| Abstract [eng] |
The work deals with the design of the Wankel engine with an improved new apex seal. The motion study analysis is about the velocity at rotor vertex, contact forces and frictional forces. The computational fluid analysis is conducted to the designed model at 120bar pressure (power stroke) and the obtained results are exported to static FEA study. Static analysis is conducted to the rotor with different materials. The fatigue study is conducted to the rotor to check the life of the rotor by using Solidworks and theoretical calculations. Different types of rotary profiles are designed by manipulating K-factor. CFD analysis was carried out for a different rotary profile to check how K-factor influencing in Leakage and working chamber. The investigations conducted in the work justified the proposed new design solutions. |
