Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ignition source was constructed that is capable of producing a pulsed corona discharge for the purpose of igniting mixtures in a test chamber. This corona generator is adaptable for use as the ignition source for one cylinder on a test engine. The first tests were performed in a cylindrical shaped chamber to study the characteristics of the corona and analyze various electrode geometries. Next a test chamber was constructed that closely represented the dimensions of the combustion chamber of the test engine at USC. Combustion tests were performed in this chamber and various electrode diameters and geometries were tested. The data acquisition and control system hardware for the USC engine lab was updated with new equipment. New software was also developed to perform the engine control and data acquisition functions. Work is underway to design a corona electrode that will fit in the new test engine and be capable igniting the mixture in one cylinder at first and eventually in all four cylinders. A test engine was purchased for the project that has two spark plug ports per cylinder. With this configuration it will be possible to switch between corona ignition and conventional spark plug ignition without making any mechanical modifications.
Download or read book Natural Gas written by Sreenath Gupta and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-10-31 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural gas has traditionally been used as a feedstock for the chemical industry, and as a fuel for process and space heating. Recent advances in exploration, drilling techniques and hydraulic fracturing have made it possible for natural gas to become available in abundance (as of 2012). As natural gas displaces traditional petroleum use in various sectors, a certain amount of disruption is likely. In such a changing landscape, this book tries to chronicle the state-of-the-art in various aspects of natural gas: exploration, drilling, gas processing, storage, distribution, end use and finally the impact on financial markets. Review articles as well as research papers contributed by leading authorities around the world comprise individual chapters of this book. Modeling approaches, as well as, recent advances in specific natural gas technologies are covered in detail.
Download or read book Ignition Systems for Gasoline Engines written by Michael Günther and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume includes selected and reviewed papers from the 3rd Conference on Ignition Systems for Gasoline Engines in Berlin in November 2016. Experts from industry and universities discuss in their papers the challenges to ignition systems in providing reliable, precise ignition in the light of a wide spread in mixture quality, high exhaust gas recirculation rates and high cylinder pressures. Classic spark plug ignition as well as alternative ignition systems are assessed, the ignition system being one of the key technologies to further optimizing the gasoline engine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ignition systems have fundamentally remained unchanged since the dawn of the internal combustion engine industry. In order to respond to new legislation, the necessary improvement on fuel economy and lowering emissions, new technologies are being considered to attain increasingly strict parameters. One of such technologies is the use of a corona discharge ignition system. Corona discharge or partial discharge is a phenomenon where high voltage combined with high frequency and high spatial gradient creates an ionic plasma region around the electrode with high ionizing effect on the surrounding medium. This phenomenon has been recorded and studied in the past, but has only recently been proposed as an ignition source, with several interesting advantages over century-old sparkplug arc ignition technology. The matter of this thesis is to analyze the physics of the phenomenon, to construct a device capable of performing measurements on the phenomenon, and ultimately to test if such an ignition device is possible and useful in the industry. Furthermore, any results determined by this thesis will be able to set a starting point for further research on the matter.

Download or read book Effects of Corona Spark and Surface Discharges on Ignition Delay and Deflagration to Detonation Times in Pulsed Detonation Engines Postprint written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the research described herein is to compare the ignition delays in an experimental pulsed detonation engine produced by thermal and non-thermal ignitions. The commercial thermal ignition has a pulse duration of about 1 microsec, whereas the non-thermal ignitions have pulse durations of 100 nanosec. Ignition delay is an important factor, along with fill and purge times, that limit the maximum repetition rate and thrust of pulsed detonation engines. For stoichiometric fuel-air mixtures with aviation gasoline at 1 atmosphere and 360 - 480 K, an ignition delay of 6 millisec was observed with a non-thermal ignition, whereas the ignition delay was 11 millisec with an aftermarket automotive ignition. By replacing the resistive cable and resistor of the aftermarket ignition with a non-resistive cable and surface discharge igniter, its ignition delay was reduced to 7 millisec, which is comparable to that produced by the non-thermal ignitions.
