Thermal analysis for internal combustion cylinder block

Abstract

This paper presents a simulation and analysis for the thermal stresses of the internal combustion engine and analyzed its effects on cylinders and engine performance. The main aim of this paper is to make a simulation and analysis of the thermal stresses affect internal combustion engine or thermal fatigue. A simulation using Solidworks is used here to analyze the thermal stresses of ICE problem. It is found that the thermal stresses of cast carbon are of smaller value than that of the alloy steel. Thermal displacements and strains of alloy steel blocks are smaller than that of cast carbon. Cooling contributes in reducing thermal stresses, strains and displacements on both different blocks.
