A model of the novel concept liquid piston engine sourced by waste heat

This paper describes the model of the novel concept liquid piston engine, which is designed to convert low-grade waste heat into electricity. The proposed dynamic oriented model is implemented in Aspen Hysys that enables simulations dynamic simulation of various working agents. The simulation results were verified with experimental data obtained from the research installation. The proposed model demonstrated relatively small discrepancies with respect to experimental research, hence it could be used as a tool for research on optimization of an innovative power plant operation, i.e. various working agents, various operating pressures.
