▼ Gasoline
Direct Injection (GDI) engines represent a promising technology for facing the more and more stringent limits imposed by emission regulations. However, one of the drawbacks of GDI engines compared to PFI engines is the production of soot. One of the possible solutions to reduce the amount of soot emitted in the atmosphere, among the different existent strategies, is the Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF). Nowadays, the most common device in cars for monitoring the filter state and trigger the regeneration event is the differential pressure sensor. However, this provides an indirect measure of the soot state of the filter using a predictive model implemented in the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). A valid alternative, in laboratory environment, is represented by the Radio Frequency sensor. The objective of the study is to determine if a correlation exists between the output of the RF sensor and the amount of soot in the filter. The final outcome will be an analytical model that uses the average forward gain recorded from the Radio Frequency sensor and the exhaust gas temperature that can be used to estimate the amount of soot on the filter during both loading and regeneration phases. Moreover, with the output of the model during the regeneration event, it will be possible to understand when the soot oxidation starts and to distinguish the different soot reactivity, i.e. how it differently oxidizes during regeneration.

▼ Homogeneous charge compression-ignition (HCCI) engines have been considered to hold potential for next generation internal combustion engines with low emissions and low fuel-consumption. However, some technical hurdles, such as low combustion-efficiency at low load and excessive pressure-rise rate (PRR) at high load, significantly challenge its practical application.In this thesis, fundamental studies of fuel ignition response to thermal stratification were first conducted by using
direct numerical simulations coupled with a detailed chemistry mechanism. For a two-stage ignition fuel with negative temperature coefficient (NTC) behaviour, dimethyl ether, the auto-ignition regime was found to depend strongly on the initial temperature. Molecular diffusion was found to be negligible in comparison to chemical reaction when the initial temperature fell inside NTC regime; however, once the initial temperature was outside NTC regime, diffusion became relatively more significant. Diffusion was also observed to decrease with an increase of the length-scale. PRR was found to be reduced with thermal stratification, but this was also dependent on the mean temperature.Then, non-reacting multi-dimensional engine modelling was conducted to investigate the effects of fuel
direct injection on the resulting mixture distribution. It was found that as the start of
injection was retarded, more fuel was concentrated in the central areas of the cylinder, leading to a potential increase of combustion efficiency and potential reduction of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons, but a potential increase of excessive nitrogen oxides. Droplet-wall interaction and spray-to-spray interaction were observed to play essential roles in fuel distribution. Furthermore, the use of high
injection pressure can enhance the mixing, while the use of high swirl ratio and low
injection pressure showed negative effects on the global mixing.Finally, reacting engine simulations were carried on to study the effects of thermal stratification on a fully premixed HCCI engine fuelled by ethanol. These studies pointed out many challenges with attempts to model HCCI predictively, owing to strong sensitivities to initial charge temperature and pressure, wall temperatures, residual gas composition, initial turbulence intensity and models for its evolution and wall models. These sensitivities were analysed and used to construct an optimised model that agreed quite well with experimental pressure traces and associated quantities such as the PRR, the indicated mean effective pressure, and the thermal efficiency. Analysis of the optimised model results was used to determine that enhanced thermal stratification demonstrated a significant reduction of the PRR. The degree of the reduction was found to depend on the penetration of thermal stratification into the bulk-gas regions. In addition, turbulence played an important role in the control combustion phasing primarily by altering the distributions of thermal stratification.

▼ Growing consumer demand for convenient sources of high quality protein has led to a substantial global market for ready-to-drink, shelf-stable dairy protein beverages. These products have significant technical challenges associated with their manufacture due to the high processing temperatures required to render them microbiologically stable. Issues arise during thermal processing and storage as the high protein content leaves formulations susceptible to protein denaturation and aggregation, development of volatile compounds with associated off-flavours, increased viscosity, and sedimentation. This has driven dairy processors to seek out alternative formulation approaches and thermal processing techniques which can minimise the thermally-induced changes in the product, while still achieving the required shelf life. Relatively few studies have focused on a combined approach of investigating varied protein profiles in protein-enriched beverages with a range of thermal processing techniques. The objective of this research was to investigate the impact of composition and processing parameters on the physical behaviour of high-protein milk beverage systems across a range of thermal treatment systems. A new methodology for assessing the thermal stability, in terms of viscosity, for protein beverage formulations was also developed. Protein profile was shown to affect thermally-induced protein denaturation, with reductions in α-lactalbumin denaturation with an increasing casein proportion. Alterations in preheat treatment temperature significantly affected viscosity in protein systems upon concentration. The application of temperature-dependent viscosity models was demonstrated to be a useful, rapid tool in quantifying differences in product processing stability.
Direct heating technology was applied to ESL- and UHT-treated whey protein solutions with a high protein content (4, 6 and 8% protein (w/w)) resulting in reduced protein denaturation, viscosity and less extensive changes to the volatile profile compared to tubular heating. A pilot-scale supersonic steam
injection line was designed and integrated into an existing tubular heating plant with commissioning completed on skim milk. This novel heating system provided significantly greater reductions in protein denaturation than
direct steam infusion and tubular heating for protein-enriched dairy beverage systems. The thesis provides new insights into interactions between milk proteins during thermal processing which influence the physical and volatile profile stability of protein beverages. The outcomes of the work have applications in such areas as high heat treatment processing of heat-sensitive milk proteins, allowing for minimised whey protein denaturation, reduced viscosity through formulation manipulation, and use of novel thermal technologies.

▼ Ambient air quality has been a concern in the United States since the mid-1900’s, forcing legislations like the Air Pollution Control Act and Clean Air Act necessary to bring focus on air pollution and quality. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to update the requirements for more efficient vehicles and emissions sampling methods. Today the EPA has implemented regulations on modern spark ignited engines without any major focus on the type of
injection technologies being used. While particle matter (PM) is a requirement to measure for a vehicle certification, more research should focus on the particle number (PN) measurements that are required for vehicle certification in the European Union. This study explores the results of an experimental setup that measures particle data within multiple simultaneous dilution ratio sampling environments. In addition to different dilution ratios, two types of
injection strategies were examined and included gasoline
direct injected (GDI) and port fuel injected (PFI). The emphasis of the study was the comparison of real time particle number and mass concentration to highlight
injection technologies effect on particles. Furthermore, this research analyzed and compared the results in separate dilutions environments to evaluate sampling from a high dilution ratio and determine whether this was an acceptable sampling method. As engine technology, such as GDI, becomes the prominent method of
injection and PFI continues to be utilized, methods of soot measurement should be improved to measure near 0.01 mg/m
3. The PN measurements should be considered in addition to current PM regulation with PN concentrations measured above 1x10
7 cm

▼ Recent developments in internal combustion engine technology have shown that gasoline compression ignition (GCI) combustion modes provide a viable pathway to meet future emission regulations. Lower octane middle distillate gasoline like fuels have also been formulated for GCI combustion applications and have shown similar benefits of improved fuel conversion efficiency and a reduction in particulate matter and nitrogen oxide emissions. As these gasoline like GCI fuels have not been well studied, characterization of their rate of
injection (ROI) will be beneficial to supplement injector spray characterization measurements and the development of computational fluid dynamic simulations. A fuel collection method and data processing technique were defined to develop a measurement procedure for making rate of
injection measurements with a Bosch type rate of
injection (ROI) rig. The measurement procedure was developed to quantify the ROI for both heavy duty (HD) and light duty (LD) injector applications.
The HD studies included ROI measurements using an Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) and a research octane number (RON) 60 gasoline compression ignition (GCI) fuel. Rate of
injection measurements for the HD fuels were obtained with an eight-hole high pressure common rail diesel Cummins XPI injector and electronic
injection durations were successfully calibrated to provide a desired fuel quantity per
injection. Single-hole ROI measurements were also made with a Cummins XPI injector designed to provide one-eighth of the flow of the multi-hole injector. These single-hole ROI measurements were used to supplement injector spray characterization data in an optically accessible combustion vessel.
The LD studies characterized ROI measurements of a custom ten-hole Bosch HDEV5 gasoline
direct injection (GDI) injector. The LD fuels studied were a premium octane CARB LEV III 10% ethanol (E10) certification gasoline and a RON 70 GCI fuel. These LD studies were conducted to compare the RON 70 GCI fuel’s ROI characteristics to those of the premium octane CARB LEV III E10 certification gasoline. Average trends showed higher rates of
injection and total mass per
injection for the premium octane E10 cert gasoline and was attributed to the higher density of the fuel. Conclusions were also made that the higher viscosity of the E10 cert gasoline provided longer injector opening delays when compared to the RON 70 GCI fuel.

▼ This paper investigated the effects of swirl number and momentum ratio on the atomization and mixing performance of Swirl-Venturi Lean
Direct Injection technology. Mie scattering of liquid water, was used to identify the location of water droplets in a cross section of the injector spray. Experiments were performed with three air swirlers with vane angles of 45, 52 and 60 degrees. The swirl number varied from 0.58 to 1.0 and air-to-liquid ratios from 15.8 to 35.6. A transition was observed in the liquid spray distribution for the 52 degree case, which unexpectedly produced twice as much signal than the 45 and 60 degree cases. The main cause of this increased signal may be due to instabilities in the flow when transitioning from low to high swirl states. The results from investigation of swirl number it was found that the spray pattern for is sensitive to swirl intensity. Two flow states were observed for a lower and higher swirl flow as well as a transition state that occurred with the lower swirl state. This work may aid in the specific inquiry of physical mechanisms relating to the effect of flow states on spray distribution. It is found that improved atomization and mixing performance are a result of increase in swirl number.

Par conséquent, de nouveaux défis sont introduits en termes d'optimisation de la combustion, en raison d'une plus complexe phénomenologie tandis que les modéles système demande des paramètres de calibration supplémentaires.Cette thèse présente le développement et la validation d'un modèle zéro-dimensionnel (0D) de combustion en IDE pour application en simulation système. Le modèle proposé détaille la physique de l'atomisation, et évaporation des gouttes, de la préparation du mélange air/carburant, de la propagation de flamme dans un mélange non-homogène ainsi que l'intéraction entre ces phénomènes.La phase liquide est discretisés en paquets groupant des gouttes de la même taille.Un modèle d'atomisation empirique basé sur la vitesse d'injection, les propriétés du carburant et les conditions thermodynamiques fournit les diamètres initiaux. Un modèle Lagrangien détaillant une dynamique de trainée/inértie, échange thermique et convection forcée décrit la pénétration liquide et l'evaporation des paquets. La formation du mélange air/carburant est décrite avec une PDF qui discretise la charge en un mécanisme de classes intéragissant les unes avec les autres et avec les paquets de gouttes. La propagation de flamme prend en compte les effets de l'hétérogéneité du mélange sur la vitesse de flamme et la formation des polluants.Le modèle proposé a été implémenté dans la plateforme Simcenter Amesim, dédiée á la modélisation de systémes multi-physiques, et intégrée dans le modèle de combustion essence CFM1D, de la librairie IFP-Engine.Des approche de modélisation de l'evaporation de carburant, de la dynamique de spray et de la formation du mélange, inspirés de la literature sur les moteurs Diesel, ont été adaptés aux conditions IDE.Le modèle a initialement été validé sur des mesures et des simulations RANS 3D réalisées avec le code IFP-C3D, d'une bombe d'injection à volume constant.Un vortex de tumble, dans un premier temps, et des variations rapides du voulume de la chambre ensuite, ont été ajoutés aux expériments numériques afin d'évaluer la réponse du modèle à l'aérodynamique dans la chambre de combustion et à des conditions thermodynamiques variables, en termes d'évaporation, développement du spray et distribution de la richesse. Des simulations d'injections dans un moteur entraîné,dont les résultats ont été comparés avec des mesures et des calculs CDF,complètent la validation du modèle avec à la fois des conditions thermodynamiques variable et de l'aérodynamique.
Future constraints on pollutant emissions pushed car manufacturers towards gasoline direct injection (GDI) technologies to improve engine performances and reduce fuel consumption and emissions. New challenges are then introduced in terms of combustion optimization due to a more complex…

▼ The characteristics of gasoline sprayed directly into combustion chambers are of critical importance to engine out emissions and combustion system development. The optimization of the spray characteristics to match the in-cylinder flow field, chamber geometry, and spark location are vital tasks during the development of an engine combustion strategy. Furthermore, the presence of liquid fuel during combustion in Spark-Ignition (SI) engines causes increased hydrocarbon (HC) emissions [1]. Euro 6, LEVIII, and US Tier 3 emissions regulations reduce the allowable particulate mass significantly from the previous standards. LEVIII standards reduce the acceptable particulate emission to 1 mg/mile [2]. A good
Direct Injection Spark Ignited (DISI) strategy vaporizes the correct amount of fuel at the proper point in the engine cycle with the proper in-cylinder air flow for optimal power output with minimal emissions. The opening and closing phases of DISI injectors is crucial to this task as the spray produces larger droplets during both theses phases. This work focuses on the results from a novel method to investigate fuel behavior upon closing of the fuel injector. A Design of Experiments (DOE) was used to determine the effect of pressure, temperature, and pulse-width of the fuel spray after the closing event. Experiments determined that the primary source of controlling the droplet size and the mass post injector closing for a given injector was the temperature. It was found that the end of
injection behavior is a highly dynamic, complex event including, but not limited to, effects from the injector design, deposit concentration, and fuel type.

▼ The
direct-
injection of natural gas into the compression-ignition engines is attractive, due to its emission advantage and diesel-equivalent efficiency. The computational simulation of this next-generation heavy-duty engine can provide deep insights of the gas
injection and ignition characteristics and help understand the emission formation process, and hence, a KIVA-3v based three-dimensional computational model was developed and improved to represent the configuration of a glow plug assisted
direct-
injection natural gas engine. This thesis presents the important conclusions about the numerical studies of the natural gas ignition and emissions by using this engine computational model.
Preliminary simulations revealed that the shield for a glow plug, an ignition assist for natural gas in compression-ignition engines, can highly improve the natural gas ignition stability compared to an unshielded glow plug, and the design of the glow plug shield has great potential for the further improvement of the natural gas ignition. The different shield designs, characterized by the parameters such as shield opening shape, number and distribution, were evaluated by using the improved KIVA model. The simulated results clearly demonstrated the three key functions of a good shield design. A multi-opening shield, consisting of four small openings in a diamond shape, can achieve all three requirements and hence highly reduce the natural gas ignition delay and improve the ignition stability, compared to the original single-opening shield.
The proper emission models are critical for the numerical simulations of natural gas engine emissions. For the gaseous species, a kinetic package, CANTERA, is coupled to KIVA CFD code to simulate the formation of important emissions, such as C2H2 and NOx. However, the available detailed mechanisms, such as GRI-3.0, will over-predict the ignition delay at low temperature (

▼ This study aims to clarify the spray development of ethanol, gasoline and iso-octane fuel, delivered by a multi-hole injector and spark-ignition
direct-
injection (SIDI) fuelling system. The focus is on how fuel properties and
injection pressure impact temporal and spatial evolution of sprays at various ambient conditions. Two optical facilities were used: (1) a constant-flow spray chamber simulating cold-start conditions and (2) a single-cylinder SIDI engine running at normal, warmed-up operating conditions. In these optical facilities, Mie-scattering imaging is performed to measure penetrations of spray plumes at various
injection pressures of 4, 7, 11 and 15 MPa. Experiments were first performed in the spray chamber to measure the spray tip penetration and penetration rate of ethanol, gasoline and iso-octane. It is observed that at 4 MPa
injection pressure, the tip penetration length of ethanol sprays is shorter than that of gasoline sprays, likely due to lower
injection velocity and increased nozzle loss associated with higher density and increased viscosity of ethanol, respectively. This assertion is further supported by the longest penetration length of iso-octane that has the lowest density among tested fuels and similar viscosity to gasoline. At higher
injection pressure of 7 and 11 MPa, the penetration length difference between ethanol and gasoline sprays decreases and eventually ethanol sprays show a longer penetration length than that of gasoline sprays at the highest
injection pressure of 15 MPa. This reversed trend is possibly because the penetration regime is changed such that the tip penetration is limited by aerodynamic drag force applied to fuel droplets, instead of the
injection velocity or nozzle loss of the liquid jet. It is suggested that with increasing
injection pressure, the fuel jet atomisation and droplet breakup enhance and therefore the lower aerodynamic drag associated with higher droplet size of ethanol sprays than that of gasoline sprays leads to a longer penetration length. The same trends of spray penetrations of ethanol, gasoline, and iso-octane are observed in the warmed optical engine with overall higher tip penetration length than that in the cold spray chamber primarily due to decreased air density and increased fuel temperature. In the same warmed optical engine, the effect of
injection pressure on the structural transformation of flash-boiling sprays of gasoline and ethanol is investigated for two fuel
injection timings of 90 and 300 crank angle degrees after top dead centre, corresponding to low and high ambient pressure conditions, respectively. The macroscopic spray structure was quantified using spray tip penetrations, spray spreading angles and spray areas. From the measurements, it is found that fuel sprays injected at the earlier
injection timing, when the vapour pressure of the fuel is higher than the ambient pressure, show the convergence of the spray plumes towards the injector axis evidencing the flash-boiling phenomenon. By contrast, fuel injected at the later…

▼ Anthropogenic gas- and particle-phase emissions affect the climate by absorbing and scattering radiation, and have been linked to adverse health effects. Black carbon (BC), a by-product of incomplete combustion, is the most potent light-absorbing component of atmospheric aerosols, with a top-of-the atmosphere direct radiative forcing estimated to be only second to CO2. However, there is a large uncertainty associated with BC’s total direct and indirect radiative forcings due to uncertain source emissions and optical properties and complex interactions with clouds. In this dissertation we investigate the direct radiative impact of two of the most important sources of BC particles: biofuel combustion and vehicles. Together these sources contribute around 40% of the global atmospheric BC burden. Recently, both of these energy sources are undergoing rapid technology changes, and the climate impacts from the emissions of these newly adopted technologies remain uncertain. We also investigate the role of atmospheric processing on the optical properties and growth rates of particles. This dissertation first assesses the climate impacts of aerosol emissions of two rapidly emerging technologies: improved cookstoves and gasoline direct injection (GDI) vehicles. We performed extensive measurements of gas- and particle emissions and optical properties of emissions from both these sources. Our data suggests that improved rocket cookstoves have, on average, a factor of two lower particulate matter (PM) emissions compared to traditional cookstoves but only a 4% climate benefits associated with their emissions. In contrast, we estimated a 30% climate benefit from switching traditional cookstoves to gasifier ones. Of all the stoves tested, charcoal stoves had the lowest emissions and climate impacts. Our data suggests the widespread deployment of improved cookstoves to replace existing, inefficient, traditional cookstoves will likely result in health and climate co-benefits. Similarly, we estimated that the rapid adoption of GDI vehicles to replace existing port fuel injection (PFI) vehicles will likely result in reduced warming from emissions. This is due to the higher fuel economy of GDI engines; we measured an average CO2 reduction of 57 g/mi, from switching engine technologies. GDI engine emissions had higher PM emissions compared to PFI engines, similar to previous findings. In addition, our data suggests that newer GDI engines have a factor of two lower PM emissions compared to older GDI engines. These improvements in emissions may enable GDI-equipped vehicles to meet the new Federal Tier 3 PM standard of 3.0 mg/mi without gasoline particulate filters (GPF, which would reduce their fuel economy). To better constrain the large uncertainty of radiative forcing associated with cookstove emissions, this dissertation examines emissions and optical properties from several cookstove and fuel combinations. We performed extensive laboratory measurements of the optical properties of fresh cookstove emissions using the newly developed…

▼ The experimental work described in this thesis was
conducted to study the particulate emissions from different
automotive applications. The effect of fuel choice (gasoline vs.
liquefied petroleum gas, LPG) on particle emissions from passenger
vehicles was studied. It was shown LPG produces 5 times and 2 times
less particles than gasoline in terms of number and mass emission
factors, respectively. The effect of engine technology (2-stroke
vs. 4-stroke) was also evaluated on particulate emissions from two
wheelers. The particle emission factors from two wheelers were also
compared with the values for passenger vehicles. It was found that
two wheelers produce more particles than passenger vehicles on a
per kilometer basis and they should be regulated in terms of
particulate emissions as proposed for light duty vehicles. The
effects of fuel choice and exhaust aftertreatment were also studied
on diesel and CNG transit buses. It was shown that either CNG
conversion or diesel particulate filters can improve the particle
number emission factors relative to diesel buses. The feasibility
and the accuracy of using an effective density function to measure
the particle mass emission factor using particle size distributions
for GDI vehicles was also examined. It is recommended that the size
distribution effective density function method can be used with an
uncertainty of 20% but only for the non-volatile fraction of the
particles.

▼ The increasing industrialization and modernization
of the world led to a steep rise in the consumption and demand for
the petroleum-based fuels every year. The present known reserves,
supplying fuel today are not capable of withstanding the growth
rate of consumption. Hence, it is frightened that they are not
going to last long forever. The present investigation uses one such
oil called Turpentine (an essential oil obtained from various
species of pine tree) in a direct injection (DI) diesel engine as
an alternate fuel for diesel oil. The properties of turpentine
falls in between the properties of petrol and diesel and few of
them are also closer to that of diesel oil. Hence, the present
investigation uses three different fuel admission methods such as
bi-fuel, dual fuel and sole fuel methods for admitting large
fraction of turpentine in the existing diesel engine. The
investigation reveals that the bi-fuel method does not require any
form of engine modification. However, it replaces only 40% of
diesel fuel consumption and librates considerably higher NOx
emission than that of standard diesel operation. Dual fuel method
of turpentine admission replaces a maximum of 65% diesel fuel
consumption and produces considerably lower emissions than that of
diesel fuel operation and other methods. However, it requires
considerable engine modification. The sole fuel method of
turpentine admission offers a maximum and complete diesel
replacement than other investigation methods. However, this method
requires considerable engine modification and also emits higher
NOx. From the investigation of turpentine admission methods it is
found that the dual fuel method of turpentine admission stands
first and offers maximum diesel replacement with lower emissions.
Hence, this method is suggested as the best method for admitting
turpentine in the existing diesel engines and this method also
provides a large scope for future study and investigation. newline

▼ O óleo diesel combustível é utilizado em grande escala no país e no mundo. Por outro lado, a crescente conscientização ambiental acarreta em uma maior demanda por recursos energéticos renováveis. O pioneirismo no uso do etanol faz com que o Brasil também ostente condições de avançar rapidamente na consolidação do uso do biodiesel em maiores escalas, na substituição ou em mistura ao diesel de origem mineral em motores de Ciclo Diesel. Assim, o presente trabalho avaliou, por meio de ensaios em bancada dinamométrica, o desempenho de um trator agrícola equipado com motor de injeção direta sob a utilização de diferentes misturas de biodiesel metílico de soja. Também foi avaliada a influência da adição de aditivos para a melhoria de desempenho, bem como foram utilizados dois pontos de avanço de injeção, sendo um deles original e o outro adiantado. Os melhores resultados foram obtidos sob a utilização do combustível B10, para todos os parâmetros de desempenho avaliados (torque, potência e consumo específico de combustível). Para a variável torque essa proporção apresentou valores apenas 0,4% maiores que os apresentados pela proporção B5, sendo que, para a variável potência, os valores do combustível B10 foram superiores em apenas 0,2% em relação ao B5, tornando praticamente inexpressivas as diferenças entre tais combustíveis. Já o combustível B100 apresentou o menor desempenho em torque, potência e consumo específico. Em relação ao consumo específico, essa proporção apresentou os maiores valores, 10% superiores aos valores apresentados pelo combustível B10. Quanto ao uso de aditivos e o avanço no ponto inicial de injeção não foi identificada maior significância nos resultados obtidos. Para estas condições de ensaio, onde foram realizados testes em um trator modelo 1986, dotado de um motor com 3000 horas de uso, percebe-se que há a possibilidade de utilização de maiores teores de biodiesel adicionado ao diesel de origem mineral sem a necessidade de maiores modificações no motor. Todavia, é perfeitamente normal que ocorra relativa queda de desempenho sob o uso de maiores teores de biodiesel metílico de soja. Assim, deve-se considerar a possibilidade de utilização de maiores proporções de biodiesel adicionado ao diesel comercial, realizando-se uma análise da viabilidade econômica inerente ao uso desses biocombustíveis.
The diesel fuel is used widely in the country and the world. Moreover, growing environmental awareness leads to a larger demand for renewable energy resources. The pioneering in the use of ethanol makes Brazil also bears some conditions to move quickly to consolidate the use of the biodiesel in larger scales, in the replacement or as a blend with mineral diesel in diesel engines. Thus, this work evaluated by tests on a dynamometer bench, the performance of an agricultural tractor equipped with direct injection engine using different blends of soybeans methyl biodiesel. Also, it was analyzed the influence of additives to improve the performance, and it was used two positions of injection timing, one of them…

▼ The study of single-plume sprays into cross-flowing air is found extensively in literature, however, with the continued development of the Spark Ignition Direct Injection (SIDI) engine, the behaviour of multi-plume sprays in cross-flowing conditions is of interest.
In the present work, the injection of a multi-plume spray into a high-velocity cross-flow is investigated; an experimental apparatus capable of providing a cross-flow with core velocities higher than 200 m/s is developed; analysis techniques are developed to characterize the cross-flow and multi-plume spray independently; the multi-plume spray is characterized as it issues into the cross-flowing air.
The round air jet used for the cross-flow was designed using the concepts put forth for the design of wind tunnel contractions. The axial and radial velocities were measured using a Particle Image Velocimetry system from LaVision Inc. and the potential core length determined for the core velocities corresponding to Mach numbers of 0.35 and 0.58. It was determined that the potential core length increases with increasing Mach number and that increased compressibility, leads to reduced mixing within the core. Furthermore, velocity profiles of the air jet show that self-similarity is preserved within the shear layer of the initial region.
The multi-plume spray was also characterized in quiescent conditions for 10 and 15 MPa injection pressures. It was found that the penetration depth and spray width increased with increasing injection pressure, but that the spray angle decreased with increasing pressure. The increase in penetration depth is consistent with the findings presented in literature, while the decrease in spray angle with increasing pressure is contrary to literature.
Next, the multi-plume spray, injected at 10 and 15 MPa, is characterized as it issues into the cross-flowing air stream at Mach numbers equal to 0.35 and 0.58. The tail length and penetration are measured and it is found that for the first, the cross-flow velocity is the primary factor with higher cross-flow velocity resulting in a longer tail length, while for the latter, the injection pressure is the major factor, with higher injection pressures resulting in higher penetrations. That being said, the injection pressure does play a small role in the tail length, with the 15 MPa injection having a slightly longer tail length than the 10 MPa injection in the Mach number 0.58 cross-flow. This is attributed to the finer atomization, which is expected from the 15 MPa injection and which leads to quicker entrainment of fuel droplets into the cross-flow.
The spray axis was predicted for each set of conditions from 0.1 ms to 1.0 ms after Start of Fuel (SOF). It was found that before 0.3 ms, the spray retains its multi-plume nature, while after 0.3 ms it behaves like a single-plume spray. Once the spray has crossed this transition point, the spray axis is temporally independent and can be predicted by the logarithmic models, similar to those used for single-plume sprays in…

▼ The next generation of combustor technology will be required to meet the demands of a world more focused on greenhouse gases and global warming. Due to this new focus on emission control, combustors must produce less NO x , while operating in a higher pressure environment that is more prone to combustion instabilities.
This work focuses on the development of a lab and combustor that will be used for the next generation combustor development. The lab development includes layout and organization, facilities, measurement and instrumentation, automation of the testing process, and an imaging tool for diagnostics.
A Lean Direction
Injection (LDI) single element combustor has been designed, built, and tested. Results included chemiluminescence imaging and measurements of combustion instabilities. Initial results are promising for future controls and combustion development.
A three axis translation table has been developed to support diagnostic efforts. Initial performance measurements indicate the table will be capable of fast scanning of flames compared to other translation options. In addition to achieving the desired performance, the size of the table was kept compact without sacrificing travel, allowing more access to the burners, and more burners to be mounted onto the table.
One of the first projects will be the application of the Laser-induced Fluorescence Triple-integration Method (LIFTIME) method to the LDI to assist combustion controls development. After the experience gained with the charge coupled device (CCD) camera, we see potential to use this in parallel with the LIFTIME system to better map the flame. The image processing capabilities of the LabVIEW software have been briefly explored, and look promising as a method for automated flame geometry analysis to improve the flame mapping.
In addition to the application of LIFTIME to the LDI, the exploration of the combustion control using the variable injector position, and the variable impedance exit area will begin.
Due to the work presented in this thesis, a fully-functional combustion lab is available for current and future students, and more in-depth combustion research can now begin. In addition to providing resources for the students of our research group, this lab will continue to support Senior Design students as well as those in graduate level combustion courses.

▼ The effects of changing nozzle hole patterns and hole geometry in a direct injection natural gas optically accessible engine was investigated. Six nozzles were studied having a 1 hole, 3 hole, and 9 hole pattern; each having either elliptical or circular hole geometries. Combustion images were taken with a high speed camera and the nozzles were compared on the basis of their ignition delay time, rate of heat release, net heat release, fuel utilization, gross indicated thermal efficiency, and particulate emissions. The best performance in all categories was achieved by the 9 hole nozzles which was largely attributed to better fuel mixing as a result of its hole distribution. The elliptical hole geometry exhibited characteristics of improved mixing mainly through reduced ignition delay time and reduced elemental carbon emissions.

▼ The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) found that black carbons (BC) concentrations were significantly higher in summer than in winter, which could be attributed to the seasonal variations in fuel composition. This experimental study investigated the impact of fuel seasonal changes on particulate matter (PM) emissions using a Ford Focus wall-guided GDI engine. Fuels from five public gas stations having octane rating of 87 and 91 were analyzed and tested. This study demonstrated that summer fuels contained higher aromatics than winter fuels which led to higher PM emissions and BC concentrations during steady state and transient state conditions. Moreover, the removal of ethanol content resulted in lower PM emissions and BC concentrations during steady state conditions. This study suggested that an increase in aromatics in summer fuels could be root cause for higher BC concentrations, however, similar study should be performed in other engines to support this conclusion.

▼ Ultrafine particulate matter (PM) emissions from gasoline direct injection engines are a concern due to their associated health effects. This experimental study investigated sources of PM emissions variability observed in previous work, along with the effect of ethanol content in gasoline on PM emissions. Engine operating parameters and test conditions were studied and controlled, but could not account for the level of variability observed. FTIR measurements of gas phase hydrocarbon emissions provided evidence that fuel composition changes were responsible for this variability. Exhaust emissions of toluene and isobutylene were interpreted as markers of gasoline aromatic content and gasoline volatility, respectively. Tests with gasoline containing added toluene (10%) supported this hypothesis and showed that the PM emissions variability can be attributed to changes in the composition of the pump gasoline. Tests with gasoline containing added ethanol (10% and 30%) increased PM emissions at steady-state operation and decreased emissions during engine start-up.

▼ As the legislation on vehicle emissions is becoming more and more stringent, increasing attention has been paid to the fine particles emitted by diesel and gasoline vehicles. The high number emission of fine particles has been shown to have a large impact on the atmospheric environment and human health. Researchers have shown that gasoline engines, especially Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines, tend to emit large amounts of small size particles compared to Port Fuel Injection (PFI) gasoline engines and diesel engines fitted with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs). As a result, the particle number emissions of GDI engines will be restricted by the EU6 legislation. The particulate emission level of GDI engines means that they would face some challenges in meeting the EU6 requirement. This thesis undertakes research in the following area. Firstly, the filtration efficiencies of glass fibre filters were quantified using a Cambustion Differential Mobility Spectrometer 500 (DMS500) to see if all of the particles from the sampled gas can be collected by the filters. Secondly, various valve timings and different injection modes such as double injection with a second injection after compression, single early injection and split early injection were implemented to measure the Particulate Matter (PM) emissions and combustion characteristics of a GDI engine under warm-up operating conditions. Thirdly, the techniques for removing volatile particles were investigated using a catalytic Volatile Particle Remover (VPR) and an Evaporation Tube (ET) with hot air dilution under various test conditions. The results show that for the glass fibre filters tested here, the transmission efficiencies of the particles are very low, indicating that PM sampling using fibre filters is an effective method of studying the particulate emissions from the engine. Particle number emissions using double injection with injection after compression were much higher than those with single injection during the intake stroke. Under 1200 rpm, 110 Nm cold engine operation, no reduction effect on PM emissions was shown by using split intake injection to further facilitate homogeneous mixture formation compared with single intake injection. Valve timings showed moderate effects on particulate emissions. Properly adjusted timing for exhaust valve closure led to reduced particulate emissions by a factor of about 2 and the combustion characteristics were not adversely affected much. The VPR temperature and exhaust residence time did not show much effect on the catalytic VPR performance once the mass flow rate of exhaust was above 0.09 g/s. Generally, the transmission efficiencies of the VPR follow the trends of the scaled PMP counting efficiency specification. Hot air dilution is effective in reducing the small size particles. At 23 nm, the transmission efficiencies are within the error range of the PMP specification. The catalytic VPR and the Evaporation Tube were all found to be effective in reducing the particle number of small size (nucleation mode)…

▼ Prediction of emissions from combustion systems is a complex problem involving the coupling between the flow field and chemistry. CFD analysis is the most commonly employed approach. However, it has the drawback that a very high computational cost prevents the use of detailed chemistry models. This master thesis, which focuses on NOx emissions, uses a more unconventional method of emissions prediction: Chemical Reactor Network (CRN). The advantage of this method is that, as it does not use fine discretisation, closure models nor fluid dynamics equations, it allows the implementation of detailed chemistry mechanisms. A CRN is developed first for a single-element Lean Direct Injection (LDI) combustor and then the CRN is adapted for a Multi-Point LDI (MPLDI) combustor. CFD and experimental results are used to set up the CRN. In the base case scenario, in which kerosene is the fuel choice, the NOx emissions predicted are very close to experimental measurements. This is particularly meaningful given the high uncertainties of modelling this highly complex turbulent combustion process. The developed CRN is also used to predict NOx emissions for the same combustor when the fuel choice is varied. Namely, the alternative fuels considered are kerosene enriched with hydrogen, methane and methane enriched with hydrogen. In comparison to kerosene, higher Lower Heating Values (LHVs) of these fuels lead to lower combustor temperatures for the same power input. Consequently, the thermal NOx pathway is weakened and the NOx mass flow generated is reduced. Nevertheless, these fuels with a higher LHV come with an increased operational risk that must be overcome before their implementation in aviation becomes possible.

▼ [EN] The development and optimization of new combustion modes is nowadays an important research field, to reduce the pollutant emissions of the reciprocating internal combustion engines. Their development requires the use of a wide variety of experimental and theoretical tools, which make it possible to know and understand their fundamentals. In this context the main objective of this Thesis is framed: the development and optimization of measuring and visualization techniques, to reach the level of accuracy and detail required for current and future studies of that kind. The work has been based on the characterization of the diesel diffusion combustion to be able to focus the study on the methodological part, thanks to the extensive knowledge available on this combustion mode.
The work has been divided in two main blocks. The first one is focused on the characterization of evaporation and air-fuel mixture formation processes. For this purpose, a new technique has been developed and applied, based on the light absorption by the fuel molecules (UV-VIS LAS), which allows measuring the vapour fuel local concentration within a diesel spray. It has been optimized to be applied under operating conditions similar to those found in a compression ignition engine with fuels whose optical properties are not optimal, but which are interesting for research due to its simplicity. Moreover, a new methodology has been developed for measuring the absorption coefficient of the fuels, under similar operating conditions (i.e. pressure and temperature) than those found within the combustion chamber of a compression ignition engine. Results have been analysed in detail, to be able to define the limitations and reliability of the methodology proposed.
The second block corresponds to the characterization of the combustion process and the soot formation. For this purpose, a complex optical set-up has been developed which made it possible to simultaneously apply the three most used techniques that can be found in literature for soot measuring within a diesel flame: Laser Extinction Method, 2-Colour Pyrometry and Laser-Induced Incandescence. Results obtained by means of the three techniques have been compared in detail, not only to identify the main advantages and drawbacks of each technique, but also their reliability under different operating conditions.; [ES] El desarrollo y optimización de nuevos modos de combustión constituye actualmente un campo importante de investigación, para reducir la emisión de contaminantes en motores de combustión interna alternativos.

En este contexto se enmarca el objetivo principal de esta Tesis: la mejora y el desarrollo de técnicas de visualización y medida, para alcanzar el nivel de detalle y la precisión requeridos para estudios actuales y futuros de esta índole.

▼ The primary objective of this thesis is to analyze the spray characteristics and behaviour of dimethyl ether (DME) in a high-pressure
direct injection application. To achieve these results, two optically-accessible constant-volume chambers (CVC) will be used to observe the fuel spray development. An injector is instrumented inside the CVC and the injections are recorded with a high-speed camera. Various
injection and background parameters are manipulated to study the effect of each parameter on the fuel spray characteristics and spray behaviour. Two types of experiments are used to study fuel spray, a quantitative study and an observational study. The first uses a
direct imaging setup to measure the spray characteristics, e.g. spray penetration length and cone angle. The latter adopts a shadowgraph imaging technique to enhance the visual representations of vaporization around the fuel spray. In the first section of results, only the spray characteristics and vaporization behaviour of DME fuel will be presented and detailed. These will include results from both experiment types, the quantitative study and the observational study. In the second section of results, the corresponding sprays of diesel and n-butanol fuel are analyzed and compared to that of DME fuel. For a thorough comparison of the tested fuels, these experiments are subjected to the same testing parameters as used for DME fuel.

▼ Increasing concerns over the condition of our environment and its long term health have led to the development of greener combustion techniques for use in turbomachinery applications. Lean
Direct Injection is an active area of research for how fuel is introduced and burned in the combustor section of a jet engine or land based liquid fuel turbine. Overall lean combustion results in lower NOx emmisions while
direct injection insures shorter combustor lengths. Lean
Direct Injection and other lean burning combustor designs are susceptible to thermoacoustic instabilities. The SARA or Synchronously Actuated Response Atomizer is a liquid fuel atomizer and supply system designed to allow for the active control of droplet size, cone angle, and mass flow rate. These three parameters have been shown to be important in controlling combustion quality and heat release. This research investigates the capabilities of the SARA design in a series of non-reacting tests. Static and Dynamic tests were performed on the SARA nozzle with a maximum actuation of 400 Hz. Also, a novel use of hot-film anemometry was developed to measure the dynamic flow rate fluctuations.

▼ Flame propagation and flow field analyses have been performed in an optical spark-ignition
direct-
injection (SIDI) engine to improve the understanding of the effects of fuel-
injection events on bulk in-cylinder flow, turbulence intensity, burn rate, and indicated output. Initially, an investigation into the benefits of a double
injection strategy over a single
injection strategy was conducted, where it was found that a double
injection strategy leads to significantly higher indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) and total heat release, which is consistent with an increase in flame propagation speed. To further investigate the potential of double
injection strategies, a study on the effect of
injection timing was completed. It was found that the best performing strategy consisted of one
injection relatively early in the intake stroke and one
injection towards the middle of the compression stroke, likely due to the combination of both ample mixture formation time and a high level of spray induced turbulence. A high-speed particle image velocimetry (HSPIV) imaging system was developed to quantify large-scale flow structures and turbulence intensity, in order to aid the interpretation of the fuel-
injection timing variation results. HSPIV images were first acquired on both a vertical (tumble) plane and a horizontal (swirl) plane during motored operation (i.e. no fuel
injection or spark). The flow was decomposed into mean and fluctuating components via three different methods - ensemble averaging, spatial filtering, and temporal filtering. Relationships between spatial and temporal filtering were investigated, resulting in the creation of a spatial filter which utilises a mean flow speed scaled cut-off length - tuned in order to match the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) profile of a 300 Hz temporal filter. The spatial filtering techniques were applied to five selected fuel-injected operating conditions, ranging from two early injections to two late injections. The bulk flow was found to be extremely sensitive to relatively small changes in
injection timing, although an expected trend of increasing turbulence intensity with retarded
injection timing was clearly observed. Relationships between TKE and burn rate were present, but not as obvious as anticipated, as total kinetic energy and cycle-to-cycle variation in large-scale flow structures were also found to play a significant role.
