Rotary Wankel Engines as expansion devices in steam Rankine-cycle Engines
Applied Energy, 1991Co-Authors: Osama Badr, S Naik, P. W. O'callaghan, S.douglas ProbertAbstract:Rotary Wankel Engines offer several advantages compared with turbines and other positive-displacement machines as the expansion devices in low-power-output Rankine-cycle Engines. So a Wankel expander was selected as the most appropriate device for a steam Rankine engine, operating principally, as a mini combined heat-and-power unit with a mechanical power output of 5-20 kW. Predictions of the performances of some of the commercially-available designs of Wankel Engines when operating as steam expanders are compared. Two of the machines considered are suitable for the application envisaged. However, the design parameters and operating conditions of these devices need to be optimised.

Wankel Engines as steam expanders: Design considerations
Applied Energy, 1991Co-Authors: Osama Badr, S Naik, P. W. O'callaghan, S.douglas ProbertAbstract:Abstract Rotary Wankel Engines offer several advantages compared with turbines and other positive-displacement machines as the expansion devices in low-power-output Rankine-cycle systems. So a Wankel expander was selected as the most appropriate device for a steam Rankine-engine, operating principally as a mini combined heat-and-power unit, providing a mechanical output of 5–20 kW. A computer-aided-design technique for selecting the optimal geometry and location of the ports of the expander is described: the computer programs are available from the authors. Lubrication and possible material combinations are also discussed.

design of cooling system for micro Wankel Engines and its heat transfer simulation
Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2008Co-Authors: Zhong XiaoAbstract:Micro Engines,the core of micro electromechanical system,have great expectation in future applications.In this paper,a jet cooling system was designed for micro Wankel Engines in laboratory environment.The heat transfer on the wall of engine was simulated with FLUENT.From the simulation results it can be seen that the cooling effect of jet cooling system is good,it can meet the needs of wall temperature.This paper is helpful reference for the cooling of micro Engines in laboratory environment.
