Dual Cycle Exhaust Energy Recovery for Internal Combustion Engines |
摘要: |
With increasing crude oil prices, concern about energy security and calls for reduction in greenhouse gases, energy use in the future will be a large priority. One method for reducing oil consumption is through increased efficiency of the internal combustion engine. A significant loss in this engine is the exhaust energy which is approximately 20 to 40% of the fuel potential. Research has indicated that there exists a capability to increase the brake thermal efficiency of the engine system by using this exhaust in a separate thermodynamic cycle. By simulating an engine and dual cycle system in a novel architecture, this project intends to demonstrate a proof of concept that can reduce engine emissions while increasing thermal efficiency. |
