Abstract :
This paper presents the heat transfer model of magnet housing in the linear combustion engine incorporating a combustion chamber and a kickback chamber.The heat transfer has been analyzed for the magnet and coils according to heat conducted from combustion and generated by current flowing through coils. By using the finite element method the problem has been analyzed using thermal analysis. The temperature distribution in magnet surrounding is considered.The results show that most of heat comes from the combustion chamber.The heat generated by the coils can rise the magnet temperature. The temperatures in the magnet are between 375K and 382K.
