    The document summarizes a finite element analysis (FEA) thermal analysis of a piston using ANSYS. It describes how the piston was modeled in CAD software and imported into ANSYS Workbench for meshing and setting up the thermal analysis. A time transient thermal analysis was performed to simulate heat addition in the piston deck region over 600 seconds. Convection and fixed constraints were also applied. The results provided the temperature rise in the piston and corresponding stresses from a coupled thermal-stress analysis.

    FEA THERMAL ANALYSIS OF PISTON USING ANSYS

    By: Sardar Umair Ashraf


    Roll No. 12-ME-59

    1.0 INTRODUCTION
    A piston is a component of reciprocating engines, reciprocating pumps, gas compressors and
    pneumatic cylinders, among other similar mechanisms. It is the moving component that is
    contained by a cylinder and is made gas-tight by piston rings.

    Fig 1.1 : Piston Terminology


    Thermal analysis of piston plays a crucial role in the designing of the autothermic piston to
    determine the ovality and linearity of the piston. The ovality and linearity needs to be
    determined to obtain a circular piston diametrically when heated during the running of engine
    for a prolonged period, also giving clearances in the skirt region for proper lubrication.

    2.0 PISTON SELECTED FOR ANALYSIS


    The piston diagram was obtained by survey of the various internet sites and the CAD model
    of the piston was modeled in autodesk inventor and exported in .iges format.

    3.0 MESHING THE PISTON


    The piston was meshed using the following settings in ANSYS workbench. A tetrahedron
    mesh was formulated with maximum mesh quality to be less than 1 to ensure the convergence
    of the problem.

    4.0 SETTING UP ANALYSIS


    A time transient thermal analysis was formulated to simulated a heat addition in the piston
    such that the heat developed is applied in the piston deck region. The image shows the heat
    flow of 8KW as applied.

    Figure 4.1 : Heat Flow at the deck of the piston


    A convection was applied as shown in the image below with the convection rate assumed to
    be 1.2e-3 W/mm2 oC.

    Figure 4.2 : Convection applied on the piston surface

    A fixed constraint was considered at the place where the gudgeon pin sits. The image below
    shows the constraint as taken.

    5.0 RESULTS
    The whole thermal analysis was carried out carried out to simulate a period of 600 seconds.
    The temperature rise was obtained by the thermal analysis and respective stress was obtained
    by carrying out a coupled time transient thermal analysis for same time period.
