Theoretical Torque Comparison Between Revetec Engine And Conventional Internal Combustion Engine

Revetec engine is a new engine arrangement used to increase engine’s efficiency by replacing the crankshaft and the connecting rod used in conventional engines by cams. In this research a computational work done to measure the torque given by the conventional engine (engine with crankshaft) and the new one which uses cams. After calculating the cylinder pressure – supposing that the two engines have the same cylinder bore, speed, piston displacement, piston mass and the same heat addition- the torque in each engine calculated. The results show that the new engine has a bigger torque than the conventional engines, and that means a bigger efficiency.

Keywords: Revetec, internal combustion engines, torque calculation, cam profile.
