It is a reciprocating part of the engine


Gas Forces and Thermal Forces Heat rejection and Cooling

Coupled Thermal Displacement Analysis

Steady State Heat Transfer


Contact conductance - Interaction

Gas Force on Piston Crown


Thermal Impact due to the exploding gases Heat rejection from the piston

Heat absorption by the coolant

The piston is just below the TDC The pressure applied is MEP

Max. Heat Flux occurs at the point of MEP


Coolant has homogenous thermal conductivity The system is surrounded by ambient air temperature
