Abstract

Introduction: Fractal geometries have demonstrated their efficiency in nature, for that reason a fractal geometry will be implemented to improve the transfer in a heat exchanger. This paper presents the design of the radiator for an internal combustion engine, where the location of the tubes through which the fluid passes are given by the distribution of Sierpinski and the perforations of the fins were made with fractal convolution. The outlet temperature respect to inlet temperature is studied and analyzed through a CFD software. This document shows theory fundamental used to design the radiator, with the implemented methodology, its results and conclusions.
