Internal combustion engines are the most common sources of energy among heat engines. Therefore, the improvement of their design and workflow is an urgent task in the development of world energy. Thermal-mechanical perfection of the exhaust system has a significant impact on the technical and economic performance of piston engines. The article presents the results of experimental studies of gas-dynamics and heat exchange of pulsating gas flows in the exhaust system of a piston engine. Studies were carried out on a full-scale model of a single-cylinder engine. The article describes the instrument-measuring base and methods of experiments. The heat transfer intensity was estimated in different elements of the exhaust system: the exhaust pipe, the channel in the cylinder head, the valve assembly. Heat transfer studies were carried out taking into account the gas-dynamic nonstationarity characteristic of gas exchange processes in engines. The article presents data on the influence of gas-dynamic and regime factors on the heat transfer intensity. It is shown that the restructuring of the gas flow structure in the exhaust system occurs depending on the engine crankshaft speed, this has a significant impact on the local heat transfer coefficient. It has been established that the heat transfer intensity in the valve assembly is 2-3 times lower than in other elements of the exhaust system.

A method of thermomechanical improvement of pulsating air flows in the intake system of a turbocharged piston engine is described. The main objective of this study is to develop a method for suppressing the rate of heat transfer to improve the reliability of a piston turbocharged engine. A brief review of the literature on improving the reliability of piston engines is given. Scientific and technical results were obtained on the basis of experimental studies on a full-scale model of a piston engine. The hot-wire anemometer method was used to obtain gas-dynamic and heatexchange characteristics of gas flows. Laboratory stands and instrumentation facilities are described in the article. The data on gas dynamics and heat exchange of stationary and pulsating air flows in gas-dynamic systems of various configurations as applied to the air supply system of a turbocharged piston engine are presented. A method of thermomechanical improvement of flows in the intake system of an engine based on a honeycomb is proposed in order to stabilize the pulsating flow and suppress the intensity of heat transfer. Data were obtained on the air flow rate and the local heat transfer coefficient both in the exhaust duct of the turbocharger compressor (i.e., without a piston engine) and in the intake system of a supercharged engine. A comparative analysis of the data has been carried out. It was found that the installation of a leveling grid in the exhaust channel of a turbocharger leads to an intensification of heat transfer by an average of 9%. It was found that the presence of a leveling grid in the intake system of a piston engine causes the suppression of heat transfer within 15% in comparison with the baseline values. It is shown that the use of a modernized intake system in a diesel engine increases its probability of failure-free operation by 0.8%. The data obtained can be extended to other types and designs of air supply systems for heat engines.

This article provides a comparative analysis of unsteady gas dynamics and instantaneous local heat transfer of pulsating flows in the intake and exhaust systems of reciprocating internal combustion engines in the case of a turbo-compressor installed without it and based on the results of experimental studies. Experimental studies were carried out on full-scale laboratory stands under the conditions of gas-dynamic nonstationarity. The article provides an original method for determining the instantaneous values of the local heat transfer coefficient in pipes, and describes the procedure for conducting experiments. It has been established that the presence of a turbo compressor in the gas-air system of a piston engine leads to significant differences in the patterns of changes in the gas-dynamic and heat exchange characteristics of pulsating flows. The obtained new data can be used to improve engineering methods for calculating the quality indicators of gas exchange processes, to refine the working processes of the engine when installing a turbocharger, as well as to develop advanced gas-air ICE systems with turbocharging.

Thermomechanical perfection of exhaust systems largely determines the efficiency of the engine boost system. The article presents the results of numerical simulation and experimental study of heat transfer of gas flows in profiled exhaust systems of ICE. The description of the numerical simulation technique, the experimental setup, the configurations of the hydraulic systems under investigation, the instrumentation and the experimental features are given in the article. On the basis of numerical simulation, it has been established that the use of profiled sections with a cross-section in the form of a square in the exhaust system of an ICE leads to a decrease in the heat transfer rate to 5 %. The use of profiled sections in the form of a triangle in the system under consideration causes a more significant decrease in heat transfer, which reaches 11 %. Experimental studies qualitatively confirm the results of simulation.

The purpose of this article is to increase the efficiency of the design process and reduce the cost of field experiments by using numerical analysis methods of the dimensional capacity heating efficiency of the internal combustion engine exhaust system. To solve the problem, a non-stationary nonlinear solver of gas dynamic processes (Siemens STAR-CCM+) was used, which allows to evaluate the correctness of the problem statement, significantly reducing the cost of full-scale tests. The paper considers the heating of a dimensional two-section tank in the layout of the cementing unit on the chassis with a triplex high-pressure pump and a drive from the power take-off box on the gear box of the chassis engine. The exhaust pipe structurally passes inside the measuring tank. According to the research results obtained graphic dependences of temperature change of liquid measuring cups to control points, the distribution of temperature field of the liquid in a volumetric tank, distribution of the temperature field of the surrounding air, stream lines and velocity field of the ambient air and the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines. The results of the calculations clearly show that the application of the method of heating the measuring capacity by entering the exhaust pipe directly into the liquid can be considered effective.

Reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) are widely used as heat engines for converting the chemical energy of a fuel into mechanical work on the crankshaft. Aerodynamic and thermophysical processes in gas exchange systems significantly affect the efficiency of the RICE. This paper examines the possibility of influencing the gas dynamics and heat transfer of pulsating gas flows in the inlet system by placing a channel with grooves. It is known that the presence of grooves in the channel leads to the formation of significant secondary vortices, which radically change the physical picture of the gas flow. The studies were carried out on a laboratory bench, which was a singlecylinder model of a turbocharged RICE. A system of measurements of basic physical quantities is described, taking into account their high dynamics. Techniques for processing experimental data are presented. Primary data on instantaneous values of gas-dynamic and heatexchange characteristics of pulsating flows are presented. It was found that the presence of a channel with grooves in the inlet system leads to a decrease in the degree of turbulence to 40 % and an intensification of heat transfer in the range of 5–50 % compared to the basic inlet system. A positive effect is shown in the form of an increase in engine power by 3 % when using the modernized system.
