Aero Thermodynamic Analysis and Design of A Rolling Piston Engine

- A rolling piston engine operating on a novel thermodynamic cycle is designed. Thermodynamic and structural analyses are performed to calculate variables and losses. - CFD analysis of the engine's induction process considers factors like flow separation and pressure losses. This helps determine issues restricting air flow. - Thermal analysis shows the heat flux is highest for aluminum alloy. Heat transfer coefficient increases at higher inlet velocities.

AERO THERMODYNAMIC ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

OF A ROLLING PISTON ENGINE


ABSTRACT
• The thermodynamic design code should be improved after making
experiments about the compression and the expansion, by doing so
more realistic compression and expansion coefficients can be found
and also heat losses during the compression and the expansion can be
determined.
• A rolling piston engine, operating according to a novel thermodynamic
cycle is designed. Thermodynamic and structural analysis of this novel
engine is carried out and thermodynamic and structural variables of the
engine were calculated. The losses in the engine, friction and leakage
were calculated and their effects on the engine were demonstrated.
• In the engine induction process when the air goes through the air inlet
ports there can be analyzed by considering the things such as flow
separation, inlet pressure loss or any other problem restricts air to go
into the compressor should be determined by CFD analysis.
INTRODUCTION ABOUT ROLLING PISTON ENGINE

• The distinctive feature of our civilization today, one that makes it


different from all others, is the wide use of mechanical power. At one
time, the primary source of power for the work of peace or war was
chiefly man’s muscle. Later, animals were trained to help and
afterwards the wind and the running stream were harnessed.
• But, the great step was taken in this direction when man learned the art
of energy conversion from one to another.
• The machine which does this job of energy conversion is called an
engine.
• An engine is a device which transforms one form of energy into another
form. However, while transforming energy from one form to another,
the efficiency of conversion plays an important role.
• Normally, most of the engines convert thermal energy into mechanical
work and therefore they are called ‘heat engines’.
Classifications of Heat Engines
The principle of the rolling piston expander is shown in Figure . Zha and Ma (2003)
theoretically determined the design parameters and found that the dominant losses are due
to leakage and friction, which account for 25% and 24% of the ideal expansion power,
respectively. For the control of suction and discharge flows, electrically controlled valves
were suggested.
An isentropic efficiency of 50% was estimated for the expander. Itwas found fromthe test of
the prototype that there are high friction losses of the rolling piston at the connection with
the vane and that the line contact between the rolling piston and the vane is a major leakage
path.
LITERATURE REVIEW

• Aero thermodynamic Analysis And Design Of A Rolling Piston


Engine[1] A Rolling Piston Engine, Operating According To A Novel
Thermodynamic Cycle Is Designed. Thermodynamic And Structural
Analysis Of This Novel Engine Is Carried Out And Thermodynamic And
Structural Variables Of The Engine Were Calculated. The Losses In The
Engine, Friction And Leakage Were Calculated And Their Effects On
The Engine Were Demonstrated.
• Analysis of Rolling Piston and Journal Bearings in Rotary
Compressors[2] A numerical analysis of the thermohydrodynamic
lubrication of a rolling piston and two misaligned journal bearings in a
rotary compressor has been carried out. The temperature rise of the
oil film was calculated according to the transient energy equation of
viscous fluid, and coupled analysis with the hydrodynamic lubrication
of the rolling piston and journal bearings was conducted by using the
finite element method and finite difference method.
• Fukuta et al. (2003) fostered a hypothetical model thinking about stream
limitation, inside spillages, and hotness move for the transcritical CO2
revolving vane expander. The review in light of the model observed that the
spillage impacted the expander execution. A model expander was likewise
constructed and tried, with the exploratory conditions being attractions strain
of 4.1 MPa (594.65 psi), release tension of 9.1 MPa (1319.84 psi), and
channel temperature of 40◦C (104.0◦F). The expander was accounted for to
have a greatest volumetric effectiveness of 64% and a most extreme absolute
productivity of 43%. These qualities diminished to around 20% when the
rotational speed diminished from 2000 rpm to 500 rpm.
• Fukuta et al. (2009) distinguished the vane-opening leeway as a prevailing
spillage way and worked on the model by changing the approach to providing
a vane back-strain to eliminate the seal ring on the rotor face. Therefore, the
vane back-pressure port is connected to the vane back volume just when the
comparing vane is in an entry cycle. The ideal absolute effectiveness of 60%
was accounted for at the rotational speed of 2000 rpm for the improved
expander. The presence of the vane type expander is displayed in Figure.

Modeling and analysis
• PTC Creo 3.0. We’ve looked at the exciting opportunities made possible
with the new UNITE technology and explored improvements made to help
during concept design development with Creo 3.0.
• But for anyone who isn’t already familiar with Creo, this post takes a step
back from the latest release and looks at everything you need to know
about PTC Creo.
Computational Fluid Dynamics
• Fluid (gas and liquid) flows are governed by partial differential
equations which represent conservation laws for the mass, momentum,
and energy. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the art of replacing
such PDE systems by a set of algebraic equations which can be solved
using digital computers.
• Fluid flows encountered in everyday life include
• • Meteorological Phenomena (Rain, Wind, Hurricanes, Floods, Fires)
• • Environmental Hazards (Air Pollution, Transport Of Contaminants)
• • Heating, Ventilation And Air Conditioning Of Buildings, Cars Etc.
• • Combustion In Automobile Engines And Other Propulsion Systems
• • Interaction Of Various Objects With The Surrounding Air/Water
• • Complex Flows In Furnaces, Heat Exchangers, Chemical Reactors Etc.
• • Processes In Human Body (Blood Flow, Breathing, Drinking . . . )

• By observing the CFD analysis of rolling piston engine pressure, velocity,
heat transfer coefficient, mass flow rate and heat transfer rate increases
by increasing the inlet velocity.
• Heat transfer coefficient value increases at inlet velocity 9m/s.
• By observing the thermal analysis the heat flux value is more for
aluminum alloy.
