Abstract

This paper presents a heat transfer analysis of a head gasket for an internal combustion (IC) engine. A steady state temperature analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of engine material on gasket temperature. Transient temperature analysis was also conducted to investigate temperature variations of gasket materials and the required time to reach steady state temperature. The transfer of heat from the combustion chamber into the wall (a positive heat flux) which occurs after the ignition and the reverse of this process during the expansion stroke (a negative heat flux) were mathematically represented using the Fourier series. © IMechE 2006.
