Two-process rotary internal combustion engine, achieved
by two thermal processes occurring alternatively in
the rotary mechanical configuration.
Rotary mechanical configuration enables the Krajnovic
process to take place, in which fuel burning occurs,
with part of the heat being accumulated in the walls
of the system. By utilizing accumulated heat of the
system, Carnot cycle is realized over the revolutions
of system cooling, whereby an amount of useful work
is gained. The process is governed by two thermal processes
taking place alternatively and by addition of the heat
to the working fluid in the same system in two manners.
By isolating system from the environment, part of the
heat is utilized which is in present-day designs rejected
by radiation. By adding auxiliary expansion volume,
better utilization of heat of burnt gases is achieved.
