Supporting the Development of the EPIC Engine Year 4
Abstract
The University of Maryland~s role in the Extreme Power Internal Combustion (EPIC) Engine project in year 4 is to develop a thermodynamic model of the latest version of the EPIC engine design for the purpose of a) prioritizing work to address leaks, b) identifying design changes that improve volumetric efficiency, and c) predicting the performance of a prototype engine. One graduate student will work full-time to develop the model with the supervision and assistance of the PI. The impact of the proposed work will be higher power/weight ratio engines which will lead to lighter, faster, more efficient ground vehicles with more room for payload.
