Algorithm for calculating finned plate radiators for the cooling system of automobile and tractor engines

The article describes the role of the radiator of the engine cooling system of automobiles and tractors, and disadvantages of the copper-soldered radiators design. In the creation of modern automobiles and tractors, it is necessary to develop radiator with optimal parameters in which the heat transfer process satisfies the existent condition. Main parameters of the radiator are: size, power consumption to overcome resistances, energy coefficient, and amount of heat released to the atmosphere. Equations to use in the development of an algorithm for water radiator calculation made from finned plates are suggested. The block diagram used to the development of the algorithm for calculating water radiator made from finned plates and calculation results compared with experimental data.
