Abstract:Summary
A new type of engine concept is proposed, namely a rotating disk cylinder engine. Unique secondary rotors with grooves act as guide vanes for a working fluid to power a main rotor with multiple cylindrical pistons. Currently, no literature exists on the proposed device and the modelling thereof. The aim of this paper is to determine the dynamic and thermodynamic behaviour of the machine so that recommendations can be made for further research work. A transient as well as a steady‐state thermodynamic mo… Show more
