The internal combustion engine needs to be assessed in terms of thermal
loads that come from different sources. Thermal analysis is important in both
the design and the evaluation of the conditions of the engine. Interesting good
results are obtained by association studies using non-invasive methods such
as Infrared and mathematical modelling based on the boundary conditions
identified in the experiment. The paper presents a methodology for measuring
the surface temperature fields outside of the engine and the mathematical
evaluation. The collected material will in future give opportunity to study
dynamic thermal states based on the technique of reverse engineering.
