Steady Heat Transfer Analysis of Leaf Spring Rotary Engine

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the heat transfer simulation of a new kind of rotary engine called Leaf Spring Rotary Engine. The structure and the principle of the prototype engine were introduced. The thermodynamic models including heat transfer model were presented. The contrast of the performance parameters between the heat transfer condition and the ideal condition was presented and the effect of the heat transfer to the performance of the engine was analyzed. It showed that the heat transfer loss would account for 24% of the input energy at the rated speed of 3000r/min. At the same time, the effect of ignition position to the performance of the engine was analyzed. The work would be used in the combustion system design and the performance optimization.
