Abstract
This study investigated the feasibility of using reinforced periwinkle shell as a novel material for Nissan bus pistons. The project involves the design, finite element analyses of two pistons: one made from reinforced periwinkle shell and the other from standard piston material. The results show that the reinforced periwinkle shell piston exhibits exceptional thermal performance, with a minimum heat flux of -1.5844e7 W/m² and a maximum heat flux of 1.5829e7 W/m². In contrast, the standard piston material exhibits a minimum heat flux of -2.4904e7 W/m² and a maximum heat flux of 2.4904e7 W/m². The reinforced periwinkle shell piston also demonstrated improved durability and lifespan, with a thermal conductivity of 15 W/mK. The findings of this study highlight the potential of reinforced periwinkle shell as a sustainable and high-performance material for automotive applications, offering improved engine efficiency, reduced emissions, and enhanced overall performance.
