THERMAL ANALYSISON PISTON OF VARIOUS MATERIALS AND COMPARISON WITH EACH OTHER’S BY USING FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE

This paper describes the Thermal(Steady state) analysis of cast iron, cast alloy steel and carbon graphite pistons by using finite element Analysis (FEA) .The parameters used for the simulation are operating gas temperature and material properties of pistons. The specifications used for the study of these pistons belong to four stroke 100cc hero bike engine. This paper illustrates the procedure for analytical design of cast iron , cast alloy steel and carbon graphite pistons using specifications of four stroke 100cc hero bike engine. The results predict the minimum and maximum value of GRADN: Resultant Temp Gradient on all of these pistons using FEAwith applied the temperature 100°C on the top of piston. The 3Dmodelling of piston is done inSolidworks (Feature module) and Simulation module was used to mesh the pistons, thermal analysis with temperature applied on the top of piston head
