Modeling and CFD Simulation of EGR Cooler for CRDI Diesel Engine and Comparison of Various Inlet Manifold

Traditionally EGR cooler comes with single inlet for coolant. The CFD analysis is performed on EGR cooler of CRDI engine using different inlet configurations which is two, three and five. Thermal characteristics along with pressure and turbulence is studied which highly affects the heat transfer rate and effectiveness of cooler. The CFD analysis is performed using CFD code ANSYS CFX 14.0. Standard k-epsilon turbulence model
