Combustion Engine and Boiler Program Update - Rotary Steam Engine Group

The Rotary Steam Engine Group has recently completed several critical analyses on various fuels, ranking them based on cost per gallon and efficiency. While engine calculations remain unchanged, heat transfer calculations for the boiler are still ongoing and expected to complete next week. Condenser analyses, including internal forced convection and conduction, are progressing well. We are also working on Finite Element Analysis, evaluating the 3D model from Spindyne. Please note, some details remain confidential due to our signed nondisclosure agreement.

  1. Rotary Steam Engine Group Members: Brent Bass, Kenneth Ewa, Jesse Buck, Christian Diaz, Shane Gillispie, Michael Hargett, Dylan Hinson, Jonathan Labonte, Andre Lawrence, Franklin Spruill, David Allgood

  2. Nondisclosure Agreement • Some vital materials used are subject to a signed non-disclosure agreement. Please respect that some questions may not be fully explained due to the NDA.

  3. Combustion • Since the midterm: • The programs and analysis have been completed. • We completed analysis on each fuel (6). • We ranked the fuels based off of cost per gallon and efficiency

  4. Combustion: Raw Data

  5. Combustion: Initial Stoichiometric Testing

  6. Combustion

  7. Engine • The engine calculations have been completed since before the midterm. No new information to report. • Meeting with Dr. Taylor has been scheduled to check validity of our program. • We are working on illustrating the process so it is easier to understand for the audience.

  8. Boiler • Currently: • The boiler’s heat transfer calculation is still in progress. Estimated to be completed next week.

  9. Heat loss due to convection Condenser and Pump • Condenser – Analysis Models • Internal Forced Convection - Complete • Conduction – On Going • External Forced Convection – Complete • Radiation – Complete (negligible) • Feed Water Pump – Analysis Model • Temperature Difference Across the Pump - Complete • Power Required to Run Pump – Complete • Cavitation – On Going (Cond. Pressure Drop/Buffer Tank) • Currently researching commercial water pump to handle required conditions.

  10. Finite Element Analysis • Currently we are trying to analysis the 3D model provided from Spindyne. • We could possibly change that to a 2D analysis due to time constraints.
