The main aim of this paper is to determine temperature distribution in a four-stroke, single-cylinder, water cooled, variable compression ratio (3-9), variable speed (2200-3000 rpm) spark ignition engine with brake power of kW at a speed of 3000 rpm with copper coated combustion chamber (CCE) [copper-(thickness, 300 μ) was coated on piston crown, inner side of liner and cylinder head] and compared the engine, with conventional combustion chamber (CE) with neat gasoline operation. Copper coated power piston, copp. | Thermal analysis of modified combustion chamber of spark ignition engine
