INFLUENCE OF CONTACT HEAT EXCHANGE ON THE THERMAL MODE OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES
The process of heat exchange through the contact zone of periodically contacting metal surfaces is considered. A technique is proposed for determining the thermal contact resistance in the application to the contact face of the exhaust face-seat chamfer in piston diesel engines. It has been shown experimentally the possibility of reducing the thermal resistance in the joint connections of the exhaust valve-saddle by electroplating the chamfer to the chamfer of the copper coating.
