DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF DIESEL ENGINE PISTON BY FEA FOR DIFFERENT PISTON HEAD GEOMETRY

Piston is an important part of engine, which reciprocates inside the engine cylinder by application of pressure causes due to combustion of fuel inside engine cylinder. As engine have evolved over the years, piston have evolved with them. They are getting shorter and lighter, and use smaller skirts cylindrical “body” of the piston. Never pistons are obtained made of aluminum alloy, which increases strength of piston. One of the biggest advancement in piston technology is use of piston “tops” or “crowns”, the part that enters the combustion chamber and is subjected to combustion. While older piston tops mainly flat, many now features bowls on top that have different effect on combustion process
