Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.

Abstract (eng):The overall goal of this Master thesis is to understand the process of heat rejection from the combustion chamber of diesel engine to the cooling oil and the influence of thermal barrier coating to the reduction of heat losses through a piston wall.
Two types of TBC are analysed in this project ceramics and air layer.
In order to do that 1D conduction model is developed in MATLAB.
The model is based on one dimensional conduction equation with boundary conditions considering convection on the left side and constant temperature of the cooling oil on the right side.

Partial differential equation is discretized using finite difference method.
Boundary conditions model in this thesis is a separate function which provide gas temperature and convective heat transfer coefficient to the main model.
Woschni correlation is used to obtain heat transfer coefficient since it seems to be accurate enough and demonstrates good results during the model validation.

Different simulations are performed using the model where the influence of thickness and thermo-mechanical properties of thermal barrier coating to the heat flux rejected from the combustion chamber is investigated.
The most important properties of ceramics influencing heat flux are heat conductivity, specific heat capacity and density.
Among other engine parameters varied in this project are engine speed and burn duration.

As the conclusion to the project economical justification is presented showing the potential of thermal barrier coating for the improvement not only thermal efficiency but also the cost reduction of the engine operation.
