Non-Dimensional Modeling and Simulation Analysis of Air Powered Engine

Article Preview

Abstract:

Environmental pollution and energy crisis urge people to explore new power devices without burning fossil fuels and pollutant emission. Air powered engine (APE) is among these power devices. The medium and power source of APE is compressed air whose expansion makes it possible for APE to output work. Based on the principal and working process of APE, the mathematic model is established and afterwards made dimensionless. On the basis of the simulation of the non-dimensional mathematic model, the influences of the non-dimensional cylinder stroke and Kagawa coefficient on APE’s performances are analyzed
