Adiabatics, Inc. has developed a new class of thermal barrier coating (TBC) based on cylinder wall temperature swing effect currently being researched by major engine manufacturers.This class of ceramicbased TBC has the highest temperature wall swing capability based on its extremely low density (0.45g/cm3), low specific heat capacity (500 KJ/m3-K) and low thermal conductivity (0.28W/m-K).Due to these inherent thermal properties, initial engine tests have provided an initial 1-2% improvement in powerplant thermal efficiency translating to a 4% reduction in fuel consumption and 5-25% increase in heat transfer through various power cylinder components.These are properties essential for improving Air Force UAS engine performance, reliability and durability.Thermal barrier coating,Low heat rejection,Low Specific Heat Capacity (cp),Temperature swing,Low Thermal Conductivity (k),Thermal Efficiency,Low Density (),Extended life
