Torque, as an important indicator of the engine, is the reflection of performance of cylinder-embedded piston engine. In power stroke, torque varies at different moments, so if the impact of structural parameters on torque needs to be analyzed, the values of torque in power stroke need to be added together and divide lasting time. The average effective torque is the average of the torque generated by explosive force during the entire power stroke, which overcomes the disadvantages of the instantaneous torque which can not reflect the changes in power process. Therefore, the influence of each structure size on the force transmission performance can be analyzed with maximizing the average effective torque. It is concluded that for increasing the average effective torque, the radius of the hinge center trajectory of cap R should be increased, and the length from rotating center O to the trajectory of piston H should be decreased. The length of rod L has little influence on the average effective torque. However, if there is a too large D-value between R and H, the rod may deflect seriously, so that the piston side force increases, causing the piston wear and tear. So the values of R and H should be selected with specified conditions in the design.

The sealing characteristics of an annular power cylinder based on the Twin-rotor piston engine are studied, which provides a theoretical foundation for the sealing design of a new high-power density piston engine. In this paper, the basis thermodynamic realization process of an annular power cylinder is presented. The Runge Kutta equation is used to establish the coupled leakage model of adjacent working chambers under annular piston seal. And the sealing performance of the annular power cylinder is analyzed in detail. Moreover, the influence of rotor speed and compression ratio on the sealing characteristics and leakage is studied. Finally, some tests are carried out to verify the sealing principle and simulation results, which verifies the theoretical basis of simulation analysis. Results show that there are double pressure peaks in the leakage chamber between two working chambers, which is beneficial to reduce the leakage rate. Besides, increasing the speed and decreasing the compression ratio can help to reduce gas leakage. Furthermore, the effects of speed variation on the leakage are only significant when rotating at low speed. Changing the compression ratio has a greater effect on the slope of the leakage curve at a low compression ratio, and the lower the compression ratio, the better the sealing effect.

With the finite analysis software ANSYS, the key parts and the whole structure of a new twin-rotor piston engine is analyzed, and then the structural modal parameters are obtained by using finite element method in the cases of free modality. Furthermore, the natural vibration characteristics of the twin-rotor piston engine are analyzed, as well as the influence of structural parameters on vibration transfer and radiation noise. The research is expected to lay a foundation for the vibration reduction design of the twin-rotor piston engine.

A unique mechanism is investigated in this paper to show the working principles of a novel hypocycloid twin-rotor piston engine (HTRPE), which provides the basis for the structural design, kinematic and dynamical analysis necessary to realize the engine. As a critical system for the HTRPE, the differential velocity mechanism is examined first by decomposing it into two non-uniform motion mechanisms and one hypocycloid mechanism, which allows an evaluation of different options of design parameters. Then analytical expressions are derived to calculate the rotor angular velocities and the relative angular velocities of pairs of rotors for a detailed performance analysis. Based on the results of this analysis a prototype HTRPE is proposed and benchmarked with both a conventional reciprocating and a Wankel engine. It is shown that the new engine outperforms the other two engines in key engine features including combustion gas force transmission, volumetric change of working chambers, power frequency, piston velocity and displacement, demonstrating that HTRPE is very promising as a more energy efficient engine due to its high compactness and power density, and consequently lightweight design.
