Abstract
An internal combustion engine is the most widely used power source for an automobile. In order to resolve environmental problems resulting from the use of internal combustion engines, environmentally friendly automobiles such as hybrid, electric, and air-engine vehicles are being developed. The share of hybrid vehicles using battery or pure electric vehicles, which are not popular, is gradually increasing. Compared to an electric vehicle, which uses an electric motor, air-engine vehicles, which use compressed air, have hardly been developed. In this study, a compressed air engine with a scroll expander is introduced, and the potential mileage of an automobile utilizing this engine is theoretically calculated.
