Download or read book The Autoignition Characteristics of Turbocharged Spark Ignition Engines with Exhaust Gas Recirculation written by Jacob Elijah McKenzie and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The societal demand for vehicles with high efficiency and low emissions has spurred considerable changes to the automotive internal combustion engine within the past decade. Reductions in the displacement volume and increases in maximum output per unit of displacement are among the characteristics adopted to meet the fuel economy targets of world governments. However, the extent to which these changes in engine configuration may be pursued in search of efficiency is limited by several fundamental phenomena. The intent of this research project is to investigate the modeling of one of these phenomena - the autoignition of an unburned portion of the air-fuel mixture - and a potential strategy intended to delay the occurrence of this frequently damaging type of combustion reaction. The autoignition abatement approach studied entails the recirculation of burned exhaust gasses which serve to dilute the air-fuel mixture and reduce maximum unburned gas temperatures Experimental testing was performed on two different types of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system - one which extracts exhaust gases from upstream of the catalytic converter and another which extracts gases from downstream - in order to determine if the changes in composition that occur across the catalyst affect the autoignition abatement characteristics of the recirculated exhaust. This testing indicated that differences between the alternative installations are dominated by changes in the flow dynamics of the exhaust system, with no definite changes attributable to compositional differences. An empirical method of predicting the occurrence of autoignition using experimental data was then developed based on an approach originally proposed by Livengood and Wu. Ignition delay correlations were developed that provide accurate autoignition prediction over a range of speeds, loads, air-fuel equivalence ratios and dilution rates. Additionally, a new statistical model for autoignition is proposed that captures the cycle-to-cycle variation in autoignition intensity and relates these variations to the thermodynamic state of the charge.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbocharging can provide a cost-effective means for increasing the power output and fuel economy of an internal combustion engine. It is commonly used on multi-cylinder engines, but not on commercial single-cylinder engines due to the phase mismatch between the exhaust stroke (when the turbocharger is powered) and the intake stroke (when the engine requires the compressed air). This work explores overcoming the phase mismatch problem by adding an air capacitor: a volume added in series with the intake manifold between the turbocharger compressor and the engine intake. The function of the air capacitor is to buffer the output from the turbocharger compressor and deliver pressurized air during the intake stroke. This research focuses on demonstrating the feasibility of using an air capacitor to enable turbocharging single cylinder internal combustion engines. An analytical model of the system was created from first principles, which showed that the air capacitor turbocharging method could increase power output by up to 40% without heat transfer and up to 70% with heat transfer elements included in the intake manifold (such as an intercooler). An initial, proof-of-concept experiment was created using a generator as a dynamometer. With an air capacitor volume seven times the engine capacity, this setup was able to produce 29% more power compared to the same engine naturally aspirated. A numerical model was developed in Ricardo Wave to predict the performance of turbocharged single cylinder engines with air capacitors under different conditions. An experimental engine with accompanying dynamometer was constructed to demonstrate the effects of manifold sizing on engine performance and to experimentally validate the model. The experiment showed that the model was able to predict power output with an accuracy of 8% of peak power, fuel consumption within 7% error, air mass flow rates with 10% error, and manifold pressures within 7% error. The model was then combined with a simulated annealing optimization scheme in Matlab in order to conceptualize designs for the geometry and timings of single-cylinder turbocharged engines intended for different commercial applications. The optimization showed that adding an air capacitor and turbocharger to a 0.44L engine, with slight modifications to the valve and injector timings, could increase power by 88% compared to natural aspiration. By also modifying the bore and stroke, the turbocharged engine with an air capacitor could reduce fuel consumption by 8% compared to a naturally aspirated engine with equivalent peak power output.

This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internal combustion engines still have a potential for substantial improvements, particularly with regard to fuel efficiency and environmental compatibility. These goals can be achieved with help of control systems. Modeling and Control of Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) addresses these issues by offering an introduction to cost-effective model-based control system design for ICE. The primary emphasis is put on the ICE and its auxiliary devices. Mathematical models for these processes are developed in the text and selected feedforward and feedback control problems are discussed. The appendix contains a summary of the most important controller analysis and design methods, and a case study that analyzes a simplified idle-speed control problem. The book is written for students interested in the design of classical and novel ICE control systems.
Download or read book Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium and Heavy Duty Vehicles written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles evaluates various technologies and methods that could improve the fuel economy of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, transit buses, and work trucks. The book also recommends approaches that federal agencies could use to regulate these vehicles' fuel consumption. Currently there are no fuel consumption standards for such vehicles, which account for about 26 percent of the transportation fuel used in the U.S. The miles-per-gallon measure used to regulate the fuel economy of passenger cars. is not appropriate for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, which are designed above all to carry loads efficiently. Instead, any regulation of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles should use a metric that reflects the efficiency with which a vehicle moves goods or passengers, such as gallons per ton-mile, a unit that reflects the amount of fuel a vehicle would use to carry a ton of goods one mile. This is called load-specific fuel consumption (LSFC). The book estimates the improvements that various technologies could achieve over the next decade in seven vehicle types. For example, using advanced diesel engines in tractor-trailers could lower their fuel consumption by up to 20 percent by 2020, and improved aerodynamics could yield an 11 percent reduction. Hybrid powertrains could lower the fuel consumption of vehicles that stop frequently, such as garbage trucks and transit buses, by as much 35 percent in the same time frame.

This book was released on 2015-09-28 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The light-duty vehicle fleet is expected to undergo substantial technological changes over the next several decades. New powertrain designs, alternative fuels, advanced materials and significant changes to the vehicle body are being driven by increasingly stringent fuel economy and greenhouse gas emission standards. By the end of the next decade, cars and light-duty trucks will be more fuel efficient, weigh less, emit less air pollutants, have more safety features, and will be more expensive to purchase relative to current vehicles. Though the gasoline-powered spark ignition engine will continue to be the dominant powertrain configuration even through 2030, such vehicles will be equipped with advanced technologies, materials, electronics and controls, and aerodynamics. And by 2030, the deployment of alternative methods to propel and fuel vehicles and alternative modes of transportation, including autonomous vehicles, will be well underway. What are these new technologies - how will they work, and will some technologies be more effective than others? Written to inform The United States Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards, this new report from the National Research Council is a technical evaluation of costs, benefits, and implementation issues of fuel reduction technologies for next-generation light-duty vehicles. Cost, Effectiveness, and Deployment of Fuel Economy Technologies for Light-Duty Vehicles estimates the cost, potential efficiency improvements, and barriers to commercial deployment of technologies that might be employed from 2020 to 2030. This report describes these promising technologies and makes recommendations for their inclusion on the list of technologies applicable for the 2017-2025 CAFE standards.
