In this research, a new exhaust manifold and its cooling jackets is first designed for the integrated exhaust manifold into cylinder head (IEMCH) for a turbocharged engine. Then, the gas exchange and flow analysis is carried out numerically to evaluate the proper conditions for the exhaust gas and the coolant stream respectively. Finally, the entire engine parts are thermally analyzed to assure...

Marine diesel engines’ parts are under various loads, usually time-varying, during their normal operation. This causes complex dynamical state of stress, and can produce unwanted high deformations and degradation of material, give a rise to critical crack growth and, finally, to failure of one or more of the engine parts.. The effect is further emphasized by marine atmosphere. This paper propos...

In this paper, the authors investigated the various factors, which can affect the performance of a turbofan engine. For this, the various subunits of a turbofan engine like inlet duct, compressor, combustion chamber, liner, turbine, exhaust nozzle etc. are investigated to find its various reliability characteristics through Markov process and supplementary variable technique (SVT). The main adv...

Shrinking the engine has been a great interest for many years. Providing more amount of heat transfer may supply possibilities for size reduction in engine parts specifically the engine water jacket that is of concentration for the present study. Boiling phenomenon, by providing more amounts of heat transfer in comparison with single-phase, provides conditions for size reduction. In this paper ...

A high quality UV-lithographic process for making high aspect ratio micro reciprocating engine parts on ultra-thick SU8 photoresist CO2 is described. The research work is part of an on-going microengine research project at the University of Birmingham. The project aims to develop a compact power plant for driving MEMS devices and replacing batteries. The novelty of engine design is that the eng...

Most of internal combustion engines have one or two heat shields that have been installed on the exhaust manifold to avoid the heat transfer to upper parts of the engine such as the valve cover. In some engines, this part fails due to the fracture and causes engine noise and other failures in the engine. In this paper, the failure of a heat shield due to vibrational loads of the engine has been...
