Heat Transfer Intensity in the Cylinder of a Piston Engine in the Process of Filling with Air Via Profiled Intake Pipes
摘要
Results of experimental assessment of the intensity of heat transfer by the diameter and height of the cylinder of a piston engine in filling it with the stationary air flow via intake systems with profiled pipes have been presented. The flow velocity, the air flow rate, and the local heat-transfer coefficient were determined by means of the hot-wire anemometry method. It has been established that the use of profiled pipes in the intake system of the piston engine leads to a substantial change in the profile of the local heat-transfer coefficient over the diameter of its cylinder and that with the square and triangular pipes, the degree of turbulence of the flow in the cylinder increases by 5–35% compared to the engine of basic structure. It has been shown that installing a square intake pipe in the piston engine raises the heat-transfer coefficient up to 25% over the cylinder height, and the use of a triangular pipe decreases the heat transfer to 15% compared to the basically structured engine. The obtained results may be used to design gas-exchange systems and are the initial data to calculate the piston-engine′s working cycle.
