Abstract: An engine assembly is provided that includes an engine throttle and a supercharger placed in series with one another in air flow to the engine. The throttle and supercharger can be controlled so that throttling losses are selectively distributed across the throttle and/or the supercharger. Throttling losses placed across the supercharger can create torque that can be converted to stored energy.

Abstract: A rotor assembly having a plurality of rotor plates mounted to a shaft, and methods of construction for a rotor assembly are disclosed. Each rotor plate in the assembly may be provided with a central opening extending between the first and second sides through which the shaft extends. In one aspect, the rotor plates are provided with a plurality of lobes extending away from the central opening, wherein each of the lobes has a lobe opening extending through the thickness of the plates. In one embodiment, the rotor plates are rotationally stacked to form a helical rotor.

Abstract: A Rankine cycle system including a Rankine cycle working circuit and a lubrication circuit is disclosed. The lubrication circuit and the Rankine cycle working circuit include a shared segment including a mixture of Rankine cycle working fluid from the Rankine cycle working circuit and lubricant from the lubrication circuit. A separator receives the mixture of Rankine cycle working fluid and lubricant from the shared segment and separates the Rankine cycle working fluid from the lubricant. The separated Rankine cycle working fluid is directed along the Rankine cycle working circuit from the separator to the heating zone and the separated lubricant is directed along the lubrication circuit from the separator to a mechanical expander. The working fluid and lubricant are recombined after passing separately through the expander and are then introduced to the condensing zone.

Abstract: A method for generating mechanical work via a closed-loop Rankine cycle includes heating a working fluid to at least a partial vapor state, generating useful work at a first expansion stage by expanding the working fluid as the working fluid passes through the first expansion stage, generating useful work at a second expansion stage by expanding the working fluid as the working fluid passes through the second expansion stage, generating useful work at a third expansion stage by expanding the working fluid as the working fluid passes through the third expansion stage, and condensing the working fluid to a liquid state.
