I.C. Engines

Abstract

This paper has described the design of a coupled I.C. engine and heat exchangers  Here the heat exchangers are used to absorb the heat from the exhaust gas of the I.C. engine and liberate to the atmospheric temperature with the help of cooling water. The aim of paper is to extract approximately 30% of heat from the exhaust gas of I.C. engine and cool it to the ambient temperature. By this project we can reduce the global warming.   

GENERAL CONSTRUCTION

The thermoacoustic refrigeration system comprises two sections namely a prime mover (thermoacoustic engine) and a heat pump, within a pressurised vessel. The pressure vessel contains Helium gas at a mean pressure of 1.2MPa and it is made by stainless steel and the pipes are made by mild steel.

Working

Exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine is delivered to the thermoacoustic engine at the left-hand side of the figure. A heat exchanger is used to extract heat from the gas stream and deliver it to the thermoacoustic engine. Adjacent to the hot heat exchanger within the thermoacoustic engine is the prime mover stack.
