Small Scale ORC Plant Modeling with the Amesim Simulation Tool: Analysis of Working Fluid and Thermodynamic Cycle Parameters Influence
Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Energy Procedia 81 ( 2015 ) 440 – 449 69th Conference of the Italian Thermal Engineering Association, ATI 2014 Small scale ORC plant modeling with the AMESim simulation tool: analysis of working fluid and thermodynamic cycle parameters influence. M. Antonelli*, A. Baccioli, M. Francesconi, P. Psaroudakis, L. Martorano Università di Pisa, D.E.S.Te.C., Largo Lucio Lazzarino, Pisa 56122, Italy Abstract ORC plant transient modeling is an actual issue for the correct assessment of the size of the various components of the system especially when unpredictable fluctuations of the inlet thermal flux are to be considered. This work shows the modeling procedure of a small scale (10-50 kW) Waste Heat Recovery ORC plant which uses an innovative expansion device derived from a Wankel engine. The numerical model here presented was developed with the simulation tools AMESim and simulates the transient behavior of such a small scale system in all its main components: preheater, evaporator, expansion device and condenser. The aims of this work were to evaluate the suitability of the Wankel-derived mechanism to ORC systems and to establish its optimal working conditions for the employment in a low-grade heat recovery system. The application of several working fluids as well as of various operating conditions are presented in this paper. The analysis of the transient response of the plant is also presented with a particular attention to start up operations. © 20152015 Published The Authors. by Elsevier Published Ltd.

Lotus and Eaton's Electrohydraulic Closed-Loop Fully Variable Valve Train System
J.W.G. Turner and S.A. Kenchington Lotus Engineering, Norwich, UK D.A. Stretch Eaton Automotive, Southfield, Michigan, USA Production AVT Development: Lotus and Eaton's Electrohydraulic Closed-Loop Fully Variable Valve Train System Entwicklung eines Serien-AVT-Systems: Lotus’ und Eatons elektrohydraulischer voll variabler Ventiltrieb (AVT) 1. Introduction Lotus and Eaton are collaborating to bring a production closed loop control Fully Variable Valve Timing system, known as Active Valve Train (AVT), to market in the 2008-9 timeframe. The system uses electrohydraulic operation, movement of the engine poppet valves being initiated by oil flow into and out of a hydraulic chamber which is controlled by fast acting electrohydraulic servo valves developed by the two companies. This in turn allows infinitely variable timing, duration and lift. The system, which is currently being engineered in prototype form for an OEM, will allow ready application of many advanced engine control strategies, such as throttleless operation, Controlled Auto Ignition (or Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition), fast start, variable firing order, differential cylinder loading and ultimately air hybridisation. However, to gain acceptance in the marketplace, the two partners understand that productionisation must not come at the expense of high Bill Of Materials cost, and in controlling that requirement, the performance of the system must not be allowed to suffer. This paper relates the present developmental status of the system from a valve control standpoint and describes some of the design features which have been adopted to fulfil the above requirements. An estimate of BOM costs for a typical light duty automotive application is also given. -

Academic Editors: Paul Stewart and Chris Bingham Received: 19 March 2015 / Accepted: 17 July 2015 / Published: 4 August 2015 Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate combustion characteristics for rotary engine via numerical studies. A 3D numerical model was developed to study the influence of several operative parameters on combustion characteristics. A novel rotary engine called, “Leaf Spring Rotary Engine”, was used to illustrate the structure and principle of the engine. The aims are to (1) improve the understanding of combustion process, and (2) quantify the influence of rotational speed, excess air ratio, initial pressure and temperature on combustion characteristics. The chamber space changed with crankshaft rotation. Due to the complexity of chamber volume, an equivalent modeling method was presented to simulate the chamber space variation. The numerical simulations were performed by solving the incompressible, multiphase Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes Equations via the commercial code FLUENT using a transport equation-based combustion model; a realizable turbulence model and finite-rate/eddy-dissipation model were used to account for the effect of local factors on the combustion characteristics. -

Software Controlled Stepping Valve System for a Modern Car Engine
Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Manufacturing 8 ( 2017 ) 525 – 532 14th Global Conference on Sustainable Manufacturing, GCSM 3-5 October 2016, Stellenbosch, South Africa Software Controlled Stepping Valve System for a Modern Car Engine I. Zibania, R. Marumob, J. Chumac and I. Ngebanid.* a,b,dUniversity of Botswana, P/Bag 0022, Gaborone, Botswana cBotswana International University of Science and Technology, P/Bag 16, Palapye, Botswana Abstract To address the problem of a piston-valve collision associated with poppet valve engines, we replaced the conventional poppet valve with a solenoid operated stepping valve whose motion is perpendicular to that of the piston. The valve events are software controlled, giving rise to precise intake/exhaust cycles and improved engine efficiency. Other rotary engine models like the Coates engine suffer from sealing problems and possible valve seizure resulting from excessive frictional forces between valve and seat. The proposed valve on the other hand, is located within the combustion chamber so that the cylinder pressure help seal the valve. To minimize friction, the valve clears its seat before stepping into its next position. The proposed system was successfully simulated using ALTERA’s QUARTUS II Development System. A successful prototype was built using a single piston engine. This is an ongoing project to eventually produce a 4-cylinder engine. ©© 2017 201 6Published The Authors. by Elsevier Published B.V.

Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of Gas Torque in Twinrotor Piston
J. Cent. South Univ. (2013) 20: 3536−3544 DOI: 10.1007/s117710131879y Mathematical modeling and analysis of gas torque in twinrotor piston engine DENG Hao(邓豪) 1, 2, PAN Cunyun(潘存云) 1, XU Xiaojun(徐小军) 1, ZHANG Xiang(张湘) 1 1. College of Mechatronic Engineering and Automation, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China; 2. Naval Aeronautical Engineering Institute, Qingdao Branch, Qingdao 266041, China © Central South University Press and SpringerVerlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013 Abstract: The gas torque in a twinrotor piston engine (TRPE) was modeled using adiabatic approximation with instantaneous combustion. The first prototype of TRPE was manufactured. This prototype is intended for high power density engines and can produce 36 power strokes per shaft revolution. Compared with the conventional engines, the vector sum of combustion gas forces acting on each rotor piston in TRPE is a pure torque, and the combustion gas rotates the rotors while compresses the gas in the compression chamber at the same time. Mathematical modeling of gas force transmission was built. Expression for gas torque on each rotor was derived. Different variation patterns of the volume change of working chamber were introduced. The analytical and numerical results is presented to demonstrate the main characteristics of gas torque. The results show that the value of gas torque in TRPE falls to be less than zero before the combustion phase is finished; the time for one stroke is 30° in terms of the rotating angle of the output shaft; gas torque in one complete revolution of the output shaft has a period which is equal to 60° and it is necessary to put off the moment when gas torque becomes zero in order to export the maximum energy.
