It has been an earnest wish for engineers to convert heat loss from engine into power, but it is almost impossible in actual application. The serious problem in engine operation without cooling is that the cylinder material is sometimes melted by exceeding melting temperature. Following the first law of thermodynamics, it is possible that heat loss to cooling water can be converted into mechanical work through crankshaft. In this study, LHR(Low Heat Rejection) engine coated with zirconia and made by quartz was introduced as one of the promising engine and several useful qualitative and quantitative data were drawn.

It is known that over 60% of engine power is dissipated into circumstance, cooling water and cooling oil without any conversion into useful work. Following the first law of thermodynamics, it is possible that heat loss to cooling water can be converted into mechanical work through crankshaft. But in case that the engine is operating without any cooling effect, the serious problem unsolved so far is the engine durability. In this study, LHR(Low Heat Rejection) engine was introduced as one of the promising engine and several useful qualitative and quantitative data were drawn.
