Coupled dynamic–multidimensional modelling of free-piston engine combustion. ⋆
Free-piston engines are under investigation by a number of research groups worldwide, as an alternative to conventional technology in applications such as electric and hydraulic power generation. The piston dynamics of the freepiston engine differ significantly from those of conventional engines, and this may influence in-cylinder gas motion, combustion and emissions formation. Due to the compl...
متن کاملExperimental Assessment of a Free Elastic-Piston Engine Compressor with Separated Combustion Chamber
This paper presents the experimental assessment of a free elastic-piston compressor (FEPC) equipped with a separated combustion chamber. The FEPC is a proposed device that utilizes combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel to compress air into a high-pressure supply tank, thus potentially serving as a portable power supply candidate for untethered pneumatic systems of human-scale power output. The desig...
متن کاملFree-Piston Diesel Engine Dynamics and Control
Free-piston diesel engines are characterized by freely moving pistons without any rigid crankshaft or camshaft connected to the pistons. This allows a highly compact and e cient engine design, but requires automatic control of the piston motion. This paper present a dynamic mathematical model of a free-piston diesel engine, a control oriented dynamic analysis, and a novel computer-based piston ...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملPerformance simulation of a spark ignited free-piston engine
Free-piston engines are under investigation by a number of research groups worldwide due to potential fuel efficiency and engine emissions advantages. The free-piston engine generator, in which a linear electric generator is fixed to the mover to produce electric power, has been proposed as an alternative prime mover for hybrid-electric vehicles. This paper investigates the performance of a spa...
