Go Thickness of Piston Head = 0.032*Diameter of Cylinder Bore+1.5

Maximum Gas Force on Piston Head Formula

Force on Piston = pi*Diameter of Cylinder Bore^2*Maximum Gas Pressure inside Cylinder/4
F_P = pi*D_i^2*p_max/4

What is combustion?

Combustion is more specifically a chemical reaction in which energy is released when fuel and the oxygen in the air are mixed and exposed to heat. There are many kinds of fuels: wood, natural gas, gasoline, diesel, ethanol, and biofuels, among others. Altering the fuel, oxygen, or heat availability can control combustion
