Simulation and thermodynamic analysis of extended expansion on a concept rotary engine including its effects on fuel efficiency

This paper describes a novel method for extended expansion in a rotary combustion engine running ordinary gasoline. The engine consists of a toroidal-shaped piston that rotates around a drum to expand and evacuate the hot gas. There are several problems with today’s internal combustion (IC) engines....
