Performance Analysis of an Atkinson Cycle under Effective Power and Effective Power Density Conditions G. Gonca∗ Yildiz Technical University, Naval Arch. and Marine Eng. Depart., Besiktas, Istanbul, Turkey (Received November 16, 2016; in final form May 20, 2017) This study presents performance optimization of an Atkinson cycle engine using criteria named as effective power and effective power density conditions. The effects of design and operating parameters such as compression ratio, cycle ratio, cycle temperature ratio, equivalence ratio, bore/ ratio, inlet temperature, inlet pressure, engine speed, friction coefficient, mean piston speed and stroke length, on the performance characteristics have been examined. Moreover, the energy losses have been determined as fuel energy and they have been classified as incomplete combustion losses, friction losses, transfer losses, and exhaust output losses. Realistic values of specific have been used depending on temperature of working fluid. The results of the study can be assessed as an engineering tool by the Atkinson cycle engine designers.

EPD increase with increase of cycle temperature ratio owing to more energy input into cylinder. It is clear from the figure that the amplitude of power density is lower than that of effective power. Figure 3 demonstrates the effects of friction coefficient on the engine performance. The friction coefficient is directly related to lubrication oil and friction surfaces. Friction losses increase with increase of the friction coef- ficient, hence maximum EE, EP, and EPD decrease. Figure 4 illustrates the effects of engine speed on the performance characteristics. As expected, the EP and EPD raise with enhancing engine speed. However, the EE is lower at low engine speeds compared to that at Fig. 5.

It is clear that the EP, EPD, and EE increase together with rising average piston speed at the 1. condition since engine dimensions (stroke length and bore) enhance. However, while the EE decreases, the EP and EPD increase with increase of average piston speed at the 2. condition as engine speed increases. It is obvious that power density change of the 2. condition is grater compared to that of 1. condition since engine dimensions increase with increase of effective power. Figure 6 shows the effects of stroke length on the en- gine performance. It is clear from the figure that the EP increases while the EE and EPD decrease with increase of stroke length. The main reason of this result is that Fig. 10. The variation of Pef −Pd−ηef with re- the friction losses and engine dimensions increase with re- spect to φ. spect to stroke length.

There are optimum values of equivalence ratio which provides maximum cy- cle temperature ratio, EP, EPD, and EE. Their optimum values are attained at different equivalence ratios. The highest values of cycle temperature ratio, EP and EPD are between 1 and 1.2 of equivalence ratio while the max- imum value of EE is between 0.8 and 1 of that. Figure 10 shows the influence of equivalence ratio on the performance characteristics. Similar to previous fig- ures, the maximum EE, EP, and EPD increase to partic- ular values of equivalence ratio and then begin to abate.

In- complete combustion losses (Lic) and heat transfer losses (Lht) increase whilst exhaust energy losses (Lex) decrease and friction losses (Lfr) remain constant with rising com- pression ratio at the 1. condition. Total cylinder volume and equivalence ratio change with respect to changing of compression ratio at this condition. However, Lic and Lfr are constant, Lht increases and Lex minimizes with respect to rising compression ratio at the 2. condition. Lic does not change at constant equivalence ratio because combustion efficiency is constant. Total cylinder volume increases with increasing compression ratio, hence Lht increases and Lex diminishes. Lfr changes with respect to stroke length and engine speed which are constant at both of the conditions. Therefore, Lfr does not change at the 2. condition due to constant fuel energy input. At the 1. condition, it increases since fuel energy input decreases with increase of compression ratio. 4. Conclusion The influences of the design and running parameters on the performance characteristics of an AC engine are in- vestigated by using a FTT model. A comprehensive para- metrical study is conducted. The results showed that the EP, EPD, and EE rise with rising air inlet pressure, cycle Fig. 15.
