Energy Management of a Hybrid-Power Gas Engine-Driven Heat Pump

The hybrid-power gas engine-driven heat pump (HPGHP) combines hybrid power technology with a gas engine heat pump. The engine in the power system is capable of operating constantly with high thermal efficiency and low emissions during different operating modes. In this paper, the mathematical models of various components is established, including the engine thermal efficiency map and the motor ...

Energy and Economic Performance Comparison of Gas Engine and Electric Driven Air-To-Water Heat Pump

Heat engine driven by purely quantum information.

The key question of this Letter is whether work can be extracted from a heat engine by using purely quantum mechanical information. If the answer is yes, what is its mathematical formula? First, by using a bipartite memory we show that the work extractable from a heat engine is bounded not only by the free energy change and the sum of the entropy change of an individual memory but also by the c...

Dynamic Behavior of a Free-Piston Stirling Engine Driven Heat Pump With Magnetic Coupling

A new low-cost design for a free-piston Stirling engi ne driven heat pump is presented. The new approach uses a linear-acting magnetic coupling to transfer engine power across a hermetic shell. Camp l i ance in the coupling affects the performance and stability of the system, especially with regard to matchin g the engine dynamics to the compressor load. This paper first describes test results ...

Derivation of Specific Heat Rejection Correlation in an SI Engine; Experimental and Numerical Study

The thermal balance analysis is a useful method to determine energy distribution and efficiency of internal combustion (IC) engines. In engines cooling concepts, estimation of heat transfer to brake power ratio, as one of the most significant performance characteristics, is highly demanded. In this paper, investigation of energy balance and derivation of specific heat rejection is carried out e...
