THERMAL MANAGEMENT IN ENGINE PISTONS: EFFECTS OF FIN TYPE AND SLOTTING

Fins are crucial components used to enhance heat transfer between two fluids or between a solid and a fluid. These extended surfaces come in various forms, including angular, circular, and rectangular fins. In automotive engineering, the piston chamber is a critical component subjected to extreme thermal shocks and prone to thermal stresses. To mitigate these issues and improve engine

THE IMPACT OF HEAT SUPPLY TECHNIQUES ON THE THERMAL DEFORMATION OF SHIELD MATERIALS

This study investigates the thermal deformation behavior of a laminated thermal shield material, specifically a fiberglass composite polymer based on a phenol-formaldehyde matrix, under conditions of uniform and one-sided heating at rates reaching 600°C/min. The research focuses on the kinetics of thermal deformation in response to elevated temperatures and high gas flow conditions (up to
