Haritos Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Iqbal Husain Dr. George R. Newkome Date ii ABSTRACT The efficiencies of a four cylinder direct injection diesel engine have been investigated for the implementation in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The engine was cycled through various operating points depending on the power and torque requirements for the HEV. The selected engine for the HEV is a 2005 Volkswagen 1.9L diesel engine. The 2005 Volkswagen 1.9L diesel engine was tested to develop the steady-state engine efficiencies and to evaluate the transient effects on these efficiencies. The peak torque and power curves were developed using a water brake dynamometer. Once these curves were obtained steady-state testing at various engine speeds and powers was conducted to determine engine efficiencies. Transient operation of the engine was also explored using partial throttle and variable throttle testing. The transient efficiency was compared to the steady-state efficiencies and showed a decrease from the steady- state values.

  • Polytropic Processes
    Polytropic Processes a.cyclohexane.molecule November 2015 A polytropic process takes the general form of the common thermodynamic processes, and is defined by the equation n n n pV = C or p1V1 = p2V2 where n is an index we may manipulate to get our common thermodynamic processes. Source: nptel.ac.in Note: as n approaches 1, p has less and less influence; when n = 1, p has no influence and we thus have an isobaric process. Other n values (x in the graph) are possible, but not common. For a physical interpretation of these other values, check the Wikipedia page on polytropic processes. Because polytropic processes are general representations of thermodynamic pro- cesses, any quantities we calculate for a polytropic process will be a general equation for that quantity in all other thermodynamic processes. We proceed to find the work and heat associated with a polytropic process. We start with the definition of work: Z V2 w = − p dV V1 The polytropic equation pV n = C allows us to manipulate our formula for work in the following manner, as long as n 6= 1 V V Z 2 C Z 2 C V C V w = − dV = −C V −n dV = − V 1−n 2 = V 1−n 2 n V1 V1 V1 V V1 1 − n n − 1 Evaluating this expression, C CV 1−n − CV 1−n w = V 1−n − V 1−n = 2 1 n − 1 2 1 n − 1 n n We let the first C be p2V2 and the second C be p1V1 , such that the exponents cancel to obtain p V nV 1−n − p V nV 1−n p V − p V R(T − T ) w = 2 2 2 1 1 1 = 2 2 1 1 = 2 1 n − 1 n − 1 n − 1 where the last equality follows from the ideal gas law pV = RT and our deriva- tion for the work of a polytropic process is complete.

  • Chapter 7 BOUNDARY WORK
    Chapter 7 BOUNDARY WORK Frank is struck - as if for the first time - by how much civilization depends on not seeing certain things and pretending others never occurred. − Francine Prose (Amateur Voodoo) In this chapter we will learn to evaluate Win, which is the work term in the first law of thermodynamics. Work can be of different types, such as boundary work, stirring work, electrical work, magnetic work, work of changing the surface area, and work to overcome friction. In this chapter, we will concentrate on the evaluation of boundary work. 110 Chapter 7 7.1 Boundary Work in Real Life Boundary work is done when the boundary of the system moves, causing either compression or expansion of the system. A real-life application of boundary work, for example, is found in the diesel engine which consists of pistons and cylinders as the prime component of the engine. In a diesel engine, air is fed to the cylinder and is compressed by the upward movement of the piston. The boundary work done by the piston in compressing the air is responsible for the increase in air temperature. Onto the hot air, diesel fuel is sprayed, which leads to spontaneous self ignition of the fuel-air mixture. The chemical energy released during this combustion process would heat up the gases produced during combustion. As the gases expand due to heating, they would push the piston downwards with great force. A major portion of the boundary work done by the gases on the piston gets converted into the energy required to rotate the shaft of the engine.

  • Heat Transfer During the Piston-Cylinder Expansion of a Gas
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Matthew Jose Rodrigues for the degree of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering presented on June 5, 2014. Title: Heat Transfer During the Piston-Cylinder Expansion of a Gas Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ James A. Liburdy The expansion of a gas within a piston-cylinder arrangement is studied in order to obtain a better understanding of the heat transfer which occurs during this process. While the situation of heat transfer during the expansion of a gas has received considerable attention, the process is still not very well understood. In particular, the time dependence of heat transfer has not been well studied, with many researchers instead focused on average heat transfer rates. Additionally, many of the proposed models are not in agreement with each other and are usually dependent on experimentally determined coefficients which have been found to vary widely between test geometries and operating conditions. Therefore, the expansion process is analyzed in order to determine a model for the time dependence of heat transfer during the expansion. A model is developed for the transient heat transfer by assuming that the expansion behaves in a polytropic manner. This leads to a heat transfer model written in terms of an unknown polytropic exponent, n. By examining the physical significance of this parameter, it is proposed that the polytropic exponent can be related to a ratio of the time scales associated with the expansion process, such as a characteristic Peclet number. Experiments are conducted to test the proposed heat transfer model and to establish a relationship for the polytropic exponent.

A calculation flowchart of the power output (P) and efficiency (η) of the cycle is provided, and the effects of the mass flow rate (MFR) of the injection of water to the cycle and some other design parameters on the performance of cycle are analyzed by detailed numerical examples. Furthermore, the superiority of irreversible MRBC is verified as the cycle and is compared with the traditional irreversible reciprocating Brayton cycle (RBC). The results can provide certain theoretical guiding significance for the optimal design of practical Maisotsenko reciprocating gas turbine plants.

  • Quantum Mechanics Polytropic Process
    Quantum Mechanics_polytropic process A polytropic process is a thermodynamic process that obeys the relation: where p is the pressure, v is specific volume, n, the polytropic index, is any real number, andC is a constant. The polytropic process equation is particularly useful for characterizing expansion and compression processes which include heat transfer. This equation can accurately characterize a very wide range ofthermodynamic processes, that range from n<0 to n= which covers, n=0 (Isobaric), n=1 (Isothermal), n=γ (Isentropic), n= (Isochoric) processes and all values of n in between. Hence the equation is polytropic in the sense that it describes many lines or many processes. In addition to the behavior of gases, it can in some cases represent some liquids and solids. The one restriction is that the process should display an energy transfer ratio of K=δQ/δW=constant during that process. If it deviates from that restriction it suggests the exponent is not a constant. For a particular exponent, other points along the curve can be calculated: Derivation Polytropic processes behave differently with various polytropic indice. Polytropic process can generate other basic thermodynamic processes. The following derivation is taken from Christians.[1] Consider a gas in a closed system undergoing an internally reversible process with negligible changes in kinetic and potential energy. The First Law of Thermodynamics is Define the energy transfer ratio, . For an internally reversible process the only type of work interaction is moving boundary work, given by Pdv. Also assume the gas is calorically perfect (constant specific heat) so du = cvdT. The First Law can then be written (Eq.

    U.P.B. Sci. Bull., Series D, Vol. 78, Iss. D, 2016 ISSN 1223-7027 PHYSICO-MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF A HOT AIR ENGINE USING HEAT FROM LOW-TEMPERATURE RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY Vlad Mario HOMUTESCU1, Marius-Vasile ATANASIU2, Carmen-Ema PANAITE3, Dan-Teodor BĂLĂNESCU4 The paper provides a novel physico-mathematical model able to estimate the maximum performances of a hot air Ericsson-type engine - which is capable to run on renewable energy, such as solar energy, geothermal energy or biomass. The computing program based on this new model allows to study the influences of the main parameters over the engine performances and to optimize their values. Keywords: Ericsson-type engine, renewable energy, theoretical model, maximum performances. 1. Introduction In the last decades we witnessed an extraordinary development of numerous engines and devices capable of transforming heat into work [1]. The field of the “unconventional” engines has risen again into the attention of the researchers and of the investors. Several former abandoned or marginal technical solutions of hot air engines were reanalyzed by researchers - as the Ericsson-type reciprocating engines [2], Stirling engines or Stirling-related engines [1], [3] and the Vuilleumier machine. The Ericsson-type hot air engine is an external combustion heat engine with pistons (usually, with pistons with reciprocating movement) and with valves. An Ericsson-type engine functional unit comprises two pistons. The compression process takes place inside a compression cylinder, and the expansion process takes place inside an expansion cylinder. Heat is added to the cycle inside a heater. Sometimes a heat recuperator or regenerator is used to recover energy from the exhaust gases, fig.
