Engine Cycle Simulation and FEM Validation for LHR Engine Design

LHR 엔진 설계를 위한 엔진 사이클 시뮬레이션 및 FEM 검증

It has been an earnest wish for engineers to convert heat loss from engine into power, but it is almost impossible in actual application. The serious problem in engine operation without cooling is that the cylinder material is sometimes melted by exceeding melting temperature. Following the first law of thermodynamics, it is possible that heat loss to cooling water can be converted into mechanical work through crankshaft. In this study, LHR(Low Heat Rejection) engine coated with zirconia and made by quartz was introduced as one of the promising engine and several useful qualitative and quantitative data were drawn.
