Automotive Can Two Radiators Efficiently Cool a Suzuki 800cc Engine?

AI Thread Summary
Using two radiators for a Suzuki 800cc engine is feasible, especially given space constraints for a single larger radiator. The original radiator dissipates 45.126 kW, while two Kawasaki Ninja 250R radiators can provide approximately 46 kW combined, making them a suitable alternative. The discussion raises the question of whether to configure the radiators in series or parallel, impacting overall cooling efficiency. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences and calculations regarding heat dissipation and coolant flow rates to aid in decision-making. Effective cooling is crucial for performance in events like SUPRASAE 2012.

I want to use 2 radiators instead of a single radiator for cooling a maruti suzuki 800cc engine. The reason? we are participating in SUPRASAE 2012 and our space for the radiator is limited(we can't accommodate the 300*335 mm radiators but we can accommodate two radiators within 200*300 mm). Can anyone please suggest?
Heat dissipation by the original radiator = 45.126 kW
Flow rate of coolant= 0.922 kg/s
Velocity of the coolant = 0.8 m/s
We were thinking of 2 kawasaki ninja 250R radiators each with a heat dissipation capacity of approx. 23 kW.
Also if 2 radiators are used, should they be in series or parallel?

i am too stuck in a similar situation..have u arrived at any conclusion yet?
& how did u decide the specification u stated..like the heat dissipation rate, coolant flow rate, speed..?:confused::confused:
 

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...

Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
