Ceramic based coatings are routinely being engineered to protect metallic components from high temperature environments in applications like gas turbines and jet engines. However, although a wellresearched technology, detailed and realistic information on the effects of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) in improving the performance of commercial diesel engines is either classified or inconsistent. Additional information by means of lab scale and analytical evaluation of TBCs prepared from 8%Y2O3-ZrO2 plasma sprayable powders (prepared in the laboratory by using organic binders), coated onto aluminium substrates, corroborated by simulation model is one part of this paper. The findings are supplemented by studying the influence of the TBCs on aluminium pistons in a single cylinder nine horsepower class diesel engine, thereby carrying out realistic performance of the engine involving parameters such as Power (Brake, Indicated and Frictional), thermal efficiency, fuel consumption, effects of ceramic insulation on emission and exhaust temperature and peak cylinder pressure, as the concluding part of the studies.
