doc super interesting christophe.
it is probably echo to patent, deposited by Makhonin a little later:
http://v3.espacenet.com/origdoc?DB=EPOD ... =FR1470414
: heavy oil + fuel makhonine, all heated by the exhaust and hop, we get to run a gasoline engine.
but I do not see the connection with water doping
Makhonia fuel would be composed in part of water?
As for the advantage provided by the water vapor (the surface increase of the curve representing the thermodynamic cycle), I made a small simulation.
indeed I found a patent concerning the injection of water into an airplane reactor.
the patent company explains that
adding water vapor increases the heat capacity of the water (cp) and therefore we increase the work done by the turbine.
on an excel file used by a certain engineering school to work on the carnot cycle, I increased the parameter "
heat capacity"and there I noticed ... a decrease in the theoretical work provided
but hey, this modeling does not take account of the "damping" effect of the water vapor (pressure smoothing).
went again a little thought after I stop:
the patent on the injection of water vapor into the aircraft turbine insists on
the importance of the proper mixing of this water vapor with the intake air.
it offers several mixing solution: steam arrival in the radial direction (most commonly seen with the pantone), but also tangential or even axial arrival of the air flow.
notice to our genius retrofiters ...
