Method for determining the temperature fields of the spark plug

Abstract

This article examines the main factors that determine the thermal performance of a spark plug in the temperature range from 300 to 2500 Kelvin. The optimal value of the temperature of the heat cone was determined. A technique and algorithms for the numerical simulation of the thermal state of a spark plug are presented. These made it possible to calculate the dependence of the thermal conductivity coefficient of ceramic elements of a plug and the specific heat capacity of ceramic insulator on temperature. The calculation of the working cycle in the engine cylinder was carried out. The calculation of the temperature distribution of heat fluxes in the elements of the spark plug design was performed.

The assessment of the thermal characteristics of the spark plug is carried out by the method of numerical modeling of the operating cycle of an internal combustion engine. The calculation of the instantaneous temperature distribution in the body of the spark plug and on its surface is carried out. Calculations of the intensity of heat fluxes between the spark plugs and adjacent parts of the working fluid were carried out.

The modeling of the operating cycle for various operating modes of the engine was made. The temperature fields of the spark plugs were determined. An array of initial data for calculating the temperature fields of the spark plug was formed. Dependences of the temperature of the working fluid in the vicinity of the spark plug on the angle of rotation of the crankshaft are determined. The harmonic components of the heat transfer coefficients between the working fluid and the cylinder fire guard (Voshni coefficient) are considered. The harmonic components of the heat flux density are considered. Calculations of the heat field of the spark plug are carried out for various operating modes of the engine, using the finite element method. The calculation of the temperature field of the spark plug by the finite element method was carried out using ANSYS, SolidWorks, Inventor, etc.
