Download or read book Engine Technology Inlet Manifold Efficiency written by Andrew Greaney and published by . This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most engine technology are difficult to read, use jargon and waffle on subjects that are not useful to the reader. The book aims to give the reader knowledge around inlet (intake) manifold efficiency by improving the mass airflow rate through a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT inlet manifold with a plenum chamber. The reader is given useful information and a deep understand behind airflow through an inlet manifold, engine kinetics, resonance of air induction, reverse airflow and design methods used to make the most of these phenomena's. Subjects explored include why achieving a greater mass flow rate through the inlet system creates more torque, power and volumetric efficiency, engine airflow, inlet valve closing angles, engine airflow equations, valve timing, pulse/inertia tuning and frequency equations. A case study is also demonstrated within this book using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to show how tuning an inlet manifold to efficiently take advantage to the airflow and resonance. Containing useful references for more background reading if desired, this book is your one stop shop on covering engine inlet manifolds!

This book was released on 1999 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reports on the significant developments over the past two decades in designing manifolds for internal combustion engines, and shows how mature the calculation of one-dimensional, unsteady flow has become. Particularly describes how many of the limitations of the Method of Characteristics, used to calculate the unsteady flow of the compressible gases in the engine, can be removed by applying finite volume techniques, resulting in more accurate simulations and allowing more rapid and robust calculation. Helps practicing and student engineers understand how wave action in the inlet and exhaust manifolds of reciprocating engines affects the performance of the engine. Distributed in the US by ASME.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 874 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Diarmuid Downs, CBE, FEng, FRS Engineering is about designing and making marketable artefacts. The element of design is what principally distinguishes engineering from science. The engineer is a creator. He brings together knowledge and experience from a variety of sources to serve his ends, producing goods of value to the individual and to the community. An important source of information on which the engineer draws is the work of the scientist or the scientifically minded engineer. The pure scientist is concerned with knowledge for its own sake and receives his greatest satisfaction if his experimental observations fit into an aesthetically satisfying theory. The applied scientist or engineer is also concerned with theory, but as a means to an end. He tries to devise a theory which will encompass the known experimental facts, both because an all embracing theory somehow serves as an extra validation of the facts and because the theory provides us with new leads to further fruitful experimental investigation. I have laboured these perhaps rather obvious points because they are well exemplified in this present book. The first internal combustion engines, produced just over one hundred years ago, were very simple, the design being based on very limited experimental information. The current engines are extremely complex and, while the basic design of cylinder, piston, connecting rod and crankshaft has changed but little, the overall performance in respect of specific power, fuel economy, pollution, noise and cost has been absolutely transformed.

Download or read book Assessment of Fuel Economy Technologies for Light Duty Vehicles written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-06-03 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various combinations of commercially available technologies could greatly reduce fuel consumption in passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles, minivans, and other light-duty vehicles without compromising vehicle performance or safety. Assessment of Technologies for Improving Light Duty Vehicle Fuel Economy estimates the potential fuel savings and costs to consumers of available technology combinations for three types of engines: spark-ignition gasoline, compression-ignition diesel, and hybrid. According to its estimates, adopting the full combination of improved technologies in medium and large cars and pickup trucks with spark-ignition engines could reduce fuel consumption by 29 percent at an additional cost of $2,200 to the consumer. Replacing spark-ignition engines with diesel engines and components would yield fuel savings of about 37 percent at an added cost of approximately $5,900 per vehicle, and replacing spark-ignition engines with hybrid engines and components would reduce fuel consumption by 43 percent at an increase of $6,000 per vehicle. The book focuses on fuel consumption-the amount of fuel consumed in a given driving distance-because energy savings are directly related to the amount of fuel used. In contrast, fuel economy measures how far a vehicle will travel with a gallon of fuel. Because fuel consumption data indicate money saved on fuel purchases and reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, the book finds that vehicle stickers should provide consumers with fuel consumption data in addition to fuel economy information.
