Recently due to advancements, methods like water cooling and oil cooling have also been used with the
method of air cooling that has been implemented since many years. The cooling mechanism mainly involves radiator,
pipes for supplying coolant, fittings and thermostat. But the whole mechanism works mainly on the design of automobile
radiator. Nowadays many improvements have been made like using of a specific coolant having desired properties, or
using a radiator of definite cross-section, or using nano fluids for effective cooling. But here this research mainly focuses
on units employing air cooling and using aluminum tubes in radiator. This design focuses mainly on usage of circular
cross-section of the radiator which offers many advantages. Hence this portion would be deeply discussed in the paper.
