A combination of a fuel injector with staggered nozzle hole arrangement with a combustion
chamber divided into upper and lower layers by placing a lip at the middle of the side wall is …

Simultaneous measurements of global engine heat transfer and subsurface piston
temperatures were utilized to evaluate the potential of an extended duration combustion …

Five different commercially available high-temperature martensitic steels were evaluated for
use in a heavy-duty diesel engine piston application and compared to existing piston alloys …

Heat transfer between combustion gases and walls is one of the most important phenomena
for internal combustion engines; however, its mechanisms have not yet been elucidated …

Fatigue analysis of pistons is reliant on an accurate representation of the high temperatures
to which they are exposed. It can be difficult to represent this accurately, because …

Understanding the transient heat transfer mechanism of impinging flames is a crucial
pathway for further improving the thermal efficiency of already efficient compression ignition …

A major concern for a high-power density, heavy-duty engine is the durability of its
components, which are subjected to high thermal loads from combustion. The thermal loads …

Abstract Design of internal combustion (IC) engine pistons is dependent on accurate
prediction of the temperature field in the component. Experimental temperature …

In military applications, diesel engines are required to achieve high power outputs and
therefore must operate at high loads. This high load operation leads to high piston …
