Abstract
The twin crankshaft engine is anew configuration of internal combustion engine that introduced to solve the engine liner wear problems, increase the engine efficiency and it has other advantages over conventional engines. In this research, a computational work was carried out to compare the performance of three l engine configurations, namely, the conventional (inline) engine, the offset crankshaft engine and the twin crankshaft engine, of the same cylinder bore, speed, crank arm, piston mass and heat addition. The performance measured was the side thrust force that causes liner wear and the output torque. Results showed that the twin crankshaft engine is superior in terms of torque which means it has larger efficiency than the other configurations.
