50 High efficiency thermodynamics: Simulation results from GT-power Indicated efficiency 65,2% Brake efficiency 60.5%

51 Any text book on ICE: Is 65% possible? Ideal cycle with heat addition at constant volume: With a compression ratio of 60:1 and γ=1.4 we get an efficiency of 80,6% 51

There are a few drawbacks Peak cylinder pressure [bar] 1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 Peak cylinder pressure as function of compression ratio Lambda = 1.

52 There are a few drawbacks Peak cylinder pressure [bar] Peak cylinder pressure as function of compression ratio Lambda = 1.2 Lambda = 3.0 Engine structure must be very robust (if at all possible) Very high friction and hence lower mechanical efficiency Compression ratio 52

53 There are a few drawbacks Thermodynamic efficiency as function of compression ratio No heat transfer losses With heat transfer losses (Woschni) Thermodynamic efficiency [%] Compression ratio 53

54 How then make 60:1 usable? Swedish proverb: Den late förtar sig hellre än går två gånger Which according to google translate means: The lazy man rather breaks his back than walk twice 54

55 How about Take it in steps! 60 = If we divide the compression in two equal stages the total pressure (and temperature) ratio will be the product of the two 7.75:1 x 7.75:1=60:1 With a peak pressure of 300 bar the pressure expansion ratio is 300:1 and hence 300^(1/1.4)= in volume ratio (gamma=1.25 during expansion gives 96:1) 55
