Rezumat: The thermal stresses in the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine are determined as a function of the level of temperature. Measuring the temperatures in different parts of the cylinder head, we can adjust the cooling, or we can improve the materials, or even we can improve the properties of the fuels. The present paper deals with the thermal stresses in the cylinder head of a spark ignition engine fueled with a mixture of gasoline with ethanol.
