Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Yield of the Thermal EnginesNicolae Petrescu, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThis paper presents an algorithm for determining the dynamic parameters of the main classic mechanism of internal combustion engines. It shows the distribution of forces (on the main engine mechanism) to internal combustion engines. With these forces and together with the kinematic coupling speeds, the efficiency of the thermal engine is determined. The method applies separately for two distinct situations: … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 14 May 2019 · 6,191 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTesting Composite Valve Covers for Reciprocating Engine ApplicationsPeng Hao Wang, Natalie ZimmermannThe use of composites within the aeronautical field is not limited to airframe applications and includes powerplant components in reciprocating engines. To add to the research body in this area, the presented work aimed to evaluate the performance of novel carbon fiber valve covers installed on an aircraft reciprocating engine. Specifically, the comparative performance between novel composite-based valve covers and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 12 Aug 2022 · 5,836 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContributions to the Stirling Engine StudyFlorian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuIn the process of transforming thermal energy into mechanical work, among the known thermal machines, the Stirling engine is the one that can achieve the highest yield (theoretically up to the maximum yield of the Carnot cycle), although in practice it is reduced by the properties of gas and materials used such as friction coefficient, thermal conductivity, melting point, breaking … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2018 · 10,172 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Power Uprate in Nuclear Power PlantsAlejandro Nuñez-Carrera, Ana Lidia Carreño-Padilla, Erick Gilberto Espinosa-Martínez, Raúl Camargo-CamargoThe three main strategies used by the utilities in order to obtain more benefits from the nuclear installations focused on electricity production and in order to satisfy their demand without carbon dioxide emissions are: (1) Power uprate, (2) plant life management and (3) plant life extension. Alone in the United States, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved more than 140 … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 25 Jun 2017 · 7,599 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModelling and Assessment of Effect of Operation Parameters on Gas Turbine Power Plant Performance using First and Second Laws of ThermodynamicsSunday Olayinka Oyedepo, Richard Olayiwola Fagbenle, Samuel Sunday AdefilaIn this study, modelling of gas turbine engine performance is carried out using thermodynamics relations. The model reveals that the influence of operation parameters such as compression ratio, turbine inlet temperature and ambient temperature has significant effect on the performance of gas turbine engine. Energy and exergy analyses were conducted to evaluate the performance of the selected power plant and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 3 May 2017 · 7,920 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Simulation and Optimum Operation Strategy of a Trigeneration System Serving a HospitalFrancesco Calise, Massimo Dentice d'Accadia, Luigi Libertini et al.This paper presents a numerical analysis of a trigeneration system in a hospital, aiming at determining the cost-optimal operating strategy as a function of the energy demands to be matched. The system includes: A natural gas fired reciprocating engine, heat exchangers for waste-heat recovery, a single-stage LiBr-H2O Absorption Chiller (ACH), a cooling tower, pumps, a backup boiler, a backup vapour-compression … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 29 Aug 2016 · 8,177 accessesView PDFCite
