In today’s world, automobile radiators are becoming extremely important in terms of performance of vehicleand maximum heat dissipation, also they are highly power-packed with increasing power to weight or volume ratio. Theflow behaviour & temperature profile prediction in the radiator tubes are very useful information & is of great importanceto the designer. CFD is very useful tool in accessing the preliminary design and performance of the radia tor. In this paper,the model was done Pro-E software and imported in ANSYS-12. The analysis was done in CFX for considering straighttube and helical tube configuration. The coolant considered as an Ethylene Glycol. The overall pressure & temperaturedistribution of the coolant was evaluated for both straight tube & helical tube used in radiator. The maximum temperaturedrop occurs in the helical tubes compared to the straight tube. In case of helical tubes more heat dissipation occurs in the15mm pitch compared to 20mm pitch.
