Abstract

The need for basic design information regarding the cooling of high performance internal combustion engine exhaust valves has initiated the heat transfer study of a hollow reciprocating valve partially filled with a liquid. The term "cocktail shaker" heat transfer is used as a descriptive abbreviation. Empirical methods have resulted in four correlating equations for the heat transfer rates at the cavity end and side wall. Two equations are applicable in correlating the heat transfer rates at the cavity end and two for the heat transfer rates at the cavity side wall. These correlating equations can be μsed in the cooling design of internal combustion engine exhaust valves which are cooled by "cocktail shaking".
