Book Cycle By Cycle Variation in Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines

Download or read book Cycle By Cycle Variation in Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of this work was to extend the engine cycle simulation used by the Oxford Internal Combustion Engine Group to enable it to perform cycle-by-cycle modelling. A literature review concluded that the most appropriate metric for quantifying the cyclic variation was the coefficient of variation of the indicated mean effective pressure, and that for zero dimensional computer simulations, the most sensible parameter to perturb for cycle-by-cycle modelling was the burn rate. Modelling attempts using burn rate information alone resulted in an under-prediction of the cyclic variability exhibited by the engine. The work then examined a two-zone polytropic process model in an attempt to improve burn rate estimation. The model proved unreliable for burn rate calculations. The Rassweiler and Withrow method was then modified to include both the compression and expansion indices throughout the combustion period. The technique proved viable, but was not used because the slow burn up of the significant crevice mass in the experimental engine made calculation of an accurate expansion index doubtful. A further cause of the under-prediction in cyclic variability was postulated to be incomplete combustion, which is not detected by the burn rate model. A completeness of combustion parameter was derived from information contained in the Rassweiler and Withrow analysis. This parameter was used along with burn rate variations to perturb the cycle simulation and resulted in good cycle-by-cycle agreement between the experimental data and the modelled data in terms of mean effective pressure, maximum pressure, and the phasing of maximum pressure. Cyclic measurements of NO showed that the technique did not predict the cyclic variability in NO formation, and this was attributed to the sensitivity of NO formation to parameters that were not allowed to vary on a cyclic basis within the model (such as residuals).

Book Unsteady Combustion

Download or read book Unsteady Combustion written by F. Culick and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains selected papers prepared for the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Unsteady Combustion", which was held in Praia da Granja, Portugal, 6-17 September 1993. Approximately 100 delegates from 14 countries attended. The Institute was the most recent in a series beginning with "Instrumentation for Combustion and Flow in Engines", held in Vimeiro, Portugal 1987 and followed by "Combusting Flow Diagnostics" conducted in Montechoro, Portugal in 1990. Together, these three Institutes have covered a wide range of experimental and theoretical topics arising in the research and development of combustion systems with particular emphasis on gas-turbine combustors and internal combustion engines. The emphasis has evolved roughly from instrumentation and experimental techniques to the mixture of experiment, theory and computational work covered in the present volume. As the title of this book implies, the chief aim of this Institute was to provide a broad sampling of problems arising with time-dependent behaviour in combustors. In fact, of course, that intention encompasses practically all possibilities, for "steady" combustion hardly exists if one looks sufficiently closely at the processes in a combustion chamber. The point really is that, apart from the excellent paper by Bahr (Chapter 10) discussing the technology of combustors for aircraft gas turbines, little attention is directed to matters of steady performance. The volume is divided into three parts devoted to the subjects of combustion-induced oscillations; combustion in internal combustion engines; and experimental techniques and modelling.

Book Two Stroke Cycle Engine

Download or read book Two Stroke Cycle Engine written by JohnB. Heywood and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the two-stroke cycle internal combustion engine, used in compact, lightweight form in everything from motorcycles to chainsaws to outboard motors, and in large sizes for marine propulsion and power generation. It first provides an overview of the principles, characteristics, applications, and history of the two-stroke cycle engine, followed by descriptions and evaluations of various types of models that have been developed to predict aspects of two-stroke engine operation.

Book The Effects of Cycle to cycle Variations on Nitric Oxide NO Emissions for a Spark ignition Engine

Download or read book The Effects of Cycle to cycle Variations on Nitric Oxide NO Emissions for a Spark ignition Engine written by Milivoy Villarroel and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this study were to 1) determine the effects of cycle-to-cycle variations (ccv) on nitric oxide (NO) emissions, and 2) determine if the consideration of ccv affects the average NO emission as compared to the mean cycle NO emission. To carry out the proposed study, an engine simulation model was used. The simulation determines engine performance and NO emissions as functions of engine operating conditions, engine design parameters, and combustion parameters. An automotive, spark-ignition engine at part load and 1400 rpm was examined in this study. The engine cycle simulation employed three zones for the combustion process: (1) unburned gas, (2) adiabatic core region, and (3) boundary-layer gas. The use of the adiabatic core region has been shown to be especially necessary to capture the production of nitric oxides which are highly temperature dependent. Past research has shown that cyclic variations in combustion cause ccv of burn duration, ignition delay and equivalence ratio. Furthermore, literature has shown that variations of these three input parameters may be approximated by a normal frequency distribution. Using the mean and standard deviation, and a random number generator, input values were tabulated for the ignition delay, burn duration and equivalence ratio. These three input parameters were then used to simulate cyclic variations in the combustion process. Calculated results show that cyclic variations of the input parameters cause the cycle-by-cycle NO emissions to increase and decrease by as much as 59% from the mean cycle NO of 3,247 ppm. The average NO emission resulting from ccv was 4.9% less than the mean cycle NO emission. This result indicates that cyclic variations must be considered when calculating the overall NO emissions.

Book Assessment of Fuel Economy Technologies for Light Duty Vehicles

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.
