This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computer model is used to examine oxidation of hydrocarbon fuels in a rapid compression machine. For one of the fuels studied, n-heptane, significant fuel consumption is computed to take place during the compression stroke under some operating conditions, while for the less reactive n-pentane, no appreciable fuel consumption occurs until after the end of compression. The third fuel studied, a 60 PRF mixture of iso-octane and n-heptane, exhibits behavior that is intermediate between that of n-heptane and n-pentane. The model results indicate that computational studies of rapid compression machine ignition must consider fuel reaction during compression in order to achieve satisfactory agreement between computed and experimental results.

Download or read book Gasoline Surrogate Modeling of Gasoline Ignition in a Rapid Compression Machine and Comparison to Experiments written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of gasoline in homogeneous charge compression ignition engines (HCCI) and in duel fuel diesel - gasoline engines, has increased the need to understand its compression ignition processes under engine-like conditions. These processes need to be studied under well-controlled conditions in order to quantify low temperature heat release and to provide fundamental validation data for chemical kinetic models. With this in mind, an experimental campaign has been undertaken in a rapid compression machine (RCM) to measure the ignition of gasoline mixtures over a wide range of compression temperatures and for different compression pressures. By measuring the pressure history during ignition, information on the first stage ignition (when observed) and second stage ignition are captured along with information on the phasing of the heat release. Heat release processes during ignition are important because gasoline is known to exhibit low temperature heat release, intermediate temperature heat release and high temperature heat release. In an HCCI engine, the occurrence of low-temperature and intermediate-temperature heat release can be exploited to obtain higher load operation and has become a topic of much interest for engine researchers. Consequently, it is important to understand these processes under well-controlled conditions. A four-component gasoline surrogate model (including n-heptane, iso-octane, toluene, and 2-pentene) has been developed to simulate real gasolines. An appropriate surrogate mixture of the four components has been developed to simulate the specific gasoline used in the RCM experiments. This chemical kinetic surrogate model was then used to simulate the RCM experimental results for real gasoline. The experimental and modeling results covered ultra-lean to stoichiometric mixtures, compressed temperatures of 640-950 K, and compression pressures of 20 and 40 bar. The agreement between the experiments and model is encouraging in terms of first-stage (when observed) and second-stage ignition delay times and of heat release rate. The experimental and computational results are used to gain insight into low and intermediate temperature processes during gasoline ignition.

This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Downsizing of modern gasoline engines with direct injection is a key concept for achieving future CO22 emission targets. However, high power densities and optimum efficiency are limited by an uncontrolled autoignition of the unburned air-fuel mixture, the so-called spark knock phenomena. By a combination of three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (3D-CFD) and experiments incorporating optical diagnostics, this work presents an integral approach for predicting combustion and autoignition in Spark Ignition (SI) engines. The turbulent premixed combustion and flame front propagation in 3D-CFD is modeled with the G-equation combustion model, i.e. a laminar flamelet approach, in combination with the level set method. Autoignition in the unburned gas zone is modeled with the Shell model based on reduced chemical reactions using optimized reaction rate coefficients for different octane numbers (ON) as well as engine relevant pressures, temperatures and EGR rates. The basic functionality and sensitivities of improved sub-models, e.g. laminar flame speed, are proven in simplified test cases followed by adequate engine test cases. It is shown that the G-equation combustion model performs well even on unstructured grids with polyhedral cells and coarse grid resolution. The validation of the knock model with respect to temporal and spatial knock onset is done with fiber optical spark plug measurements and statistical evaluation of individual knocking cycles with a frequency based pressure analysis. The results show a good correlation with the Shell autoignition relevant species in the simulation. The combined model approach with G-equation and Shell autoignition in an active formulation enables a realistic representation of thin flame fronts and hence the thermodynamic conditions prior to knocking by taking into account the ignition chemistry in unburned gas, temperature fluctuations and self-acceleration effects due to pre-reactions. By the modeling approach and simulation methodology presented in this work the overall predictive capability for the virtual development of future knockproof SI engines is improved.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical fuels are a complex mixture of thousands of hydrocarbon compounds, making it challenging and difficult to study their combustion behavior. It's generally agreed that in order to study these complex practical fuels a much simpler approach of studying simple fuel surrogates containing limited number of components is more feasible. Ethanol and n-heptane have been studied as primary reference fuels in the surrogate study of gasoline and diesel over the past few decades. The objective of the following thesis has been to study the autoignition characteristics of ethanol and n-heptane and validate chemical kinetic mechanisms. The validation of a chemical kinetic mechanism provides a deeper insight into the combustion behavior of the fuels which can be further used to study advanced combustion concepts. Experiments have been conducted on the rapid compression machine (RCM) and validated against mechanisms from literature study. Rapid compression machines have been primarily used to study chemical kinetics at low to intermediate temperatures and high pressures for their accuracy and reproducibility. For the following study experiments span over a range of temperature (650-1000 K), pressure (10, 15 and 20 bar) and equivalence ratio ([phi]=0.3, 0.5, 1). Experimental data based on the adiabatic volumetric expansion approach have been modeled numerically using the Sandia SENKIN code in conjunction with CHEMKIN. Experiments have been primarily focused on validating kinetic mechanisms at low to intermediate temperatures and elevated pressures. Ignition delay time data from experiments have been deduced based on the pressure and time histories. A brute sensitivity and flux analysis has been performed to reveal the key sensitive reactions and the dominant reaction pathways followed under the present experimental conditions. Improvements have been suggested and discrepancies noted in order to develop a valid chemical kinetic mechanism. Under the present experimental conditions for the study of ethanol, reactions involving hydroperoxyl radicals, namely C2H5OH+HȮ2 and CH3CHO+ HȮ2 as well as the formation of H2O2 from HȮ2 radical and its subsequent decomposition have been found to be sensitive. Based on the following, improvements and developements have been suggested to increase the accuracy and predictability of the mechanisms studied. Ignition delay data from experiments have been compared against those obtained from the mechanism used in the study for n-heptane. Discrepancies have been found in the low temperature region, with the mechanism under predicting the first ignition delay. The causes for the discrepancy have been noted to be due to the NTC behaviour exhibited during the two stage ignition of n-heptane. At low temperatures the reaction pathway proceeded by chain branching mainly due to the ketohydroperoxide species reaction pathway has been analysed. As the temperature of the reaction increases the reaction pathway is dominated by the ȮOH species propagation resulting in the formation of conjugate olefins and [Beta]-decomposition products, a further investigation of which can help improve the predictability of the mechanism.
