Conclusion
The heat transfer processes for the radiator are analyzed in a real life situation. The objectives of the project, to find and compare the inlet and outlet temperatures of the fluids in the radiator, were accomplished successfully. There were numerous assumptions that were necessary to complete the theoretical calculations. Although these assumptions changed the final values for the theoretical outlet temperatures and heat transfer rate, the differences are expected. The theoretical values are good approximations of the real values found experimentally. When first analyzing the radiator, there were many challenges and obstacles that hindered the advancement of the project. These challenges presented the students with opportunities to learn from mistakes and link concepts into an integrated whole. This project provided an in depth understanding of the theoretical knowledge learned in heat transfer and offered a chance to use this information to solve real world problems.
