Abstract
A compound cycle engine having an output shaft; at least two rotary units each defining an internal combustion engine, a velocity turbine, and a turbocharger is discussed. The velocity turbine includes a rotor in driving engagement with the output shaft between two of the rotary units. The exhaust port of each rotary unit is in fluid communication with the flowpath of the velocity turbine upstream of its rotor. The outlet of the compressor of the turbocharger is in fluid communication with the inlet port of each rotary unit. The inlet of the pressure turbine of the turbocharger is in fluid communication with the flowpath of the velocity turbine downstream of its rotor. A method of compounding at least two rotary engines is also discussed.
