design and thermal analysis of i.c engine piston

this project mainly deals with the design and analysis of I.C engine piston. Piston is a component of reciprocating engines, reciprocating pumps, gas compressors and pneumatic cylinders among other similar mechanisms.in an engine, its purpose is to transfer force from expanding gas in the cylinder to the crankshaft via a piston rod or connecting rod. Here the piston is designed, analysed and the manufacturing process has been studied. Piston temperature has considerable influence on efficiency, emission, performance of the engine. Purpose of the investigation is measurement of piston transient temperature at several points on the piston, from cold start to steady condition and comparison with the results of finite element analysis.in this project the piston is modelled and assembled with the help of CATIA software and component is meshed and analysis is done in ANSYS software and the thermal and static behaviour is studied and the results are tabulated. The various two materials aluminium alloy A360 and alloy 242.in this project work has been taken up on the following aspects to cover the research gaps to present the results based on the systematic studies. Temperature distribution and heat flow through the piston of the engine, FEA analysis of the piston to measure temperature at the points where it is not possible to find out practically and to observe the heat flow inside the piston.
