In an internal combustion engine, the cylinder head (often informally abbreviated to just head) sits above the cylinders on top of the cylinder block. It closes in the top of the cylinder, forming the combustion chamber. This joint is sealed by a head gasket. In most engines, the head also provides space for the passages that feed air and fuel to the cylinder, and that allow the exhaust to escape. The head can also be a place to mount the valves, spark plugs, and fuel injectors. The major automobile component subject to high temperature variation and thermal stress is 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, and material cylinder fins using solid works and Ansys work bench and the models are created by changing the geometry like (i) no of fins (ii) fin thickness (iii) gap between fins.
