Analysis of Design and Construction ConceptThe reciprocating engine can be called as "Piston Engine". The design concept of freepiston has a simple and elegant format for the hydraulic power supply (McGee, Raade &Kazerooni, n.d.). Generally, it is different from the standard reciprocating engines. The work canbe extracted directly from the hot gas, by the process of piston's harnessing linear motion andgives more pressure on the hydraulic fluid. It will produce the result of both pump and enginedesign integration. The below diagram shows the cross section of the free piston.The high pressure is injected along with the catalyst of hydrogen peroxide, on the leftside of the solenoid valve. This catalyst will be decomposed into the oxygen and steam. Then,both will be exhausted through the left catalyst bed. To enable the movement of hydraulic fluidpumps, the high-level pressure is released from the right side of hydraulic cylinder. In both lowerright and upper left valves, the remaining valves are closed when the stroke is presented. Then,the hot gases will be expanded and this can be done until the left exhausted ports can beuncovered by the hot gas piston. At the particular point, the gases will be released into theatmosphere and then the free piston stops its moving process (Romeyn, n.d). Then, again thecycle will be restarted. The right side solenoid valve can be opened on the opposite side of thepiston. The hot gases can be passed into the head of piston, when the gases are moved into theexhausting port.The compressed gas can be released from the left side of the cylinder’s chamber. It issame as the cycle of left-hand process. As the piston is moving towards both left and sides, theoperation can be performed. Thus, it makes the changes in pulsating flow of hydraulic fluid andthis flows from the reservoir, to the accumulator.
