An Investigation of Metal and Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coatings in a Spark-ignition Engine

Surface temperature and heat flux measurements were made in a single cylinder SI engine piston when uncoated and with two different surface coatings: a metal TBC and YSZ. A new thermocouple was developed to accurately measure surface temperatures. The engine was operated in a standard full load mo...
