Increasing the efficiency of an internal combustion engine is possible thanks to the use of an extended expansion stroke relative to the suction stroke. This solution was first patented by James Atkinson in the construction of an internal combustion engine in the XIX century. The article presents a solution using the principle of extended expansion stroke. In the design of Szymkowiak's proprietary engine, a conceptual crank-piston system was used with additional elements enabling the Atkinson cycle to be obtained. A 3D model was created based on which forces acting in the system were tested. The generated piston path profile allowed to characterize its movement. A mobile mesh of the combustion chamber was created, thanks to this a detailed CFD simulation was performed in the AVL Fire software. An important criterion was the assumption of adiabatic characteristics of processes during the combustion.
