Heat Transfer Rates at Gas-Wall Interfaces in Motored Piston Engine

Instantaneous heat transfer rates at the interface of the working gas and the walls of a motored engine were studied. This paper details the influence on heat fluxes of engine speed, compression ratio, intake pressure, swirl ratio, location on the cylinder head surface, and the shape of the piston top. Equations are given to show the method of calculation used in deriving the data on heat transfer rates.
