Comprehensive Model of a Hydraulic Free Piston Engine
The
free piston engine (FPE) is a type of engine with no crankshaft, allowing for
less restricted, piston motion. Since
this technology is still in its developmental phase, my contribution to the
research has been to produce a comprehensive model of engine operation in
Simulink. The FPE has the potential to
greatly increase fuel efficiency of on- and off-road vehicles because, with
fewer moving parts, there is much less friction present than in the widely used
internal combustion engine.
