Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 1RQ
What is the most efficient way to increase a radiators efficiency?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To increase a radiator’s efficiency the most efficient way that is used.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The temperature difference between the coolant and air passing through.
Explanation of Solution
The function of a radiator is to transfer heat from the engine to the atmosphere or the air passing through it. There are two types of radiators depending on the flow of coolant inside the radiator, viz. down flow and crossflow radiators. The efficiency of the radiator depends on a number of factors: the area of contact, the temperature difference, and the coolant capacity. The area of the radiator depends on its design and compactness of the engine whereas the difference in temperature depends upon the coolant inside the radiator and the temperature of the cooling air passing through it. The efficiency also depends on the pumping power as higher pumping force to reduce the coolant temperature faster, but it also needs higher energy to run the pump.
Conclusion:
As the area and other design parameters of a radiator depend on various aspects, the efficiency of the radiator depends on the temperature difference between the coolant and air passing through.

Assume three cases of damping ratio: Case (A) ξ = 0%; Case (B) ξ = 2%; Case (C) ξ = 5%. The systems are initially at rest. Thus, the initial conditions are u(t = 0) = 0 and ̇u(t = 0) = 0. The systems are subjected to the base acceleration that was provided in the ElCentro.txt file (i.e., first column). For the systems in Case (A), Case (B), and Case (C) and for each natural period compute the peak acceleration, peak velocity, and peak displacement responses to the given base excitation. Please, use the Newmark method for β = 1/4 (average acceleration) to compute the responses. Create three plots with three lines in each plot. The first plot will have the peak accelerations in y-axis and the natural period of the system in x-axis. The second plot will have the peak velocities in y-axis and the natural period of the system in x-axis. The third plot…arrow_forward
