I was tasked with the design of a combustion chamber and the study of changing ring land geometries. Combustion chambers of automobiles generate a significant amount of heat, which engines, whether air or water-cooled, must dissipate to ensure proper function and avoid overheating. The study was designed to analyze the effect of changing piston ring protrusion from its seated position, changing ring land thickness, and the spacing between each ring. The combustion chamber also had a simulated coolant flow to replicate that of a real combustion chamber with a cooling jacket.
Effects from the changing ring geometries were discovered, including findings like thinner rings resulting in less heat transfer to the combustion chamber wall simply due to less surface area making contact, however higher temperatures were also found on the edges of this did not account for the decreased friction of the piston rings during combustion however.
