Experimental Investigation of Piston Heat Transfer in a Light Duty Engine

Abstract

Experiments were conducted in a light-duty single-cylinder engine based on the General Motors/Fiat JTD 1.9L four-cylinder diesel engine. A stock four cylinder head was installed atop a single cylinder block. Valves for cylinder #2 were activated by the dual overhead cams. The valvetrain for the remaining three cylinders was deactivated by removing the valve rocker arms.
