We are developing an engine with pistons and cylinders that do not reciprocate... in other words the inertia of the pistons is constant at a given engine speed. More on that latter if you wish.
We are looking for a method to calculate the efficiency losses in a conventional internal combustion reciprocating engine due to the starting and stopping of the pistons and piston rods (inertial changes) during each revolution of the crank shaft.
Any ideas?
