It is a relevant objective in thermal physics and piston engine construction to develop technical solutions for controlling the gas dynamics and heat exchange of gas flows in the intake system of turbocharged engines in order to improve performance. The article presents other authors’ data on the improvement of processes in the gas exchange systems of piston engines. It also provides a description of experimental set-ups, instruments, measurement tools and research methods for establishing the thermal-mechanical characteristics of pulsating flows in the intake system of a turbocharged engine. The instantaneous values of the gas flow rate and the local heat transfer coefficient were determined using the measured results by applying a constant temperature hot-wire anemometer (H-WA). The article describes technical solutions for influencing the gas dynamics and heat exchange of gas flows by stabilising and turbulising the flow. The regularities of changes in the instantaneous values of the flow velocity, pressure and the local heat transfer coefficient in time for a pulsating gas flow with different intake system configurations are obtained. It is shown that the installation of a levelling grid in the compressor outlet channel leads to the stabilisation of the flow and the suppression of heat transfer in the engine intake system by an average of 15% compared to the base system. It was found that the presence of a channel with grooves in the intake system leads to flow turbulisation and the intensification of heat transfer in the intake system by an average of 25%.

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.

Thermomechanical characteristics of the gas flow at the turbocharger compressor outlet largely determine the quality of the intake process in piston engines with boost. The article presents the results of an experimental study of gas-dynamics and heat transfer of gas flows after compression in a turbocharger centrifugal compressor. A brief description of the experimental setup, the configuration of pipes under investigation, the measuring system and the experimental features are given. The studies were carried out on a free compressor, i.e. without considering the piston part. Different conditions in the compressor outlet channel were created by installing special nozzles with different hydraulic resistances. It has been established that the local heat transfer increases from 23 to 46 % with an increase in the turbocharger rotor speed, depending on the outlet channel configuration. It should be noted that an increase in rotor speed is also accompanied by an increase in air flow through the channel. The increase in flow rate was from 10 to 42 %.
