The heat transfer between gases and combustion chamber walls is an important issue because of affecting the emissions and engine performance. On the other hand, there are a number of engine operation parameters impacting on the in-cylinder heat transfer. Of these parameters, compression ratio and engine torque are of significant influence on the engine heat transfer. For this reason, in this study the effects of compression ratio and engine torque on the heat transfer between gases and combustion chamber walls in a compression ignition engine were studied. The most used correlations such as Hohenberg, Woschni, Nusselt, Eichelberg, and Sitkei-Ramanaiah were used to calculate the overall convective heat transfer coefficient in the combustion chamber. Moreover, various heat transfer characteristics (heat flux, heat loss in combustion chamber parts, heat transfer rate) were evaluated in this study. In the performed study, it was shown that compression ratio and engine torque affected significantly the heat transfer coefficient and heat flux. While heat transfer characteristics calculated by Sitkei-Ramanaiah correlation had the highest value, Eichelberg correlation had the lowest values. The most transferred heat among the combustion chamber parts occurred in the piston.
