EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF THERMAL BARRIER COATING IN TWO STROKE SI ENGINE

Thermal power Engineering (mechanical engineering)

The demand for energy is increasing day by day . The world is depending mostly on fossil fuels to face this energy needs. The increase in standard of living demands better mode of transport , hence a large number of automobile companies has been introduced. Automobiles provide better transport but the combustion of fuel in automobile engine creates harmful effluents, which has an adverse effect on water and air. Combustion generated pollution is by far the largest man made contribution to atmosphere pollution. The principle pollutants emitted by the automobile engines are CO,NOX,HC and particulates. The modern day automobiles is a result of several technological improvements that have happened over the years and would continue to do so to meet the performance demands of exhaust- gas Emissions , fuel consumption, power output, convenience and safety . In order to reduce emissions and increasing engine performance , modern car engines carefully designed to control the amount of fuel they burn. An effective way for reducing automotive emission and increase engines performance is accomplished by coating automobile piston head with low thermal conductivity material such as ceramic. This process is known as Thermal Barrier Coating(TBC) and this experimental analysis deals with its analysis.
