Variable inertia effects of an engine including piston friction and a crank or gudgeon pin offset

Crankshaft Offset and it’s Impact on Piston and Piston Ring Friction Behavior

Increasing fuel economy in modern passenger car engines has become one of the primary development targets, due to swiftly increasing raw oil prices. Initially, vast progress was achieved in the development of the combustion process. Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) has been one of the keys to success; however, further potential is now being investigated. Currently, the primary focus of engine d...

An Investigation on the Effects of Gas Pressure Drop in Heat Exchangers on Dynamics of a Free Piston Stirling Engine

This paper is devoted to study the effects of pressure drop in heat exchangers on the dynamics of a free piston Stirling engine. First, the dynamic equations governing the pistons as well as the gas pressure equations for hot and cold spaces of the engine are extracted. Then, by substituting the obtained pressure equations into the dynamic relationships the final nonlinear dynamic equations gov...

پیش‌بینی پارامترهای روغن‌کاری یاتاقان چشم کوچک شاتون موتور ملی EF7 به کمک شبکه‌های عصبی با شبیه‌سازی در نرم‌افزار AVL EXCITE

In order to reduce wear in gudgeon pin, bush and piston boss lubrication is done. Oil used in national engine species was 10W40 with dynamic viscosity 5.5 mPa.s at 140 °C (the working temperature). In order to complete investigation the oil film hydrodynamics analysis in small end of connecting rod, a real full model engine with four cylinders has been simulated by AVL EXCITE5.1 software. In...

Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue Life Assessment of a Diesel Engine Piston

A miniature free-piston engine/compressor

Portable powered devices such as construction tools and orthotics require a power supply that is light and compact. Hydrocarbon fuel has exceptionally high energy density compared to batteries but must be converted to mechanical power to be useful. We designed, constructed and evaluated a tiny internal combustion air compressor that uses a free-piston configuration combined with homogeneous cha...
