Rahul,

I am afraid I have to let you down here. I have never seen the interior
layout of the piston cooling passages.

The only few things I can tell you for fact at this time is that Stroke
is approximately bore * 2 the (B&W K98 are 2.0m)

The K98 engine is published to run at 100rev/min and ~6000kw per cylinder.

If you can get to an engineering library, look up the
Diesel and Gas Turbine Catalog.
It should give you contacts and Sulzer and B&W (what ever they are
called today). You can probably get some information there.
As a student marine engineer, I was give a very nice tour of the
facility in Kobenhavn.

Best of luck

Matt colie - Your information is really valuable and i got more info
by searching for sulzer pistons.. You have really helped me a lot for
my project.. As I am doing a heat transfer analysis on pistons, i
needed these information about the piston stroke, bore and the cooling
channel dimensions..

What can be the approximate values for the following?

Bore - 60cm??
Stroke - 90cm??
Engine rpm - 100
cooling channel dia - 1cm??
Inlet velocity of water or oil - 1m/s??
Piston crown temperature - 500 K??

As of now, I have modeled a 3d cooling channel which has an
inlet(vertical) at one extreme extending onto the piston crown, taking
a semicircular path around the underneath of the crown(horizontal) and
an outlet(parallel to the inlet) at the other extreme.. Is this
atleast remotely realistic??- Hide quoted text -

I knew it was too much to ask you about these details.. I just had a
wild hope.. thats all.. If i had got this information a month back, i
would have enquired further into the dimensions of the piston(because
i'm nearing the deadline for my project) anyways.. Thank you for your
interest in my problem.. Thanks to google for making it so easy to get
information from across the world..
