TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-linked Equations (SIMPLE) to model the interaction between pressure and velocity, and the energy variables were solved using the second order upwind scheme.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors addressed the issue related with the challenges associated with the plasma spraying of consistent and adherent TBC on Al-9% Si research pistons and its complex contours by APS, subjecting the coated pistons to thermal fatigue tests and evaluation of the coating characteristics after subjecting to vibration.

TL;DR: In this article, thermal barrier coating (TBC) development on aluminium - silicon (Al-Si) alloy casting materials, widely used as automobile components (cylinder blocks, pistons etc.). TBCs enable enhanced combustion within the chambers of diesel engines resulting in improved performance and component life.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of thermal barrier coatings on a flat plate machined from Al-11Si alloy diesel engine pistons was investigated using a Scanning Electron Microscope attached with Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy facility.

TL;DR: In this article, an electric heater was used to heat the entire surface of a flat plate of Aluminium 11% Silicon alloy removed from diesel engine pistons and the results obtained by studying the thermal barrier effects across TBCs by using the electrical heating source that provided the heat on the surface in a controlled and uniform manner.
