Computer Simulation of Automotive Cooling Systems

Abstract

<div class="htmlview paragraph">Mathematical modeling of conventional automotive type cooling systems has been developed at Chevrolet for vehicle design and evaluation. Solution methods are based on system air and coolant side interrelationships. The computer program utilizes either experimental, analytically derived, or empirically calculated steady-state performance characteristics for system components. Typical examples of application to design problems and parametric studies are included in the presentation.</div>
