Abstract

Heat is a form of energy that very useful to human and sometimes being wasted. Almost all components of the engine produce a lot of heat during engine operation. Some of the heat will be use to generate extra power such as application of turbocharger. During turbocharger operation, heat will be developed in the housing of the turbocharger, and some of heat will be transfer to atmosphere. The project aim to minimize heat loss through a housing of the since heat is form of energy, it is expected that minimum of heat will be lead to higher efficiency of turbocharger. Therefore to prevent the heat being transfer to atmosphere, Thermal Barrier Coating is deposited on the surface of the housing turbocharger, a system exchange no heat with it surrounding, it can be use to operate the compressor than efficiency of engine will be increase. This project will be focusing on selected of the best material for TBC base on the general properties of thermal barrier coating such as low thermal conductivity, high resistance to spallation, good erosion resistance, phase stability and pore morphological stability. In this research/project by using the CES Edu Pack analysis it is found that Zirconia with Magnesia is the best of the material TBC for turbocharger application and it can reduce heat loss around 16.90%.
