Download or read book Fuel Engine Interactions written by Gautam Kalghatgi and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional fossil fuels will constitute the majority of automotive fuels for the foreseeable future but will have to adapt to changes in engine technology. Unconventional transport fuels such as biofuels, gas-to-liquid fuels, compressed natural gas, and liquid petroleum gas will also play a role. Hydrogen might be a viable transport fuel if it overcomes barriers in production, transport, storage, and safety and/or if fuel cells become viable. This book opens by considering these issues and then introduces practical transport fuels. A chapter on engine deposits follows, which is an important practical topic about how fuels affect engines that is not usually considered in other books. The next three chapters discuss auto-ignition phenomena in engines. The auto-ignition resistance of fuels is the most important fuel property since it limits the efficiency of spark ignition engines and determines the performance of compression ignition engines. Moreover, the manufacture of fuels is primarily driven by the need to meet auto-ignition quality demands set by fuel specifications. The final chapter considers the implications for future fuels. The book covers the many important ways that fuels and engines interact and why and how fuels will need to change to meet the requirements of future engines, as well as the implications for fuels manufacture and specifications.

Download or read book High octane and Mid octane Detonation Performance of Leaded and Unleaded Fuels in Naturally Aspirated Piston Spark Ignition Aircraft Engines written by David H. Atwood and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The full-scale engine detonation performance of mid-and high-octane leaded and unleaded fuels were compared at the onset of light detonation in a naturally aspirated Lycoming IO540-K and a naturally aspirated Lycoming IO320-B engine. The fuels were stressed by performing both mixture lean-outs and by increasing the manifold pressure. The high-octane fuels (100 motor octane number (MON) and above) were tested in the IO540-K engine, and the mid-octane (91 to 95 MON fuels) were tested in the IO320B engine. For this testing, the MON was determined by ASTM International (ASTM) specification D 2700 and the supercharge rich rating was determined by ASTM D 909. A specially blended 100 low-lead (100 LL) aviation gasoline was tested. The 100 LL blend contained the maximum amount of allowable lead, while meeting the minimum MON of 100 and the minimum supercharge rich rating of 130 (described as 100/130 lead (L)), and met all current ASTM aviation gasoline specification D 910. The 100 LL blend performed significantly better than a 100 MON unleaded isooctane and a 100 MON and 161 supercharge rich rating unleaded amine-laden fuel in the IO540-K engine. The 100 LL did not perform as well as a 104 MON and 161 supercharge rich rating unleaded amine-laden fuel. The 100 LL fuel performed the same as a 100 MON and 100 supercharge rich rating leaded (100/100 L) fuel at the lower cruise power settings but performed much better at the higher power settings. This testing showed that the 100 LL significantly outperformed unleaded fuels of equivalent MON, even those with much higher supercharge rich ratings. The data also showed that the supercharge rich rating for leaded, hydrocarbon fuels is of greater significance at the higher power settings."--Technical report documentation page.
Download or read book Emission Control and Fuel Economy written by John H Johnson and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2005-06-27 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emission and fuel economy regulations and standards are compelling manufacturers to build ultra-low emission vehicles. As a result, engineers must develop spark-ignition engines with integrated emission control systems that use reformulated low-sulfur fuel. Emission Control and Fuel Economy for Port and Direct Injected SI Engines is a collection of SAE technical papers that covers the fundamentals of gasoline direct injection (DI) engine emissions and fuel economy, design variable effects on HC emissions, and advanced emission control technology and modeling approaches. All papers contained in this book were selected by an accomplished expert as the best in the field; reprinted in their entirety, they present a pathway to integrated emission control systems that meet 2004-2009 EPA standards for light-duty vehicles.

Download or read book Hcci and Cai Engines for the Automotive Industry written by H Zhao and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-08-02 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI)/controlled auto-ignition (CAI) has emerged as one of the most promising engine technologies with the potential to combine fuel efficiency and improved emissions performance, offering reduced nitrous oxides and particulate matter alongside efficiency comparable with modern diesel engines. Despite the considerable advantages, its operational range is rather limited and controlling the combustion (timing of ignition and rate of energy release) is still an area of on-going research. Commercial applications are, however, close to reality.HCCI and CAI engines for the automotive industry presents the state-of-the-art in research and development on an international basis, as a one-stop reference work. The background to the development of HCCI / CAI engine technology is described. Basic principles, the technologies and their potential applications, strengths and weaknesses, as well as likely future trends and sources of further information are reviewed in the areas of gasoline HCCI / CAI engines; diesel HCCI engines; HCCI / CAI engines with alternative fuels; and advanced modelling and experimental techniques. The book provides an invaluable source of information for scientific researchers, R&D engineers and managers in the automotive engineering industry worldwide.

Download or read book Thermodynamics written by Sanford Klein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book differs from other thermodynamics texts in its objective which is to provide engineers with the concepts, tools, and experience needed to solve practical real-world energy problems. The presentation integrates computer tools (e.g., EES) with thermodynamic concepts to allow engineering students and practising engineers to solve problems they would otherwise not be able to solve. The use of examples, solved and explained in detail, and supported with property diagrams that are drawn to scale, is ubiquitous in this textbook. The examples are not trivial, drill problems, but rather complex and timely real world problems that are of interest by themselves. As with the presentation, the solutions to these examples are complete and do not skip steps. Similarly the book includes numerous end of chapter problems, both typeset and online. Most of these problems are more detailed than those found in other thermodynamics textbooks. The supplements include complete solutions to all exercises, software downloads, and additional content on selected topics. These are available at the book web site www.cambridge.org/KleinandNellis.
