Efficiency of Nano Ceramic Coated and Turbocharged Internal Combustion Engine- A Review

Abstract

Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) often denotes the ceramic/Nano ceramic insulation layered to the surface of the engine or any other parts to enhance the thermal insulation characteristics by increasing efficiency and minimizing the need of cooling system. Above all, load and speed of the engine is optimized with respect to output power, volumetric efficiency and exhaust control. Insulation of combustion chamber with ceramic enhances its efficiency and it is also significant in terms of pollution control and fatigue lifespan. On account of these, this article reviews a list of papers that contribute in studies, where the influence of nano ceramic coating and the use of turbocharging mechanism in optimization of engine performance are described.
