Abstract:In this work, a novel analytical time-sensitive model for Ericsson engines was developed taking into account the heat transfer phenomena between the working gas and the cylinder walls in the compressor and the expander. For the calculation of the mass flow entering/exiting each cylinder, another dedicated flow model was developed to account for the pressure drop at the valves. From the energy equilibrium taking into consideration the time-dependent thermal response of the cylinder walls and the enthalpy enteri… Show more
