Background/Objectives: Engine produces high amount of heat while running. This can raise the engine temperature to very high level and can damage or seize the engine components. Hence for the safety of engine components, it needs to run at much lower temperature, which is called engine working temperature. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Radiator plays a vital role in engine cooling system. When increasing the cooling efficiency of radiator causes increase the life time of engine. The efficiency of the radiator can be increased by changing the surface area or dimension of the tube or increasing the number of fins/tubes. The heat transfer rate for the existing radiator could be analyzed. Findings: After analyzing the existing radiator, the new radiator has been designed. Two flat plates are placing inside the tube which acts as the nozzle. Hence, nozzle velocity increases and pressure decreases. Pressure is directly proportional to temperature. Application/ Improvements: Thus, the temperature of coolant inside the radiator decreases. As a result efficiency of the proposed radiator is increased 5.37% when comparing with existing method.
