Study on combustion and emission characteristics of a micro‐rotary cam internal combustion engine

Abstract

AbstractIn this article, the construction principle of rotary engine and sliding vane internal combustion engine is carefully analyzed, and the concept of micro‐rotary cam internal combustion engine is proposed by integrating and innovating on them. Overall design, theoretical analysis, and model making of miniature rotary cam internal combustion engine and its supporting system. The effects of different air intake modes and different ignition advance angles on the combustion and emission characteristics of internal combustion engines were studied. Through the study of the flow field, combustion and emission characteristics of small rotating internal combustion engines, it is found that the intake form has a great influence on the cylinder smoothness of rotating internal combustion engines. The vortex formed by the end cover inlet air in the middle of the combustion chamber can fully mix the fuel and air in the cylinder, and the mixture is evenly distributed in the combustion chamber to effectively promote the spread of flame. Compared with the surrounding air intake structure, the heat release should be increased by 4.3%, and the total amount of HC and CO generated was 26.8% and 15.7% less, respectively. By studying the turbulent kinetic energy, combustion heat release, peak temperature and pressure in the cylinder, fuel consumption rate and emission characteristics of small rotary internal combustion engine, it is found that when the ignition advance angle of the small rotating internal combustion engine is 5°, the peak pressure in the cylinder is increased by 2.3% compared with other schemes, the fuel consumption rate is high, and the combustion is more complete. In addition, in terms of emission characteristics, the amount of CO and HC generated when the ignition advance angle is 5° are reduced by 35% and 35.3%, respectively.
