THERMAL AND STRESS DISTRIBUTION OF DIFFERENT I.C. ENGINE PISTON COMBUSTION CHAMBERS USING 3-D FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS METHOD

Dr .G.R.Kannan , Anoop Aravind

In this study, Work is carried out to find out the thermal and stress distribution on different Piston combustion chambers. In IC engine, Piston is one of the most important and complex part, Hence, it is important to maintain Piston in good condition in order to maintain the proper functioning of the engine.Piston mainly fails due to thermal as well as Mechanical stress. In order to find out proper thermal distribution as well as Mechanical stress four different Combustion Chambers are considered . In this study analysis is carried out on four different Piston head by using ANSYS (APDL11.0) Software and modeling is done with the heip of 3-D Proe Wild fire5.0 software. The different combustion chambers namely Shallow Depth Chamber, Hemispherical Chamber, Cylindrical Chamber and Toroidal Chamber of the four different vehicles Tata Indica CS, Tata 407 Truck, Mahindra Maximo and Tata Sumo Grande2.2L DICOR, are investigates. It is found that Toroidal Combustion Chamber- Piston showed better temperature as well as stress distribution
