A methodology for characterizing the thermal behavior of internal combustion engine components and systems

A systematic methodology for characterizing the thermal behavior of internal combustion engine components and systems is presented. The approach integrates a thermodynamic-based engine simulation, a finite element model of combustion chamber components in sliding motion, and a resistor-capacitor thermal model of the engine system. This thesis describes the development of this methodology, its validation against analytical and experimental results, and its application to illustrative problems related to thermal management in diesel and spark-ignition engines.
