Design and Prototyping of a Wankel Engine
公开 DepositedThe purpose of this project is to design and manufacture a functional Wankel engine. A Wankel engine utilizes volume changes of an eccentrically turning rotor in a housing for power cycles. As the internal rotor of a Wankel engine rotates, the volume of its combustion chamber cyclically changes. The resulting volume changes of the combustion chamber create the intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust necessary for a thermal power cycle. The primary components of the prototype were designed by the team to be manufactured using the CNC machining equipment available at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. This Major Qualifying Project report outlines the team’s process of designing, machining, and testing to produce a fully functional prototype of the engine.
