Abstract: A compound engine assembly with at least one rotary internal combustion engine, an impulse turbine, and an exhaust pipe for each internal combustion engine providing fluid communication between the exhaust port of the respective internal combustion engine and the flow path of the turbine. Each exhaust pipe terminates in a nozzle. For each exhaust pipe, a ratio Vp/Vd between the pipe volume Vp and the displacement volume Vd of the respective internal combustion engine is at most 1.5. A minimum value of a cross-sectional area of each exhaust pipe is defined at the nozzle. In one embodiment, a ratio An/Ae between the minimum cross-sectional area An and the cross-sectional area Ae of the exhaust port of the respective internal combustion engine is at least 0.2. A method of compounding at least one rotary engine is also discussed.
