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 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
