The paper presents an analysis of the fluid flow in the cooling system of an internal combustion engine with oposite pistons.The purpose of the work was to optimize the flow of fluid through the channels located in the engine block. Simulation studies and subsequent iterations were performed using Ansys Fluent software. Two-equation k-epsilon turbulence model was used in the simulation model. Boundary and initial conditions were taken from previously made simulations conducted in AVL Boost software. The average wall temperature of the cylinder and the temperature of the outer walls of the cylinder were assumed for simulations. The results of the analyzes were graphically illustrated by the speed streamline distribution of velocity fields and temperature.

A micro cogeneration unit based on a three-cylinder internal combustion engine, Skoda MPI 1.0 L compressed natural gas (CNG), with an output of 25 kW at 3000 RPM is proposed in this paper. It is a relatively simple engine, which is already adopted by the manufacturer to operate on CNG. The engine life and design correspond to the original purpose of use in the vehicle. A detailed dynamic model was created in the GT-SUITE environment and implemented into an energy balance model that includes its internal combustion engine, heat exchangers, generator, battery storage, and water storage tank. The 1D internal combustion engine model provides us with information on engine start-up time, actual effective power, friction power, and the amount of heat going to the cooling system and exhaust pipe. The catalytic converter was removed from the exhaust pipe, and the engine was always operating at full load; thus, engine power control is not considered. An energy storage system for an island operation of the entire power unit for a large, detached house was designed to withstand accumulated energy for a few days in the case of a breakout. To reach a low initial system cost, the possible implementation of worn-out battery packs toward emission reduction in terms of the second life of the battery is proposed. The energy and emission balance are carried out, and the service life of the engine is also discussed.

Multidisciplinary Modeling

The internal combustion power equipment is a typical cyber-physical system (CPS). The traditional design method is to separate the information system from the physical system, and then to simulate and optimize separately every system. That can not achieve the best performance. Aiming at the internal combustion power equipment with multi-disciplinary deep integration, this paper establishes the multi-disciplinary model of the whole and key components based on Dymola software. There are mainly mechanical system, combustion system, cooling system, control system and other simulation models, including deceleration and fuel cut-off control unit modeling, start-stop control unit modeling and speed limit control unit modeling. The performance of each model is simulated and analyzed. The mathematical models of engine characteristic curve and fuel supply rate curve are established through experimental study. Finally, taking the simulation model of automobile power system as an example, the simulation calculation and experimental verification are carried out, and the relationship among fuel supply rate, torque, speed and valve of internal combustion engine is obtained, as well as the cooling capacity of the cooling system is studied. The experimental results show that the maximum error between the simulation speed curve and the actual speed curve is within ± 2 km/h. The research results of this paper can provide theoretical basis for multidisciplinary modeling and simulation of internal combustion power equipment, and also provide technical support for performance analysis of internal combustion engine.
