Modeling and Validation of Engine Cylinder Pressure During Starting of Free-Piston Linear Generator by Brushless Motor Commutation
This paper describes mechanical modeling of a specific configuration of free-piston linear engine-generator (FPLG) during starting, by brushless commutation of linear motor.To account for piston blow-by, or air leakage through piston rings at low starting speeds, the model incorporates an air mass t...
