Design And Development Of Automatic Braking And Cooling System

Abstract

An ultrasonic car braking system includes; an ultrasonic wave emitter provided in a front portion of an automatic braking car producing and emitting ultrasonic waves frontward in a predetermined distance in front of the car. Ultrasonic receiver also formed in a front portion of the car operatively receiving a reflective ultrasonic wave signal as reflected by obstacles positioned within the pre determined distance in front of the automatic braking car. The reflected wave (detection pulse) was measured to get the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle. Most internal combustion engines are water cooled or a liquid coolant run through a heat exchanger (radiator) cooled by air. In air cooling system, heat is carried away by the air flowing over and around the cylinder. Here fins are cast on the cylinder head and cylinder barrel which provide additional conductive and radiating surface. In water-cooling system of cooling engines, the cylinder walls and heads are provided with jacket through which the cooling liquid can circulate. An internal combustion engine produces power by burning fuel within the cylinders; therefore, it is often referred to as a "heat engine." However, only about25% of the heat is converted to useful power. What happens to the remaining 75 percent? Thirty to thirty-five percent of the heat produced in the combustion chambers by the burning fuel are dissipated by the cooling system along with the lubrication and fuel systems. Forty to forty- five percent of the heat produced passes out with the exhaust gases. If this heat were not removed quickly, overheating and extensive damage would result. Valves would burn and warp, lubricating oil would break down, pistons and bearing would overheat and seize, and the engine would soonstop.The necessity for cooling may be emphasized by considering the total heat developed by an ordinary six-cylinder engine.
