FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF GASOLINE ENGINE PISTON USING REINFORCED ALUMINUM METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES A.Prathyusha

Abstract – As the efficiency norms are becoming stringent day by day, the engine manufacturers are concentrating more on engine efficiency. For effective combustion system, various parameters like combustion pressure, compression ratio, proper fuel mixing and ignition timing etc. are very important. In this scenario, lot of research has been carried out on arriving at a piston design which can give effective fuel mixing, high compression ratio using a re-entrant combustion bowl shape. For thermal analysis of piston, basic necessary thermal boundary conditions like bulk gas temperatures and heat transfer coefficient
