This book was released on 2012 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dual fuel pilot ignited natural gas engines are identified as an efficient and viable alternative to conventional diesel engines. This paper examines cyclic combustion fluctuations in conventional dual fuel and in dual fuel partially premixed low temperature combustion (LTC). Conventional dual fueling with 95% (energy basis) natural gas (NG) substitution reduces NOx emissions by almost 90%t relative to straight diesel operation; however, this is accompanied by 98% increase in HC emissions, 10 percentage points reduction in fuel conversion efficiency (FCE) and 12 percentage points increase in COVimep. Dual fuel LTC is achieved by injection of a small amount of diesel fuel (2-3 percent on an energy basis) to ignite a premixed natural gas−air mixture to attain very low NOx emissions (less than 0.2 g/kWh). Cyclic variations in both combustion modes were analyzed by observing the cyclic fluctuations in start of combustion (SOC), peak cylinder pressures (Pmax), combustion phasing (Ca50), and the separation between the diesel injection event and Ca50 (termed "relative combustion phasing" ). For conventional dual fueling, as % NG increases, Pmax decreases, SOC and Ca50 are delayed, and cyclic variations increase. For dual fuel LTC, as diesel injection timing is advanced from 20° to 60° BTDC, the relative combustion phasing is identified as an important combustion parameter along with SoC, Pmax, and CaPmax. For both combustion modes, cyclic variations were characterized by alternating slow and fast burn cycles, especially at high %NG and advanced injection timings. Finally, heat release return maps were analyzed to demonstrate thermal management strategies as an effective tool to mitigate cyclic combustion variations, especially in dual fuel LTC.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "High fuel efficiency has become an extremely desirable trait for internal combustion engines. This motivation has driven extensive research on methods to improve fuel efficiency on engines of various sizes. Many of these methods involve changes to the properties of the combustion process. One way to induce these property changes is through varying the phasing of combustion. Combustion phasing can be defined as the time in the engine cycle, specifically the compression and expansion strokes, where combustion occurs. A change in combustion phasing causes a change in combustion duration. The duration of combustion impacts how the energy and work potential of the energy (availability) from the fuel are utilized. Analysis techniques based on the first and second law of thermodynamics have been developed to determine the energy and availability distributions. These distributions are utilized to visualize and quantify any improvements made to engine efficiency as combustion phasing is altered. The test engine utilized is a spark ignition (SI) engine meaning that the combustion phasing variations are completed by varying the ignition timing. In light of the test platform being a two-cylinder, industrial-use engine, this thesis focuses on determining the impact of combustion phasing on energy and availability distributions in an air-cooled, rich running utility engine subject to tight manufacturing cost constraints"--Abstract, leaf iii

Download or read book Characterization and Control of Cyclic Variability in a Gasoline natural Gas Dual injection Spark Ignition Engine written by Daniel A. Stang and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reducing the cyclic variability of a gasoline/natural gas dual injection spark ignition engine using minimum variance control is the subject of this thesis. Cylinder pressure is used to calculate four combustion metrics, the standard deviation of which is used as an indicator of cyclic variability. Spark timing, fuel type, and engine speed are varied to characterize the cyclic variability of the engine. Location of peak pressure is found to be the best combustion metric for use as feedback in a closed loop controller. Using the location of peak pressure as an engine output and spark timing as an engine input, system identification is used to develop input-output models. Using the model, a minimum variance controller is developed which is able to reduce the cyclic variability by 1.4\% by changing the spark timing in response to the measured location of peak pressure. A detuned minimum variance tracking controller is designed to produce maximum power in changing operating conditions by using 16 crank angle degrees after top dead center as the location of peak pressure set-point. The detuned minimum variance controller is able to track and maintain the set-point under constant operating conditions and as disturbances such as, changing fuel type, addition of internal exhaust gas recirculation, and changing coolant temperature, are introduced into the system. The detuned minimum variance controller rejects these disturbances when experimentally tested and maintains optimal engine operating conditions.
