Abstract
The article presents a hybrid concept of a turboshaft engine that fits into the
area of PGE (pressure-gained combustion). It combines the advantages and
elements of a piston engine and a turbine engine. The combustion takes place in
isochoric chambers. The proposed timing system of the engine efficiently
realizes the Humphrey cycle. Additionally, the main gas cycle engine was
enhanced by the Clausius–Rankine steam cycle to achieve effective power of
engine equal to 1231.3 kW. It was supplied by waste heat recovery from the
exhaust gas. The enhancement of the engine by the secondary steam cycle
significantly improved engine effective efficiency with a final value reaching
0.446. The effective efficiency and specific fuel consumption of the engine were
calculated using merged analytical–numerical CFD (computational fluid dynamics)
analysis. The centrifugal compressor, gas turbine, and steam turbine can work on
the common shaft whose rotational velocity is 35,000 rpm. Because of additional
weight, it could have potential applications for stationary use or heavy
military units.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
