  • Low temperature rotary Stirling engine: conceptual design and theoretical analysis
    Publication

    The use of low-temperature energy sources for electricity generation demands a dual focus: a substantial enhancement in the efficiency of energy conversion devices and a reduction in system production costs. Particularly in scenarios where low-temperature energy sources are scarce, this factor can be pivotal in facilitating widespread adoption of such technologies. The Stirling engine emerges as a promising solution capable of...

  • Estimation of the Regenerative Braking Process Efficiency in Electric Vehicles
    Publication

    - Acta Mechanica et Automatica - Year 2023

    In electric and hybrid vehicles, it is possible to recover energy from the braking process and reuse it to drive the vehicle using the batteries installed on-board. In the conditions of city traffic, the energy dissipated in the braking process constitutes a very large share of the total resistance to vehicle motion. Efficient use of the energy from the braking process enables a significant reduction of fuel and electricity consumption...

  • Evaluation of the energy efficiency of electric vehicle drivetrains under urban operating conditions
    Publication

    - Combustion Engines - Year 2023

    In electric vehicles, as in hybrids vehicles, a very important factor affecting the energy efficiency of the powertrain is the ability to use the regenerative braking energy. Depending on the settings available in electric vehicles, the driver can choose different modes of operation: switch off the regenerative braking mode altogether, select the intensity of regenerative braking, or leave the control system in automatic mode....

  • FORECASTING BIOGAS FORMATION IN LANDFILLS
    Publication

    - Acta Mechanica et Automatica - Year 2023

    : The aim of the present research was to develop a mathematical model for estimating the amount of viscous gas generated as a function of weather conditions. Due to the lack of models for predicting gas formation caused by sudden changes in weather conditions in the literature, such a model was developed in this study using the parameters of landfills recorded for over a year. The effect of temperature on landfill gas production...

  • A Theoretical and Experimental Study of Moderate Temperature Alfa Type Stirling Engines
    Publication

    The Stirling engine is a device that allows conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy with relatively high efficiency. Existing commercial designs are mainly based on the usage of high temperature heat sources, whose availability from renewable or waste heat sources is significantly lower than that of moderate temperature sources. The paper presents the results of experimental research on a prototype alpha type Stirling...

  • Application of Stirling Engine Type Alpha Powered by the Recovery Energy on Vessels
    Publication

    The Stirling engine is a device, in which thermal energy is transformed into mechanical without a contact between the heat carrier, and the working gas closed in the engine. Mentioned feature makes this type of engine very attractive for the use of the recovery energy, taken from other heat devices. One of the potential applications of Stirling engines is the use of thermal energy generated in the ship's engine room for producing...

  • A unified approach to the analysis of electric energy and fuel consumption of cars in city traffic
    Publication

    - ENERGY - Year 2019

    Forecasting fuel and electricity consumption is an important factor determining the direction of changes in road engineering solutions, traffic management, selection of routes for public transport and development more efficient car drive systems. With a reliable and easy-to-use computational tool, it is possible to reduce the consumption of primary energy sources and reduce the emission of toxic compounds in cities. An analysis...

  • Analysis of start energy of Stirling engine type alpha
    Publication

    The Stirling engine type alpha is composed of two cylinders (expansion space E and compression space C), regenerator that forms the space between the cylinders and the buffer space (under the pistons). Before the start-up and as a result of long-term operation, the average pressure in the working space (above the pistons) and in the buffer space is the same. However, in the initial phase of operation, the average pressure in the...

  • Analysis of the regenerative braking process for the urban traffic conditions
    Publication

    In a regular drive system, with an internal combustion engine, vehicle braking is connected with the unproductive dissipation of kinetic and potential energy accumulated in the mass of the vehicle into the environment. This energy can constitute up to 70% of the energy used to drive a vehicle under urban conditions. Its recovery and reuse is one of the basic advantages of hybrid and electric vehicles. Modern traffic management...

  • Heavy Duty Vehicle Fuel Consumption Modelling Based on Exploitation Data by Using Artificial Neural Networks
    Publication

    - Year 2019

    One of the ways to improve the fuel economy of heavy duty trucks is to operate the combustion engine in its most efficient operating points. To do that, a mathematical model of the engine is required, which shows the relations between engine speed, torque and fuel consumption in transient states. In this paper, easy accessible exploitation data collected via CAN bus of the heavy duty truck were used to obtain a model of a diesel...

  • Hydraulic resistance analyses of selected elements of the prototype Stirling engine

    The paper presents the results of simulation tests of hydraulic resistance and temperature distribution of the prototype Stirling alpha engine supplied with waste heat. The following elements were analyzed: heater, regenerator and cooler. The engine uses compressed air as a working gas. Analyses were carried out for three working pressure values and different engine speeds. The work was carried out in order to optimize the configuration...

  • Modelowanie układów napędowych pojazdów z silnikami spalinowymi
    Publication

    - Year 2016

    W analizie struktur układów napędowych pojazdów wykorzystano metodę Grafów Wiązań, która daje możliwość modelowania elementów o różnej naturze fizycznej. Jest to bardzo istotne przy analizie energetycznej systemów o złożonej i zróżnicowanej strukturze energetycznej, np. w przypadku pojazdów samochodowych z klasycznym lub hybrydowym układem napędowym. W pracy przedstawiono również przykłady popularnych programów komputerowych do...
