The paper presents a new concept of the turbine engine in the area of pressure gain combustion (PGE). The engine works according to Humphrey’s cycle. Minor modification in construction has allowed power generation of 500 kW, 700 kW, 1000 kW, and 1800 kW. The concept successfully resolved the challenges related to the temporary opening and closing of the combustion chamber. The presented valve timing system has ensured effective gas flow and what stands behind it, an effective process of conversion of a high-pressure gas impulse into mechanical energy. Rotating combustion chambers enabled the application of an effective sealing system. The concept characterizes simple construction and potentially low power-to-weight coefficient. The CFD numerical analysis of the presented engine concept showed very promising effective efficiency and low specific fuel consumption.
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve regulates the exhaust gas flow between the engine exhaust manifold and the inlet one. This allows the inlet air to warm up, improving fuel evaporation and reducing the combustion temperature of the charge. Such a valve reduces the number of harmful substances in the exhaust gases. The valve tends to stick when too much sediment builds on the walls of the exhaust system, especially during driving in urban conditions or when leaks in the vacuum or exhaust pipes occur. A faulty valve causes the engine to run unevenly at idle speed and under light loads. The defective EGR valve weakens the inlet manifold capacity, increases combustion, causes clogging of the particulate filter and damage to the lambda probe. Blocked EGR valve may lead to engine immobilization as a result of its computerized control system operations. A model of an EGR valve for a selected diesel engine was developed to determine velocity distribution of the load flowing in it for different values of the degree of valve opening and the volume of deposits on the valve walls. The volume of accumulated carbon deposits on the walls of the EGR valve was measured using a real engine. Based on the recorded mileage of the vehicle, the assumed average speed of the car and the driving style of the driver and the intensity of deposition of carbon particles on the walls was estimated.
The study involved a numerical analysis of the water dropping process by fixed-wing aircraft. This method, also known as air attack, is used for aerial firefighting, primarily in green areas such as forests and meadows. The conducted calculations allowed for the analysis of the process over time. The calculations were performed based on a SolidWorks model of the M18B Dromader aircraft. After defining the computational domain and setting the boundary conditions, the simulations were carried out using the ANSYS Fluent software. The resulting water dropping area was used to analyze the intensity of water distribution. The volumetric distribution and airflow velocity distribution were analyzed for specified time steps. The boundary layer where air no longer mixes with water during the final phase of water dropping was also determined. The obtained results provide an important contribution to further analyses aimed at optimizing the water dropping process by fixed-wing aircraft.

The paper presents a concept of a new turbine engine with the use of rotating isochoric combustion chambers. In contrast to previously analyzed authors’ engine concepts, here rotating combustion chambers were used as a valve timing system. As a result, several practical challenges could be overcome. An effective ceramic sealing system could be applied to the rotating combustion chambers. It can assure full tightness regardless of thermal conditions and related deformations. The segment sealing elements working with ceramic counter-surface can work as self-alignment because of the centrifugal force acting on them. The isochoric combustion process, gas expansion, and moment generation were analyzed using the CFD tool (computational fluid dynamics). The investigated engine concept is characterized by big energy efficiency and simple construction. Finally, further improvements in engine performance are discussed.
This paper analyses the influence of three different ring-type inlet duct geometries on the performance of a small 1 MW backpressure steam turbine. It examines the efficiency and pressure drop of seven turbine variants, including four spiral inlet geometries and three stages with a mass flow rate around 30 t/h. A one-pipe and two-pipe inlets are analysed from aerodynamical point of view, taking into account stator and rotor blades in three stages without the outlet. An outlet is added to the best variant. Also analysed is the occurrence of vortices in the inlets of the studied variants 1–7 as well as the efficiency, drop pressure, turbine power and mass flow. Finally, the best inlet for a 1 MW steam turbine is suggested.

In the paper, an experimental and numerical flow through various kind of arteries is considered. The flow analyses are carried out on the research set up using Particle Image Velocimetry Method (PIV). The individual components of the research set up are discussed and the measurement methodology is explained. The work consists of two parts. The first one is focused on modelling numerical simulation of the stent installation procedure using an expandable balloon and the flow domain design methodology is described. In the final part, an experimental flow test on an artificial silicone vessel (diameter 3.2 mm) with a stent is performed. The results of the experimental tests are compared with a corresponding numerical simulation. The paper presents numerical simulation for two different flow domains and the results obtained from the experimental tests. In both, the experimental tests and numerical simulation, the pulsatile time dependent flow and pressure characteristic are used. Hemodynamic parameters such as the time average wall shear stress (TAWSS) and velocity vector distribution are analysed. The flow was studied at four Reynolds number values (1223; 2257; 3198; 3762) for the straight vessel and at two values for the vessel containing a stent (1223, 2257). A diameter of the vessel was 3.2 mm. Pulsating blood flow based on the data from the experimental test was analysed. During the numerical simulation it was verified which regions of the vessel had TAWSS values below 0.4 Pa. A satisfactory correlation between outcomes of the numerical simulation and the experimental test was obtained. The flow analysis is conducted in ANSYS Fluent software. Additionally, the methodology for defining the velocity profile at the entrance is presented, in order to form the velocity profile in the first step of analysed cases. The study shows possibility to create a new research set up capable of testing various clinical cases of varying pressure values in the setup, or testing the effects of vessel geometrical changes, which allows observing an influence of those parameters on the fluid flow characteristic. As the analysis for the stent has shown, the regions of low TAWSS values are located in a close proximity to the stent struts.

In recent years, dynamic development of high-speed railways is observed in Europe and in the world. Due to the train speeds increase, aerodynamics of railway vehicles becomes more and more important issue. In the paper, the cross-wind stability problem of a railway vehicle and the influence of the train speed on this phenomenon is discussed. As a derailment risk analysis requires to determine in total six cross-wind aerodynamic forces and moments acting on a given vehicle, a knowledge of six associated with them aerodynamic coefficients is a groundwork for train stability analysis. Two most common methods of analysis of air flow around trains are pointed out – wind tunnel testing and CFD method (Computational Fluid Dynamics method). Both methods are described in the paper, in reference to PN-EN 14067-6:2018-10 and TSI requirements, and later a CFD method is applied to examine a basic train model. The main aim of this preliminary research was to recognize CFD method as a tool for a further research on cross-wind-induced vibrations of a train - bridge system.

The paper presents a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) numerical study for a new design of a plate heat exchanger with two different flow patterns. The impact of geometric characteristics of the two studied geometries of exchanger plates on the intensification process of heat transfer was considered. The velocity, temperature and pressure distributions along the heat exchanger were examined. The CFD results were validated against experimental data and a good agreement was achieved. The results revealed that geometrical arrangement of the plates strongly influence the fluid flow. An increase in the Reynolds number led to lowering the friction factor value and increasing the pressure drop. The configuration II of the plate heat exchanger resulted in lower outlet hot fluid temperature in comparison with the configuration I, which means improvement of heat transfer.

In every boiler plant, including industrial boiler plants of thermal capacity above 2 MW, substantial heat gains are generated during the work of combustion units. As a result, the indoor air temperature raises in the room, which affects thermal comfort of workers operating such technological installations. Therefore, heat removal requires an effective mechanical ventilation system. A numerical analysis of the selected air parameters in a room equipped with combustion devices was undertaken using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations in the DesignBuilder software. This was done for a combustion plant in the “Installation of Thermal Treatment of Sewage Sludge” building, located in the “Group Sewage Treatment Plant” complex of Lodz, Poland. The numerical analysis was based on experimental measurements and the results concerning the personnel work area were compared to the guidelines of the ISO international standard 7730:2005.

The article presents the investigation results of selected effects of the side wind on the passenger ferry in sea condition. The computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis has been carried out in order to calculate the forces and moments acting on the ship superstructure during rolling caused by waves. The performed analysis shows the impact of rolling amplitudes and periods on results. The use of CFD method allows calculating the vertical centre of pressure with various rolling parameters. Numerical analysis has been performed for real size ship model in transient condition. The main object of the research is to define the influence of the wind dumping effect on wave rolling motions. Additional wind dumping effect (besides of other effects) is intending to use in response amplitude operator (RAO) calculations (next part of researches). It is possible that use of additional wind dumping effect will reduce the rolling amplitudes, and consequently reduce ship accelerations due to rolling motions. Reduction of accelerations (especially horizontal), should decrease the requirements due to number of cargo lashes/belts equipment and minimize the lashing time. From other side it should shorten required harbour time and reduce the ship speed, what is the best way to save the fuel.

Przedstawiono model oryginalnej wytłaczarki charakteryzującej się występowaniem dwustożkowej strefy tarczowej. Opisywana konstrukcja jest odmianą wytłaczarki ślimakowo-tarczowej z jednostożkową strefą tarczową. Eksperymentalnie potwierdzono niewielkie oddziaływanie jednostożkowej strefy tarczowej na budowę i właściwości tworzyw. Zmiana konstrukcji strefy tarczowej wytłaczarki ślimakowo-tarczowej dzięki zastosowaniu stożków o dwóch różnych kątach pochylenia i zwiększeniu powierzchni tarcz, pozwoliło na intensywniejsze oddziaływanie charakteru i parametrów przepływu na budowę i właściwości polimeru. Na podstawie analizy numerycznej wyznaczono charakter ruchu cząsteczek polimeru wraz z wartościami prędkości, minimalne i maksymalne wartości szybkości ścinania, a także mapy wektorowe prędkości w dwustożkowej strefie uplastyczniająco-homogenizującej wytłaczarki ślimakowo-tarczowej.
