Abstract
Piston is a component of reciprocating motors, reciprocating pumps, gas compressors and pneumatic cylinders, among other similar mechanisms. It is a moving component that is enclosed by a cylinder and is made of rigid gas piston rings. The piston converts the energy of the growing gases into mechanical energy. Drive the plunger in a cylinder liner or sleeve. Pistons are usually made of aluminum or cast-iron alloys. The main goal of the project is to design a 1300cc diesel engine piston for two cast iron and aluminum alloys. The relief models of the piston are designed using PRO-E. Designs are assessed by structural and thermal analysis using pressure and temperature respectively. The result is evaluated by determining the voltage, displacement, thermal gradient and thermal flow to determine the best design of the piston. Structural and thermal analysis is performed in ANSYS
