Performance and Characterization of 4-Stroke Diesel Engine Using Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO₂) Coated Piston of Various Thickness

Abstract:

It is ended that from past few decades the consumption of fossil fuel as measuring at faster rates in order to satisfy the needs of mankind. Many researches are working in the process of measuring the efficiency of the engine. Thermal coating is a process applying a layer of coated materials on the surface of any metallic part. In this project working of the zirconium di oxide (ZrO₂) is used on coated material and NiCrAl is used on subtract material. A 0.1mm layer of zirconium di oxide is coated on top surface of the piston then the performance of the IC engine is evaluated. The performance parameter of the coated piston is compared with performance parameter of uncoated piston. The material efficiency and Brake power of the coated piston is expected to increase, since the melting point temperature of zirconium di oxide is more than 2500 degree Celsius.
