Download or read book A Method for Correlating the Cooling Data of Liquid-cooled Engines and Its Application to the Allison V-3420-11 Engine written by George F. Kinghorn and published by . This book was released on 1945 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Tests of an Allison V-3420-11 engine have been made to check the accuracy of the equation and to establish the cooling characteristics of the engine. By determining the few constants of the equation, the heat rejection to the coolant may be predicted with good accuracy for any particular engine operating condition. The tests showed that the rate of heat dissipation to the coolant was only slightly affected by either the rate of coolant flow or the relative proportions of ethylene glycol and water composing the coolant mixture.
