Singhal* (Consulting Engineer in Fluid Dynamics, Combustion and Heat Transfer) about 9% (Click here) This heat transfer analysis suggest however that more heat can be obtained from the engineâs exhaust gases. For example, this analysis does not include – Employing metal extrusions extending as fingers inside the water jacket from the exhaust deflector. – Heat that could be obtained from the rear exhaust deflector cover. – The employment of gas to liquid heat exchanger at advantageous locations.
