Thermal Management Coatings for High Performance Diesel Engines

Abstract

These funds are for Dr. Sanjay Sampath. The Center for Thermal Spray Research (CTSR) at Stony Brook University, in partnership with US Army Tank Automotive Research and Development Center (TARDEC), proposes to evaluate novel multilayer, multifunctional thermal management coatings to enable improved performance and efficiencies of diesel engines. In this effort, CTSR proposes to developseveral variants of a novel, low thermal inertia, (combined low thermal conductivity and volumetric specific heat) coatings through an iterative design, evaluation and optimization loop. With the premise that no single material can readily provide the requisite thermal inertia and surface thermal properties to adequately address all of the transient requirements, the concept will rely on strategically utilizing, thermal barrier materials (various types of low conductivity ceramics), incorporating process induced porosity as an effective thermal barrier and also provide the requisite low heat capacity to enable temperature swing and strategically depositing high conductivity heat spreaders to move allow more effective temperature swing and also remove residual heat from the air intake locations. using available manufacturing derived concepts and material architecture to impart location specific thermal characteristics.
