Проведен анализ технологических возможностей двухкамерных устройств для листовой штамповки с одной и двумя камерами сгорания. В устройствах с одной камерой сгорания штамповка детали происходит в холодном состоянии заготовки под действием на нее гибкой среды за счет кинетической энергии поршня, ускоряемого продуктами сгорания газообразной топливной смеси. В устройствах с двумя камерами сгорания процесс штамповки совершается с нагревом заготовки воздействием на нее горячего газа, образованного при сгорании в верхней камере предварительно сжатой топливной смеси. При этом сжатие смеси осуществляется за счет энергии продуктов сгорания, образованных в нижней камере сгорания. Доказано, что устройства с одной камерой сгорания целесообразно использовать для штамповки из пластичных сортов сталей деталей разнообразной формы толщиной до 4 мм и из пластичных цветных сплавов толщиной до 8 мм. Устройства с двумя камерами сгорания целесообразно использовать для штамповки деталей из малопластичных сортов алюминиевых, титановых сплавов и других труднодеформируемых сплавов. Двухкамерные устройства для листовой штамповки обладают широкими технологическими возможностями и могут быть эффективно использованы в мелкосерийных производствах для штамповки деталей различной формы We carried out the analysis of technological capabilities of two-chamber devices for sheet stamping with one and two combustion chambers. In devices with one combustion chamber, the stamping process is carried out in the cold state of the workpiece by the action of an elastic medium on it, using the kinetic energy of the piston accelerated by the combustion products of the gaseous fuel mixture. In devices with two combustion chambers, the stamping process is carried out with the heating of the workpiece by the action of the hot gas formed during combustion in the upper chamber of the pre-compressed fuel mixture. In this case, the mixture is compressed due to the energy of the combustion products formed in the lower chamber. We established that devices with one combustion chamber are expedient to be used for stamping parts of various shapes with a thickness of up to 4 mm and from plastic non-ferrous alloys with a thickness of up to 8 mm from ductile steels. Devices with two combustion chambers are advisable to be used for stamping parts from low-plastic grades of aluminum, titanium alloys and other hard-to-deform alloys. Two-chamber devices for sheet stamping have wide technological capabilities and can be effectively used in small-scale production for stamping parts of various shapes

In many industries, the share of small-scale production plants is significant. In these conditions, compared with traditional methods of pressure treatment, pulse pressure treatment methods, one of the varieties of which is gas stamping, are more efficient. However, the known devices of gas stamping provide mainly stamping of thin-walled parts. To expand the technological capabilities of gas stamping, the authors developed a gas stamping device with a piston pressure multiplier, in which heating and deformation of the stamping workpiece is carried out using the energy of combustion of fuel mixtures in the combustion chamber, in the working cylinder and in the cavity of the matrix. This article is devoted to the study of the workflow of this device. Theoretical analysis of the workflow was carried out, and, as a result, a pattern was determined for the variation of the pressure that performs the stamping process in the working cylinder. In particular, it was found that at the final stage of the stamping process, due to the energy of combustion of the fuel mixture, the pressure in the working cylinder increases 1.5...2 times, which allows a significant increase in the thickness of the parts to be stamped. An experimental gas stamping device with a piston pressure multiplier was developed, and experimental studies were carried out. The studies confirmed the main results of the theoretical analysis: the discrepancy between the theoretical and experimental values of the degree of pressure multiplication in the working cylinder does not exceed 11%.

The challenges facing engine developers, aimed at improving the technical and operational characteristics, more stringent environmental standards, make the work aimed at increasing the efficiency of ignition, systems highly relevant. Technologies of prechamber, arc ignition, and ignition by corona discharge known to date require significant energy costs. In addition, ignition of a fuel mixture by such systems is local which leads to the limitation in the burning rate, incomplete combustion of fuel, and formation of harmful impurities in combustion products. Volumetric or multipoint ignition may significantly increase the effectiveness of the use of ignition systems. The use of a subcritical streamer microwave discharge, which is a network of thin hot channels propagating in the volume of the combustion chamber, seems promising because it provides virtually instantaneous ignition of the mixture in the entire volume. In this paper, the results of experiments using a subcritical streamer microwave discharge are presented. The possibility of volumetric ignition and a substantial increase in the completeness of fuel combustion is demonstrated. A number of indirect evidences indicate the absence of nitrogen oxides in combustion products. The results can be applied to the development of multivolumetric ignition systems in internal combustion engines, gas pumping units, power gas turbines, low-emission combustion chambers, etc.

The work presented in this paper compares the performance and emissions of the UBC “Squish-Jet” fast-burn combustion chamber with a baseline bowl-in-piston (BIP) chamber. It was found that the increased turbulence generated in the fastburn combustion chambers resulted in 5 to 10 percent faster burning of the air–fuel mixture compared to a conventional BIP chamber. The faster burning was particularly noticeable when operating with lean air–fuel mixtures. The study was conducted at a 1.7 mm clearance height and 10.2:1 compression ratio. Measurements were made over a range of air–fuel ratios from stoichiometric to the lean limit. At each operating point all engine performance parameters, and emissions of nitrogen oxides, unburned hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide were recorded. At selected operating points a record of cylinder pressure was obtained and analyzed off-line to determine mass-burn rate in the combustion chamber. Two piston designs were tested at wide-open throttle conditions and 2000 rpm to determine the influence of piston geometry on the performance and emissions parameters. The UBC squish-jet combustion chamber design demonstrates significantly better performance parameters and lower emission levels than the conventional BIP design. Mass-burn fraction calculations showed a significant reduction in the time to burn the first 10 percent of the charge, which takes approximately half of the time to burn from 10 to 90 percent of the charge.

The appliance of modern tools of the computational fluid dynamics for the investigation of the pulsation processes in the combustion chamber caused by the design features of flame tubes and aerodynamic interaction compressor, combustor and turbine is discussed. The aim of the research is to investigate and forecast the non-stationary processes in the gas turbine combustion chambers. The results of the numerical experiments which were carried out using three-dimensional mathematical models in gaseous fuels combustion chambers reflect sufficiently the physical and chemical processes of the unsteady combustion and can be recommended to optimize the geometrical and operational parameters of the low-emission combustion chamber. The appliance of such mathematical models are reasonable for the development of new samples of combustors which operate at the lean air-fuel mixture as well as for the modernization of the existing chambers with the aim to develop the constructive measures aimed at reducing the probability of the occurrence of the pulsation combustion modes. Keywords: gas turbine engine, combustor, turbulent combustion, pulsation combustion, numerical methods, mathematical simulation.

A “High Efficiency Hybrid Cycle” (HEHC) thermodynamic cycle is explored. This four-stroke cycle borrows elements from Otto, Diesel, Atkinson, and Rankine cycles. Air is compressed into an isolated combustion chamber, allowing for true isochoric combustion, and extended duration for combustion to proceed until completion. Combustion products expand into a chamber with greater volume than intake. We provide details of a compact HEHC design implementation using rotary pistons and isolated rotating combustion chambers. Two Pistons simultaneously rotate and reciprocate and are held in position by two roller bearings. One Piston performs intake and compression, while the other performs exhaust and expansion. We predict a reduction of energy losses, moving part counts, weight and size over conventional engines.

The design and operational development of gas turbine combustors is a complex process, involving a great volume of design and experimental work. The application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods allows to lower the volume of experimental works on operational development of combustors and to make changes to the design of combustion chambers on early design stages. In this paper the application of commercial CFD package CFX-TASCflow for calculation of flow structure and analysis of nitric oxide formation process in the combustion chamber of the PS-90A gas turbine and its modifications is considered. The results of the analysis show, that the basic determinative criterion of a nitric oxide emission level is the residence time of a combustion products in high-temperature zones. With help of this criterion, an optimization of the PS-90A combustion chamber was performed. A design of an optimized combustion chamber allows to achieve a low level of nitric oxide emissions.

Heat generators producing hot fuel mixture combustion products for further heat treatment of different materials by these products are widely used in various industries. They are used, for example, in the operation of drying plants, disposal of hazardous waste, and production of building materials. Currently, there is a need to create mobile heat and gas generators suitable for transportation and rapid deployment in the field. The purpose of the work carried out in BMSTU was the development of all-metal heat and gas generators for use in drying units. In the course of the development the accumulated experience in working out the combustion chambers of rocket and air-jet engines was realized. Methodology was developed to calculate distribution of key parameters of working process occurring in the combustion chamber of the mobile heat generator on the fuel components of the air–natural gas: optimal scheme of mixing was selected by numerical simulation, the calculated fields of combustion product temperatures and concentrations of fuel components in combustion chamber volume were obtained. To implement practically the working process and to confirm the correctness of the calculations a heat and gas generator was designed and experimentally tested. Comparison of calculated and experimental data showed satisfactory agreement of the results.

The study was initiated to determine the possibility of using a.c/d.c heat source to power table incubators for domestic and small scale production of chicks. A low cost electrical incubator with a capacity for 60 eggs was designed and used for the study. The incubator was provided with a kerosene lantern to supplement the a.c/d.c heat source during prolonged power failure, with the combustion products from the lantern prevented from having contact with eggs. The incubator was equally provided with a fan to assist air circulation. Three tests were conducted. The temperature and relative humidity in the incubator during the tests were found to be adequate and within the recommended limits. The actual percentage hatchability in the incubator was relatively low with a maximum record of 18.75%. it was found that the embryos in the fertilized but unhatched eggs actually developed but died in shell within the 18th and 21st day of incubation. It was also found that almost all the embryos that died were fully developed when the shells were broken after the incubation period. Preventing such occurrences would improve the hatchability result of the incubator. This could be achieved by improving the ventilation in the incubator and improving on the present design.

The article analyzes the influence of chemical composition of hythane (a mixture of natural gas with hydrogen) on pressure in an engine combustion chamber. A review of the literature has showed the relevance of using hythane in transport energy industry, and also revealed a number of scientific papers devoted to studying the effect of hythane on environmental and traction-dynamic characteristics of the engine. We have studied a single-cylinder spark-ignited internal combustion engine. In the experiments, the varying factors are: engine speed (600 and 900 min-1), excess air ratio and hydrogen concentration in natural gas which are 29, 47 and 58% (volume).The article shows that at idling engine speed maximum pressure in combustion chamber depends on excess air ratio and proportion hydrogen in the air-fuel mixture – the poorer air-fuel mixture and greater addition of hydrogen is, the more intense pressure increases. The positive effect of hydrogen on pressure is explained by the fact that addition of hydrogen contributes to increase in heat of combustion fuel and rate propagation of the flame. As a result, during combustion, more heat is released, and the fuel itself burns in a smaller volume. Thus, the addition of hydrogen can ensure stable combustion of a lean air-fuel mixture without loss of engine power. Moreover, the article shows that, despite the change in engine speed, addition of hydrogen, excess air ratio, type of fuel (natural gas and gasoline), there is a power-law dependence of the maximum pressure in engine cylinder on combustion chamber volume. Processing and analysis of the results of the foreign and domestic researchers have showed that patterns we discovered are applicable to engines of different designs, operating at different speeds and using different hydrocarbon fuels. The results research presented allow us to reduce the time and material costs when creating new power plants using hythane and meeting modern requirements for power, economy and toxicity.
