The wind is the main factor to influence the propagation of gas in the atmosphere. Therefore, the wind signal obtained by anemometer will provide us valuable clues for searching gas leakage sources. In this paper, the Recurrence Plot (RP) and Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) are applied to analyze the influence of recurrence characteristics of the wind speed time series under the condition of the same place, the same time period and with the sampling frequency of 1hz, 2hz, 4.2hz, 5hz, 8.3hz, 12.5hz and 16.7hz respectively. Research results show that when the sampling frequency is higher than 5hz, the trends of recurrence nature of different groups are basically unchanged. However, when the sampling frequency is set below 5hz, the original trend of recurrence nature is destroyed, because the recurrence characteristic curves obtained using different sampling frequencies appear cross or overlapping phenomena. The above results indicate that the anemometer will not be able to fully capture the detailed information in wind field when its sampling frequency is lower than 5hz. The recurrence characteristics analysis of the wind speed signals provides an important basis for the optimal selection of anemometer.

The sealing characteristics of an annular power cylinder based on the Twin-rotor piston engine are studied, which provides a theoretical foundation for the sealing design of a new high-power density piston engine. In this paper, the basis thermodynamic realization process of an annular power cylinder is presented. The Runge Kutta equation is used to establish the coupled leakage model of adjacent working chambers under annular piston seal. And the sealing performance of the annular power cylinder is analyzed in detail. Moreover, the influence of rotor speed and compression ratio on the sealing characteristics and leakage is studied. Finally, some tests are carried out to verify the sealing principle and simulation results, which verifies the theoretical basis of simulation analysis. Results show that there are double pressure peaks in the leakage chamber between two working chambers, which is beneficial to reduce the leakage rate. Besides, increasing the speed and decreasing the compression ratio can help to reduce gas leakage. Furthermore, the effects of speed variation on the leakage are only significant when rotating at low speed. Changing the compression ratio has a greater effect on the slope of the leakage curve at a low compression ratio, and the lower the compression ratio, the better the sealing effect.

The Rotating Liner Engine (RLE) concept is a design concept for internal combustion engines, where the cylinder liner rotates at a surface speed of 2–4 m/s in order to assist piston ring lubrication. Specifically, we have evidence from prior art and from our own research that the above rotation has the potential to eliminate the metal-to-metal contact/boundary friction that exists close to the piston reversal areas. This frictional source becomes a significant energy loss, especially in the compression/expansion part of the cycle, when the gas pressure that loads the piston rings and skirts is high. This paper describes the Diesel RLE prototype constructed from a Cummins 4BT and the preliminary observations from initial low load testing. The critical technical challenge, namely the rotating liner face seal, appears to be operating with negligible gas leakage and within the hydrodynamic lubrication regime for the loads tested (peak cylinder pressures of the order of 100 bar) and up to about 10 bar BMEP (brake mean effective pressure). Preliminary testing has proven that the metal-to-metal contact in the piston assembly mostly vanished, and a friction reduction at idle conditions of about 40% as extrapolated to a complete engine has taken place. It is expected that as the speed increases, the friction reduction percentage will diminish, but as the load increases, the friction reduction will increase. The fuel economy benefit over the US Heavy-Duty driving cycle will likely be of the order of 10% compared to a standard engine.
