RISFundamental Explorations of Spring Varied, Free Piston Linear Engine Devices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The conventional crankbased internal combustion engine faces many challenges to remain a viable option for electric power generation. Limitations in mechanical, thermal, and combustion efficiencies must be overcome by ...
Performance Comparison of a Single Cylinder and a Dual Cylinder Free Piston Engine
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Free piston linear engine alternators (FPLEA) may be designed following several different baseline configurations. Common designs include a translator that carries permanent magnets, with either one piston attached to one ...
An Experimental Investigation on the Combustion Process of a Simulated Turbocharged Spark Ignition Natural Gas Engine Operated on Stoichiometric Mixture
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This research investigated the combustion process of an AVL Model LEF/Volvo 5312 single cylinder engine configured to simulate the operation of a heavy-duty spark ignition (SI) natural gas (NG) engine operated on stoichiometric ...
An Investigation of the Combustion Process of a Heavy-Duty Natural Gas-Diesel Dual Fuel Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of the addition of natural gas (NG) and engine load on the cylinder pressure, combustion process, brake thermal efficiency, and methane combustion efficiency of a heavy-duty NG-diesel ...
