Design and Analysis of Compressor Fins Thermal Distribution
A thermal analysis of air compressor cylinder fins. Rectangular, triangular, concave and convex fin profiles in aluminium nitride and aluminium alloy A204 are modelled and simulated, showing that concave A204 fins transfer more heat with less weight.

How the Design and Analysis of Compressor Fins Thermal Distribution works
- The mild steel frame and fabrication forms the base that carries every other part, so it is designed first from the load and size of the machine.
- The Air compressor supplies compressed air.
- The parts are assembled, aligned and tested under load, and the readings are recorded for the results chapter.

Mechanical viva questions on this project
What is the aim of the Design and Analysis of Compressor Fins Thermal Distribution project?
A thermal analysis of air compressor cylinder fins. Rectangular, triangular, concave and convex fin profiles in aluminium nitride and aluminium alloy A204 are modelled and simulated, showing that concave A204 fins transfer more heat with less weight.
Explain the working of your project in short.
The mild steel frame and fabrication forms the base that carries every other part, so it is designed first from the load and size of the machine. The Air compressor supplies compressed air. The parts are assembled, aligned and tested under load, and the readings are recorded for the results chapter.
What is the working pressure in a student pneumatic project?
Usually 4–6 bar. Force = pressure × piston area, so a 25 mm bore at 6 bar gives about 290 N.
Why is mild steel used for the frame?
It is cheap, strong, easy to cut and weld and widely available. A frame of 25 mm square pipe is enough for most student models.
Which material did you select for the main parts and why?
Mild steel (MS) is used for the frame because it is strong, cheap, easy to cut and weld and available everywhere. Shafts are made of EN8 or bright mild steel for strength, and parts that do not carry load can be aluminium or acrylic to reduce weight.
What factor of safety did you take in your design?
A factor of safety of 2 to 3 is taken for static parts and 3 to 5 for parts under shock or fatigue loading. Allowable stress = yield strength ÷ factor of safety, and each part is checked against it.
How did you estimate the cost of the project?
The cost is the sum of raw material, bought-out parts, machining or fabrication and overheads. Our estimate for this model is about ₹8,100 to ₹11,900, depending on size, material and the workshop rates in your city.
Which manufacturing processes were used?
Cutting and grinding of sections, arc or MIG welding of the frame, drilling for mounting holes, followed by assembly, alignment and painting.
