Supporting the Development of the EPIC Engine
Abstract
Abstract: The University of Maryland will assist engineers at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren develop a new engine by providing guidance on its initial design, measuring the performance of a small (~15 Hp) prototype, and then measuring the performance of subsequent designs in support of the re-design/test design refinement loop. Basic parameters to be measured are engine torque, speed, and fuel flow rate. Other parameters like exhaust gas temperature, surface temperature distribution, effective cylinderpressure, air flow rate, and NOx, CO, and unburned hydrocarbons concentrations in the exhaust gas willbe measured as needed to further refine and develop the engine. The work will be performed by a graduate student working in collaboration with Professor Christopher Cadou in the Department of Aerospace Engineering???s Aero Power and Propulsion Laboratory (APPL).Supporting the Development of the EPIC Engine
