IC ENGINE WET LINERS THERMAL ANALYSIS

In practical only 52% of the heat input is converted into work in diesel engine . About an equal amount of heat is carried away by cooling system and the remaining heat is lost in exhaust and friction. The main objective of this project is to study the performance of the diesel engine by changing the cylinder wall material. About 2500°F temperature is produced while combustion process in internal combustion engine with diesel as fuel. In this combustion process approximately 35% of heat is lost through the cylinder walls; heat transfer in excess to the coolant will also reduce the engine performance. The scope of this project is to select proper material for the cylinder liners, so that the heat loss through liner wall in IC engine can be reduced. To achieve this low thermal conductivity materials with required mechanical properties is considered and compared.
