Performances analysis of a cam engine [articol]

Abstract

Improving the performances of internal combustion engines is a continuous goal. Trying by all means increasing efficiency and thus reducing fuel consumption and emissions. One tested way would be to replace crank and connecting rod mechanism with a cam mechanism. In this way it could change how the processes occurs in the engine, and in particular the combustion process. In this paper are analyzed by numerical simulation advantages that such a constructive solution would entail. The analysis is done by comparing the cam engine with the classic one from which it is derived
