Thermal Modeling and Optimization of Irreversible Cogeneration Power Plant
Abstract: This paper aims at studying the cogeneration system coupled with outer heat reservoir of finite heat capacity and comprises of both external as well as internal irreversibility. External irreversibility is due to the finite-rate heat transfer between the working fluid and heat reservoirs while internal irreversibility is due to heat dissipation of working fluid. Both types of irreversibility are involved in the study on introducing an internal irreversible parameter which …

Analysis of Six Stroke in an Internal Combustion Engine
Abstract: In the present time, increasing use of auto-vehicles requires more need of fuel and eventually it produces more emissions. But fuel and natural resources are limited in amount. So the aim is to reduce the emissions and fuel consumption in the engines. In that case, six-stroke engine is the great solution. Six-stroke engine is the modified form of four stroke engine. It contains two additional strokes (power stroke by air, …

Turbocharging of Spark Ignited Wankel engine for High Altitude Application Using 1-D Simulation Approach
Abstract: Wankel engines are increasingly finding their application in unmanned aerial vehicles, especially where high power-to-weight ratio is of utmost importance. This advantage makes the Wankel engines outperform the reciprocating engines despite several shortfalls. 1-D simulation model of the Wankel engine has been constructed from commercially available software for reciprocating piston engines. This model was then used to study the matching of turbocharger for the required application and the effect of …
