Voronkov O. Methodology of organizing the work process of the pneumatic engine for the town car combined power plant

The thesis deals with solving the problem of developing the methodology of organizing the work processes of the pneumatic engine for the automobile combinedpowerplant with higher economic and environmental parameters compared to the internal combustion engine at low frequencies of the crankshaft rotation, that is important for cities with heavy traffic as well as for specific enterprises of mining and oil-and-gas industries. In the course of the research the analysis, integration and systematization of the existing works devoted to the use of pneumatic engines in automobiles have been carried out, the theoretical fundamentals of organizing the work processes of pneumatic engines based on the static and dynamic computer models that differ from models for pneumatic engines used in various industries have been developed. The method to calculate the air supply process for determining the necessary parameters of inlet and outlet channels, speed, temperature, and air consumption of the spool-type air distributor has been designed. According to the results of the research the software for modeling the work processes of the automobile pneumatic engines with and without heating has been developed.
