Modeling and Thermal Conduction and Static Analysis of an IC Engine Piston using CATIA V5 Tool and ANSYS

Abstract

In now a days technology, diesel engine plays an important role in the transportation sector, agriculture pumping sets etc, where large amount of diesel consumed. But according to the ministry of petroleum, the petroleum fuels will last in few years. So, one must concentrate much on the diesel engine modifications so that the amount of fuel consumption and the environmental pollutions can be reduced. The temperature distribution in the piston is a crucial parameter which influences the thermal stress and deformations in the piston materials. So in the present work I tried thermal conductivity and static analysis on cast iron, aluminium and brass materials based pistons.
