applied to yield optimal thermal conditions. The pressure was higher at the inlet of the component, while low pressure was noticed at the fins. Similarly, a high temperature of 350 K was experienced at the inlet and a lower temperature of 300 K around the fin.
