▼ Low temperature
combustion (LTC) is an appealing new method of
combustion that promises low nitric oxides and soot emissions while maintaining or improving on engine performance. The three main points of this study were to develop and validate an engine model in GT-Power capable of implementing LTC, to study parametrically exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and injection timing effects on performance and emissions, and to investigate methods to decrease pressure rise rates during LTC operation. The model was validated at nine different operating points, 3 speeds and 3 loads, while the parametric studies were conducted on 6 of the 9 operating points, 3 speeds and 2 loads. The model consists of sections that include: cylinders, ports, intake and exhaust manifolds, EGR system, and turbocharger. For this model, GT-Power calculates the
combustion using a multi-zone, quasi-dimensional model and a knock-induced
combustion model. The main difference between them is that the multi-zone model is directly injected while the knock model is port injected. A variety of sub models calculate the fluid flow and heat transfer.
A parametric study varying the EGR and the injection timing to determine the optimal combination was conducted using the multi-zone model while a parametric study that just varies EGR is carried out using the knock model. The first parametric study showed that the optimal EGR and injection timing combination for the low loads occurred at high levels of EGR (60 percent) and advanced injection timings (30 to 40 crank angle degrees before top dead center). The optimal EGR and injection timing combination for the high loads occurred at low levels of EGR (30 percent to 40 percent) and retarded injection timings (7.5 to 5 crank angle degrees before top dead center). The knock model determined that the ideal EGR ratio for homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) operation varied from 30 percent to 45 percent, depending on the operating condition. Three methods were investigated as possible ways to reduce pressure rise rates during LTC operation. The only feasible method was the multiple injection strategy which provided dramatically reduced pressure rise rates across all EGR levels and injection timings.

▼ An alarming number of compression ignition (CI)
engines in the transport, mining and heavy engineering environments
have been failing due to
combustion irregularities within their
combustion chambers. It has been found that
diesel fuels containing
contaminants or
diesel fuels with poor lubricity characteristics
lead to stickiness of
diesel injector needles, which badly affects
injector spray patterns resulting in the phenomenon of “cold
combustion”. This study has been undertaken to develop a technique
for detecting and preventing the damage resulting from this
deviation in the
combustion of a
diesel engine. The technique has
been formulated with a view to being as non intrusive as possible,
so as not to require major modification of an existing test engine
to accommodate the technique. The practice of monitoring individual
cylinder exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) proved to be an effective
way of determining whether potentially destructive
combustion
abnormalities were taking place within the
diesel engine. By
recording these temperatures at certain stages during the engine’s
operation, taking their average, and comparing each one to this
average it is also possible to isolate the location of the
combustion abnormality. This method proved to be most effective at
full loads and maximum fuel delivery where
combustion temperatures
are highest and the effects of poor
combustion are most noticeable
and potentially damaging. The second goal was to develop a small,
portable electronic device that makes use of the monitoring
technique developed and provides a visual and audible alarm to
notify a vehicle operator or technician of a
combustion fault
within a
diesel engine. A
Combustion Monitoring System (CMS)
prototype was developed and tested on a small naturally aspirated
engine at the University of Pretoria’s engine testing facilities.
The prototype met its primary goal of detecting simulated
combustion abnormalities under a variety of test conditions. It is
envisaged that the monitoring techniques applied in developing the
CMS unit may eventually be incorporated into the powerful
processing abilities of the modern
diesel Engine Control Unit
(ECU). In its current form the CMS prototype is a useful tool in
sensing
combustion related malfunctions within a
diesel engine and
preventing damage from occurring.

▼ Now a days for any country energy resourses in
particular petroleum products have become important for its
development. The products derived from crude oil continued to be
the major and critical source of energy for transportation sector
all over the world. For economic development of any country both
industries and transportation sectors are very important for a
growth of country like India. It is strongly depends on
transportation and power generation. It is learnt that the fossil
fuel are depleting at faster rate than expected. Hence the
increasing demand of fossil fuel leads to exhaust of petroleum
products in near future. In this connection the rising price of
petroleum products and environmental concern lead to intensive
studies on the use of alternative fuels.

▼ The function of an engine is to produce mechanical

to deal effectively with a major newlinediesel engine design
problem, achieving sufficiently rapid fuel-air mixing newlinerates
to complete the fuel-burning process in the time available. A wide
newlinevariety of inlet port geometries, cylinder head and piston

this over the size of diesel engine. newlineCombustion chamber

because of their ability to further increase in diesel engine

▼ At present diesel engines are performing well and
meeting existing emission norms. But to meet future emission norms
alternative combustion concept may be useful. Homogeneous Charge
Compression Ignition (HCCI) has proven to be capable of reducing
both Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Smoke emissions significantly. In
HCCI engine, a homogeneous air fuel mixture is formed in the
combustion chamber and the mixture is compression ignited. Due to
the fact that the mixture is homogeneous, there is no smoke
producing fuel-rich regions. The NOx emissions are also low because
HCCI engine runs with lean homogeneous mixture and at low
in-cylinder temperature. The objective of present work is for
adopting HCCI combustion in a diesel engine by addressing the
problems associated with HCCI engine like (i) rapid pressure rise
due to instantaneous combustion (ii) difficulty to operate at
higher loads due to knocking (iii) increase of HC and CO emissions
(iv) decrease in brake thermal efficiency. At high loads, rate of
pressure rise is rapid in the combustion chamber. Because of this,
it is inevitable to sacrifice to run the engine at high loads with
HCCI concept. Also CO and HC emissions for HCCI engine were
reported to be increased, which requires a remedy. The another
important problem is loss in brake thermal efficiency with HCCI
combustion. Hence, there is a need to focus attention to overcome
these problems in order to make HCCI engine practicable. Keeping
these things in mind, experimental investigation is planned in the
present research work to find remedies to the above problems. For
this purpose, a computerized single cylinder, four stroke, water
cooled, variable compression ratio, diesel engine is selected with
specifications shown in Appendix-I. The performance, emission and
combustion parameters of base engine diesel are recorded at
standard operating conditions such as compression ratio 16.5,
injection timing 230 bTDC and injection pressure 200 bar and these
readings are taken as base data.

▼ Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is now a ubiquitous computational tool for engine design and analysis. It is often necessary to provide well-known initial cycle conditions to commence the CFD computations. Such initial conditions can be provided by experimental data. To create an opportunity to computationally study engine conditions where experimental data are not available, a zero-dimensional quasi-predictive thermodynamic simulation is developed that uses a well-established spray model to predict rate of heat release and calculated burned gas composition and temperature to predict nitric oxide (NO) concentration. This thesis details the thermodynamic simulation for
diesel engine operating conditions. The goal is to produce an algorithm that is capable of predicting NO emissions as well as performance characteristics such as mean effective pressure (MEP). The simulation uses general conservation of mass and energy approaches to model intake, compression, and exhaust. Rate of heat release prediction is based on an existing spray model to predict how fuel concentrations within the spray jet change with penetration. Rate of heat release provides predicted cylinder pressure, which is then validated against experimental pressure data under known operating conditions. An equilibrium mechanism is used to determine burned gas composition which, along with burned gas temperature, can be used for prediction of NO in the cylinder. NO is predicted using the extended Zeldovich mechanism. This mechanism is highly sensitive to temperature, and it is therefore important to accurately predict cylinder gas temperature to obtain correct NO values. iii The simulation focuses on single fuel injection events, but some multiple injection events are investigated, and improvements to the model to better handle these cases are suggested.

▼ Despite their important advantages in terms of fuel consumption in comparison with gasoline engines, for a long time the characteristic impulsive
combustion noise has been one of the main causes why customers are reluctant to buy cars equipped with
Diesel engines. This is the main reason for the efforts devoted by car manufacturers to mitigate
Diesel engine noise while improving performance and driveability. In spite of all technical improvements, vehicles equipped with High Speed Direct Injection (HSDI) engines still offer a comfort level inferior to gasoline engine vehicles.
Noise represents one of the most important aspects in the definition of comfort, and especially
combustion noise plays an essential role in the acoustic of a vehicle as, in the case of DI engines, it represents one of the most important noise sources. Thus, the great potential of
diesel engines for environment preservation – due to their lower CO2 emissions – could be missed. This situation worsens with the current design trends (engine downsizing) and the emerging new
diesel combustion concepts (Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition-HCCI, Premixed Charge Compression Ignition-PCCI, etc.) conceived to further reduce NOx and particulate matter to comply with forthcoming legislation, which are intrinsically noisy.
Therefore,
combustion noise must be considered as an additional essential factor in engine development, together with performance, emissions and driveability. Thus, suitable evaluation procedures that can be integrated into the global engine development process in a timely and cost-effective manner are imperative, both for noise level and sound quality. In this thesis, a procedure, based on the consideration of suitable indicators extracted from in-cylinder pressure, is proposed and validated. Such indicators are obtained from an innovative procedure to decompose in-cylinder pressure signal, so that features associated with
combustion and with resonance excitation may be properly identified.

▼ Les particules de suies issues de moteur Diesel constituent un enjeu de santé publique et sont soumises à des réglementations de plus en plus strictes. Les constructeurs automobiles ont donc besoin de modèles capables de prédire l’évolution en nombre et en taille de ces particules de suies. Dans ce cadre, un modèle de suies basé sur une représentation sectionnelle de la phase solide est proposé dans cette thèse. Le choix de ce type d’approche est d’abord justifié par l’étude de l’état de l’art de la modélisation des suies. Le modèle de suies proposé est ensuite décrit. A chaque instant et en chaque point du maillage, les particules de suies sont réparties en sections selon leur taille et l’évolution de chaque section est gouvernée par : • une équation de transport;• des termes sources modélisant l’interaction avec la phase gazeuse (nucléation, condensation, croissance de surface et oxydation des suies);• des termes sources collisionnels permettant de représenter les interactions entre suies (condensation et coagulation). Ce modèle de suies nécessite donc la connaissance des concentrations locales et instantanées des précurseurs de suies et des espèces consommées par les schémas de réactions de surface des suies. Les schémas fournissant ces informations pour des conditions thermodynamiques rencontrées dans des moteurs Diesel comportant des centaines d’espèces et des milliers de réactions, ils ne peuvent être utilisés directement dans des calculs de CFD. Pour pallier cela, l’approche de tabulation de la chimie VPTHC (Variable Pressure Tabulated Homogeneous Chemistry) a été proposée. Cette approche est basée sur l’approche ADF (Approximated Diffusion Flame) qui a été simplifiée pour permettre son emploi couplé au modèle de suies sectionnel. Dans un premier temps, la capacité du modèle tabulé à reproduire la cinétique chimique a été validée par comparaison des résultats obtenus avec ceux de réacteurs homogènes avec loi de piston équivalents. Finalement, le modèle VPTHC, couplé au modèle de suies sectionnel, a été validé sur une base d’essais moteur dédiée avec des mesures de distribution en taille de suies à l’échappement. Cette base comporte des variations de durée d’injection, de pression d’injection et de taux d’EGR à la fois pour un carburant Diesel commercial et pour le carburant modèle utilisé dans les calculs. Les prédictions des débits horaires de suies et des distributions à l’échappement obtenues sont en bon accord avec les mesures.Ensuite, les résultats du modèle ont été comparés avec les mesures plus académiques et détaillées du Spray A de l’Engine Combustion Network, un spray à haute pression et température. Cette seconde validation expérimentale a permis l’étude du comportement du modèle dans des régimes transitoires.

▼ Como consecuencia de las exigentes legislaciones medioambientales actualmente en vigor, como las Euro Emission Standards en Europa, los investigadores e ingenieros se ven forzados a "re-desarrollar" el proceso de combustión diésel para hacerlo menos contaminante. Uno de los principales contaminantes y más dañinos para la salud son los óxidos de nitrógeno (NOx) que están principalmente compuestos por: monóxido de nitrógeno (NO), dióxido de nitrógeno (NO2) y trióxido de dinitrógeno (N2O3).
Centrándose en los NOx generados en una combustión diésel, una de las técnicas más populares para mitigar su formación es mediante la dilución de la corriente oxidante con productos de la combustión, previamente generados. De este modo, al reducir la reactividad de la corriente oxidante se consigue una disminución considerable de la temperatura de combustión y por extensión de los NOx. Sin embargo, dicha técnica causa nuevas interacciones físico-químicas entre los hidrocarburos y los NOx así como principalmente un notable cambio en la estructura del chorro diésel. Es por ello necesario considerar las diferentes vías de formación de éstos para poder predecir su generación.
El hecho de considerar las diferentes vías de formación implica un incremento considerable de los recursos computacionales destinados a realizar las simulaciones, siendo en algunos casos inviable. Es por ello que el objetivo principal de esta tesis consiste en: desarrollar herramientas capaces de tener en consideración todas estas vías sin incrementar de manera considerable el coste computacional.
Para ello inicialmente se realiza una exhaustiva revisión bibliográfica en donde se repasan las diferentes herramientas desarrolladas para la predicción de los NOx y se analizan sus puntos débiles. Éstos radican en simplificaciones de dudosa validez, que solamente tienen efectos positivos a altas y no a bajas temperaturas, o bien procesos demasiado tediosos y complejos para caracterizar los diferentes estados de una combustión. Posteriormente se diseña una metodología capaz de satisfacer el objetivo principal, basada en tres estudios. El primero permite profundizar en el proceso de formación de este contaminante a través de estudiar el incremento de la proporción de NO2 en los NOx debido a la recirculación masiva de estos productos. Por otro lado, los otros dos consisten en desarrollar diversas herramientas predictivas centradas exclusivamente en el NO, ya que como se dedujo del estudio anterior el NO2 se forma principalmente a partir del NO a través de un proceso de enfriamiento. La primera de estas herramientas está basada en una correlación empírica que a modo de ecuación correctiva mejora la capacidad predictiva, especialmente en condiciones de recirculación masiva, del mecanismo más implementado mundialmente, mientras que la segunda se sustenta en tabular únicamente la velocidad de formación del NO y el NO en equilibrio en función de la temperatura y de la cantidad de oxígeno disponible inicialmente para reaccionar.
Finalmente para poder llevar a cabo estos…

▼ A CAT C6.6 turbocharged diesel engine was operated in dual-fuel diesel-hydrogen mode. Hydrogen was inducted into the intake and replaced a portion of the diesel fuel. Hydrogen was added across multiple engine speeds and loads until reaching the knock limit, identified by a threshold on the rate of in-cylinder pressure rise. In-cylinder pressure and emissions data were recorded and compared to diesel-only operation. Up to 74% H2 substitution for diesel fuel was achieved. Hydrogen addition increased thermal efficiency up to 32.4%, increased peak in-cylinder pressure up to 40.0%, increased the maximum rate of pressure rise up to 281%, advanced injection timing up to 13.6?, increased NOx emissions up to 224%, and reduced CO2 emissions up to 47.6%. CO and HC emissions were not significantly affected during dual-fuel operation. At 25% load an operating condition was observed with low NOx and nearly 0 CO2 emissions, which however exhibited unstable combustion.

▼ En las últimas décadas ha avanzado mucho la comprensión científica sobre el proceso de combustión de los chorros
diesel de inyección directa gracias al desarrollo de todo tipo de técnicas e instalaciones ópticas. Además, se han desarrollado y mejorado una gran cantidad de modelos de Dinámica de Fluidos Computacional (CFD), los cuales se usan para el desarrollo de motores altamente eficientes y con bajas emisiones. Sin embargo, debido a la complejidad de los procesos físicos y químicos involucrados en este proceso de combustión, así como a las limitaciones significativas de los experimentos, aún hay muchas cuestiones sin responder: ¿Cómo afecta la combustión a la dinámica del chorro? ¿Cómo cuantificar de forma efectiva la cantidad de hollín y la temperatura del mismo en la llama? ¿Cómo afecta el flujo del aire y las inyecciones partidas al desarrollo del chorro y a la formación de hollín en condiciones no quiescente? Para ayudar a resolver las preguntas planteadas, el objetivo de este trabajo se pone en investigar al dinámica del chorro y la formación de hollín de los chorros
Diesel de inyección directa en condiciones quiescentes y no quiescentes por medio de diferentes técnicas ópticas.
El trabajo se ha dividido en dos bloques principales. El primero está centrado en el estudio de las modificaciones inducidas por la combustión en la dinámica del chorro, así como la caracterización de la formación de hollín en la llama, todo ello en condiciones quiescentes. Dichas condiciones son proporcionadas por una maqueta de flujo continuo a alta presión y temperatura. La expansión radial y axial del chorro reactivo se ha investigado usando n-dodecano, n-heptano y una mezcla binaria de combustibles primarios de referencia (80% n-heptano y 20% iso-octano en masa), basándose en una base de datos existente medida mediante visualización de schlieren. Se ha estudiado tanto el papel de las condiciones de operación como las propiedades del combustible. A continuación se ha desarrollado por primera vez una técnica combinada de extinción-radiación, aplicada a la medida de hollín en llamas
diesel. Gracias a esta técnica, tanto la fracción volumétrica de hollín como la temperatura se obtuvieron simultáneamente considerando los efectos de la autoabsorción en la radiación. Todo este trabajo se ha desarrollado dentro del marco de actividades de la Engine
Combustion Network (ECN).
El segundo bloque corresponde a la caracterización de la dinámica del chorro y de la formación de hollín en condiciones no quiescentes, que ocurren en la cámara de combustión de un motor monocilíndrico de dos tiempos con accesos ópticos. En esta parte, se ha llevado a cabo en primer lugar la visualización del chorro para una inyección única en condiciones no-reactivas y reactivas. Se han aplicado la visualización simultánea de schlieren y de la quimioluminiscencia del radical OH* para obtener la penetración del chorro y la longitud de despegue de la llama, mientras que la visualización de la extinción de ombroscopía difusa (DBI) se ha aplicado para cuantificar la…

▼ Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Mechanical Engineering 2012.
In order to improve engine-out emissions and performance of Diesel combustion systems, continued insight into the complex combustion and fuel spray processes must be gained. An optically accessible Diesel engine and modern diagnostic imaging methods can contribute to the understanding of the fuel spray, combustion, and soot formation phenomena that occur during the four-stroke engine cycle. This work will discuss non-intrusive methods of data acquisition used to gather in-cylinder information using an International VT275-based, optical DI Diesel engine with an electro-mechanical engine control system implemented for consistency of engine boundary conditions. Infrared, visible, and intensified OH imaging techniques are used to characterize fuel spray, combustion, and soot formation processes over a range of different operating conditions, including conventional and low-temperature combustion schemes. Probability maps of the in-cylinder occurrence of fuel, combustion, and soot volumes under low temperature combustion conditions are presented to analyze the effects that changes in engine load have on the process of combustion. The influence of the injector nozzle geometry on fuel spray characteristics and how these characteristics affect combustion is discussed. Comparisons between the combustion and soot production processes of oxygenated, bio-derived fuels and pump Diesel fuel are evaluated. General trends of in-cylinder soot formation are shown to compare well with engine-out filter smoke number emissions data across a range of loads, nozzle geometries, and fueling conditions.

▼ High levels of soot-in-oil can cause an increase in engine wear and oil viscosity, thus reducing oil drain intervals. The mechanisms by which soot particles are entrained into the bulk oil are not well understood. The research reported in this thesis addresses questions on the mechanisms of soot transfer to the lubricating oil in light-duty diesel engines with high pressure EGR systems. Deposition as a result of blow-by gas passing the piston ring pack and by absorption to the oil film on the cylinder liner via thermophoresis are soot transfer mechanisms that have been considered in detail. The investigations are based on analytical and simulation studies, and results based on complementary experimental studies are used to validate these. The experimental investigations aimed at evaluating the typical rate of accumulation and size distribution of soot agglomerates in oil. The oil samples analysed were collected during regular services from light-duty diesel engine vehicles. These were representative of vehicles meeting Euro IV and V emission regulation standards driven under real-world conditions. The rate of soot-in-oil was determined by thermogravimetric analysis and results showed a concentration of approximately 1 wt% of soot-in-oil after 15,000 km. The particle size distribution was determined using a novel technique, Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA), applied for the first time to soot-laden oil samples by the author [1, 2]. Results showed an average particle size distribution of 150 nm, irrespective of oil drain interval. Almost the totality of the particles were between 70 and 400 nm, with micro particles not detected in any of the samples analysed. For the samples investigated in this work, the Euro standard did not influence either the rate of soot deposition or the particles size distribution. To the author’s best knowledge, this is the first time that rate of soot deposition and particles size distribution from oil samples collected from vehicles of different Euro standard driven under real-world conditions are analysed and compared. Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) is a common technique used in diesel engines in order to reduce NO¬x emissions. However, it has the drawback that it increases the production of soot. In this work, particular attention has been given to its effects on the rate of soot deposition in oil. Both its influence on the soot produced during the combustion process and on the soot re-introduced in the combustion chamber by the EGR gas has been investigated through CFD simulations using Kiva-3V. Examining the relative importance of near–surface transport of soot by thermophoresis to the oil film on the liner and from blow-by gases to surfaces in the ring pack shows the former to be the dominant mechanism of soot transfer. EGR increases the rate of deposition of soot on the liner not only by increasing net production of soot, but also through the re-cycled particles. At EGR levels higher than 20%, the contribution of the Re-cycled soot becomes the major source for soot-in-oil. The…

▼ The investigation reported in this thesis is concerned with the topic of soot formation and soot particle motion in the cylinder of a light duty automotive diesel engine. CFD has been employed to simulate in-cylinder conditions and to investigate the source of particles which are transferred to the oil. The accumulation of soot in the lubricating oil of diesel engines is one of the factors limiting the interval between oil changes and hence service interval. Soot particles can be transferred to oil film on the cylinder wall layers through the complex motion of the fluid flow in the cylinder. The paths of soot particles from specific in-cylinder locations and crank angle instants have been explored using the results for cylinder charge motion predicted by the Kiva-3v CFD code. Using the velocity fields from the simulation data, massless tracking of the in-cylinder soot particles in space and time is carried out employing a particle tracking with trilinear interpolation technique. From this investigation, new computational codes for the prediction of soot particle paths and soot particle size change along a specific path in a diesel engine have been developed. This investigation is the first numerical study into soot particle trajectories within an engine and thus opens up a novel branch of research of soot formation within internal combustion engines. Computed soot paths from the investigation show that soot particles formed just below the fuel spray axis inside the middle bowl area during early injection period are more likely sources of soot particles on the cylinder wall layers than those formed later. Soot particles that are formed above the fuel axis have less tendency to be transported to the cylinder wall layers thus are not likely to be the main source of soot at the cylinder walls. Soot particles that are from the bowl rim area are found to be another source of soot transfer to the boundary layer, as they are directly exposed to reverse squish motion during the expansion stroke. Soot particles that are formed near the cylinder jet axis during fuel injection tend to move into the bowl. These soot particles are found to be from the relatively less concentrated area. In contrast, particles from the most concentrated areas tend to be moving into the bowl and pose least risk of contaminating oil films on the liner. Sensitivity studies of soot particle paths to swirl show that engine operating with low swirl ratios are more vulnerable to soot in oil problem as low swirls cause the bulk fluid flow to be moving closer to the cylinder walls due to fuel jet velocity and reverse squish motions. Decreasing the spray angle lessens the possibilities of soot particles from being transported close the cylinder wall layers while increasing the spray angle increases the possibilities of soot from the bowl region to be transported close to the cylinder wall layers. The temporal and spatial evolution of soot particle size can be predicted by using the history of temperature, pressure and gas species along the paths. An…

▼ An experimental investigation of post-start cold idling behaviour has been carried out on a modern single-cylinder HPCR DI light duty diesel engine with a low compression ratio of 15.5:1 at temperatures between 10 and -20°C. The trend toward lower compression ratios from more common values of around 22:1 a few years ago has resulted in lower compression pressures and temperatures, which negatively affects cold idle operation. Improvements in cycle-by-cycle stability of indicated work output through fuel injection strategy and glow plug temperature changes have been explored. This is important to improve NVH and the consumer’s perception of vehicle quality. The key effects on heat release characteristics have been identified and the associated impact on stability discussed. High speed imaging of ignition in a combustion bomb has been used to aid interpretation of engine results. Up to four pilot injections placed in advance of the main have been used. Shorter separation between pilots and pilot-to-main improves stability independent of the number of pilot injections and extends the range of main injection timings to meet target stability of 10% or lower at -20°C. Increasing the number of pilot injections was effective in stabilising combustion at all investigated soak temperatures at fuelling levels producing indicated work required to match friction and ancillary demands. Stability can be susceptible to deterioration at moderate soak temperatures because fuelling demand is relatively low. If a high number of pilot injections are to be avoided to reduce potential wear, then increasing main injection quantity is an effective method to stabilise combustion for a lower pilot number strategy but any increase above target load has to be harnessed by additional ancillary devices. Very high glow plug temperatures of up to 1200°C were examined using a smaller diameter tip ceramic type design. Stable combustion cannot be achieved through higher glow plug temperatures alone. A temperature of 1000°C, which can be achieved using a low voltage metallic type, is adequate to stabilise combustion when combined with a triple-pilot strategy at sub-zero temperatures. The best stability is achieved using 1200°C, which can only be achieved using a more expensive ceramic type, in combination with a triple-pilot strategy producing the desirable target of ~5% or below; the effects are not mutually exclusive. At high glow plug temperatures and using three or four pilot injections, stability improved with warmer soak temperatures. At -5°C, stability was relatively poor when one or two pilots were used irrespective of glow plug temperature. A high premixed contribution to main combustion is associated with improved stability. Minimum threshold values are necessary to stabilise combustion: ~25 J/° at -20°C, ~20 J/° at -5°C and only ~10 J/° at 10°C. A higher number of pilot injections raises pilot induced combustion and improves mixture distribution. These effects subsequently increase the premixed combustion and help sustain a strong main…

(more)
▼ Compatibility of fuel delivery materials (FDM) with biodiesel fuel in the fuel delivery system (FDS) under real-life common rail diesel engine (CRDE) operation poses a challenge to researchers and engine manufacturers alike. Although standard methods such as ASTM G31 and ASTM D471 for metals and elastomers, respectively, are deemed suitable for evaluating the effects of water content, total acid number (TAN) and oxidation products in biodiesel on FDM degradation, they do not resemble the actual engine operation conditions such as varying fuel pressure/temperature as well as the presence of a wide range of materials in the FDS of a diesel engine. Hence, the current allowable maximum 20 vol% of biodiesel with 80 vol% of diesel (B20) for use in diesel engines to date is debatable. Additionally, biodiesel utilization beyond B20 is essential to combat declining air quality and to reduce the dependence on fuel imports. This thesis aims to elucidate the actual compatibility present between FDM and biodiesel in the FDS under real-life CRDE operation. This was achieved through multi-faceted experimentations which commenced with analyses on the deteriorated palm biodiesel samples collected during and after CRDE operation. Next, the fuel properties which should be emphasized based on the deteriorated fuel were determined. This was then followed by ascertaining the effects of the emphasized fuel properties towards FDM degradation. Ultimately, the actual compatibility of FDM with biodiesel under engine operation through modified immersion investigations was determined. FDM degradation acceleration factors such as oxidized biodiesel, TAN and water content were eliminated since these factors were not affected based on the analysed fuel samples collected after engine operation. No oxidation products such as aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids were detected while the TAN and water content were within 0.446% and 0.625% of their initial values, respectively. Instead, the biodiesel’s dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration and conductivity value were not only found to have changed during and after engine operation by -93% and 293%, respectively, but were also found to have influenced biodiesel deterioration under engine operation. These two properties were subsequently discovered to have adversely affected FDM degradation independently. The copper corrosion rate and nitrile rubber (NBR) volume change increased by 9% and 13%, respectively, due to 22% increase in the conductivity value. In contrast, the copper corrosion rate and NBR volume swelling reduced by 91% and 27%, respectively, due to 96% reduction in the DO concentration. Ultimately, copper corrosion and NBR degradation were determined to be lowered by up to 92% and 73%, respectively, under modified immersion as compared to typical immersion condition. These outcomes distinctly show that acceptable to good compatibility is present between FDM and biodiesel under CRDE operation. The good compatibility is strongly supported since only a maximum lifespan reduction of 1.5 years is…

▼ Abstract: This thesis aims to contribute to the development of the isobaric
combustion engines by exploring multiple injection strategies, by means of computational simulations using a commercial software Converge. A single injection case validated with experimental data in terms pressure trace and heat release rate was used as a baseline reference. The adjustment of the turbulent kinetic energy dissipation constant is found to have the most significant influence in reproducing the pressure and heat release rate histories observed in the experiment. As a first attempt to achieve isobaric
combustion, a multiple injection strategy using a single injector was explored with up to four consecutive injections. Considering that the computational simulations were unable to reproduce the experimental data due to a number of uncertainties in the implemented models, the present study attempted to identify the main causes of the discrepancies through various parametric studies. First, different liquid fuel properties were examined and it was found that, while the physical properties of the fuels have a notable effect in terms of evaporation and atomization, such variations were not sufficient to reproduce the experimentally observed heat release cycle. Next, the effects of the uncertainties in the kinetic mechanisms were assessed by the reaction multiplier, an artificial adjustment of the rate constants, and it was found that the reaction multiplier affected the ignition of the first injection, but not the subsequent injection events. As such, the use of reaction multipliers to reproduce the experimental data was found to be unsuccessful. The effect of thermodynamics properties was also examined by employing real-gas equations of state, such as Redlich-Kwong and Peng-Robinson, and the results showed little difference at the conditions under consideration. Finally, advancing the start of injection was found to have the most significant effect on pressure trace and heat release rate to lead to a substantial improvement in the numerical prediction. The results suggest that the key uncertainties in modeling of the present engine
combustion are likely the accurate timing of the start of injection combined with the exact injection rate shape profile.

▼ Diesel engine
combustion is heavily impacted by the chemical and physical properties of the fuel being used. Fuel composition plays a role in the in-cylinder behavior of the fuel and the emissions produced during
combustion. Particularly, the Cetane Number (CN) of the fuel, which quantifies the ignition characteristics of the fuel, significantly impacts the quality and mode of the
combustion. In this study, a low CN (30) Fuels for Advanced
Combustion Engines (FACE) fuel is blended with two higher CN fuels; a Palm Methyl Ester (PME) biofuel and a Fischer-Tropsch Gas to Liquids (GTL)
diesel. The blends are formulated to match the CN of 55 of a high CN FACE fuel.
The fuel blends are used to operate a light-duty
diesel engine to identify the
combustion characteristics of the fuel under a moderate load, approximately 4.5 bar Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP), with high and low levels of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). To decouple
combustion phasing effects within the cycles, the 50% mass fraction burned point is matched for all fuels by adjusting the start of fuel injection timing. The performance of the blended fuels is then compared to the high and low CN FACE fuels. The CN of each fuel is found to be the primary driving factor in the emissions and efficiency achieved. The low CN FACE fuel produced higher NOx emissions and lower
combustion efficiency under high and low EGR operation than each of the high CN fuels. The PME and GTL fuel blends produced lower smoke emissions than the high CN FACE fuel under high EGR operation, but slightly higher NOx, CO, and THC emissions under both high and low EGR operation.

▼ Dans cette thèse, un modèle numérique a été proposé
pour simuler la combustion liquide des carburants conventionnels et
non-conventionnels, en particulier le mélange de biodiesel B20. La
matrice de test numérique constitue de quatre cas d’écoulement
réactifs c.à.d. avec combustion et d’un cinquième avec injection
liquide sans combustion (écoulement non-réactif). Les modèles sont
calculés à l’aide du logiciel FLUENT™ v.14 en 3D et a l’état
stationnaire. Les flammes de diffusion turbulentes sont modélisées
en utilisant l’approche de flammelette laminaire stable, avec une
fonction de densité de probabilité jointe (PDF). La Validation est
effectuée en comparant les mesures expérimentales disponibles avec
les résultats obtenus de la CFD. L’aérodynamique de la chambre de
combustion, ainsi que les températures de parois extérieures sont
captures avec un degré de précision satisfaisant. La validation des
principaux produits de combustion, tels que : CO2, H2O et O2,
montre des résultats satisfaisants pour tous les cas d'écoulement
réactifs, mais certaines incohérences ont été relevées pour les
émissions de CO. On pense que le banc d'essai (la géométrie de la
chambre de combustion et son état de fonctionnement) n'est pas
suffisamment adéquat pour la combustion de combustibles liquides.
D’autre part, et d’un point de vue numérique, l’approche de
flammelette laminaire stable a été trouvé raisonnablement hors
mesure de saisir les effets profonds du non-équilibre chimique qui
sont souvent associés au processus de lente formation d’un
polluant, comme le CO.
In this thesis, a CFD model was proposed to
simulate the liquid combustion of conventional and non-conventional
biodiesel fuels, in particularly the B20 biodiesel blend. The
numerical test matrix consists of four reacting flow cases, and one
non-reacting liquid fuel injection case. The models are computed
using FLUENT™ v.14 in a 3D steady-state fashion. The turbulent
non-premixed diffusion flames are modeled using the steady laminar
flamelet approach; with a joint presumed Probability density
function (PDF) distribution. Validation is achieved by comparing
available experimental measurements with the obtained CFD results.
Combustor aerodynamics and the outer wall temperatures are captured
with a satisfactory degree of accuracy. Validation of the main
combustion products, such as: CO2, H2O, and O2, shows satisfactory
results for all the reacting flow cases; however, some
inconsistencies were found for the CO emissions. It is believed
that the test rig (combustor geometry and operating condition) is
not sufficiently adequate for burning liquid fuels. On the other
hand, from a numerical combustion point of view, the steady laminar
flamelet approach was found not reasonably able to capture the deep
non-equilibrium effects associated with the slow formation process
of a pollutant, such as CO.

▼ This work concerned experimental studies of heat
transfer in a light-duty diesel engine. Combustion is affected by
several parameters, such as pressure, engine speed, mass of
injected fuel and in-cylinder gas flow. These parameters are in
turn affected by the combustion chamber geometry and fuel spray
characteristics. At high load the exhaust heat was increased more
than at high engine speed. Swirl was found to speed up the
combustion event and increased heat loss to the piston cooling, but
had no measurable effect on exhaust heat loss. Exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) diverts part of the exhaust gas and mixes it
with intake air. The recirculated gas acts as a heat sink and
reduces in-cylinder temperatures and thus, heat losses. The
air-fuel ratio is another important factor. More air resulted in
faster combustion while also increasing exhaust gas temperature.
Altering the combustion chamber geometry affected both in-cylinder
gas flow and mixing. A more open and shallow design was found to
redistribute heat losses from cooling media to exhaust. The
original injectors were proven to have a higher fuel flow than the
two other configurations, but faster combustion and less heat in
the exhaust was mainly found with the injectors with fewest holes.
Hot exhaust gases could be more useful than hot cooling media,
because that heat may be extracted and used to improve engine
efficiency. This reduces fuel consumption, and consequently
emissions of greenhouse gases, which contribute to global warming.
The world energy demand is still increasing, and more natural
resources are being used. Higher efficiency requires less fuel, and
thereby reduces the impact on environment and humanity. The work
was performed in a 4-cylinder light-duty diesel engine.
Temperatures and mass flow measurements were performed in cooling
media and exhaust gas. From these calculations were executed to
find out the heat fractions emitted to each medium. Two combustion
chamber geometries and three injectors were tested and compared
with respect to their impact on combustion and heat
losses.

▼ The world at present is confronted with the twin
crisis of fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation.
Increase in energy demand, stringent emission norms and depletion
of oil resources have led the researchers to find alternative fuels
for internal combustion engines. Research work is still in progress
in finding out other alternative fuels mainly derived from
renewable or from wastes. In this context, waste plastic oil is
considered an alternative fuel since it has properties closer to
that of petroleum based fuels. Waste plastic also pose a very
serious environment challenge because of their disposal problems
all over the world. Plastics have now become indispensable
materials in the modern world and application in the industrial
field is continually increasing. In the present work, experimental
investigations have been carried out on using waste plastic oil as
an alternative fuel for diesel. The present work mainly focusses on
comparing the different methods to improve the performance of a
neat waste plastic oil (WPO) fuelled compression ignition engine. A
single cylinder, four stroke air cooled constant speed DI diesel
engine with a rated output of 4.4 kW at 1500 rpm was used for the
experimental work. Investigations include the study of combustion,
performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine fuelled
with Waste plastic oil (WPO) Diesel Fuel (DF) blends and distilled
waste plastic oil (DWPO) as fuels. In the fifth technique, neat
DWPO was used at different retarded injection timing with optimised
EGR flow. In the sixth technique, neat DWPO was used at different
nozzle opening pressure with optimised retarded injection timing
and EGR. Further, improvements in brake thermal efficiency with a
significant reduction in over all emissions are noticed. EGR is
effective in controlling the NOX emissions significantly. By using
nozzle opening pressure, shows an improvement in performance with
significant reduction in emissions. newline newline

▼ The fossil fuels are depleting and their prices are
going up day by newlineday. Moreover, the environmental issues
concerned with the exhaust gases newlineemission by the usage of
fossil fuels are also increasing steadily. In this newlinecontext,

thermodynamic properties which are similar or even better than
newlinethat of petroleum based diesel fuel (PBDF). However certain

These properties strongly affect injection, airfuel newlinemixing

▼ Le moteur à allumage par compression est incontestablement une des solutions pour réduire les émissions de CO2. L’utilisation de forts rapports de compression permet d’atteindre des rendements plus élevés que les moteurs à allumage commandé. Cependant, cette motorisation possède un certain nombre de défauts liés à l’inflammation du carburant et au contrôle du dégagement de chaleur. Ainsi, lorsque le moteur à allumage par compression est associé à un carburant Diesel et utilisant les systèmes d’injection traditionnels, les niveaux des émissions polluantes et du bruit de combustion peuvent devenir critiques. Une solution consiste à décomposer l’injection du carburant en plusieurs pulses (injections multiples) afin d’obtenir un contrôle optimal de la stratification du mélange air-carburant et du taux de dégagement de chaleur. Cette approche, rendue possible par le rail haute pression, est en train de devenir la règle dans les moteurs Diesel. Devant la complexité des phénomènes physico-chimiques rencontrés lors de de la combustion Diesel avec des injections multiples, la modélisation de celle-ci par des outils industriels telle que la modélisation 3D RANS (résolution des équations moyennes) reste un challenge. L’amélioration des modèles est donc essentielle afin de prédire le dégagement de chaleur et les émissions polluantes. Etant donné le manque de résultats expérimentaux précis, suffisamment détaillés et complets, l’amélioration substantielle des modèles reste problématique. La simulation numérique directe (DNS) est donc un outil permettant de générer des résultats détaillés et ainsi de développer et évaluer des modèles pour la simulation RANS. Dans cette thèse, différents modèles de combustion reposant sur une approche tabulée de la chimie ont été évalués afin de dégager leurs voies d’amélioration dans des configurations d’injections multiples, en ayant recours à des DNS de configurations représentatives d’injections multiples. Une base de données DNS représentative du problème a été construite, analysée et a servi ensuite de support à l’analyse approfondie des modèles étudiés. A la suite de cette analyse, certaines hypothèses sous-jacentes aux modèles ont été revisitées.
Compression-ignition engines are widelyused, mainly due to their high thermal efficiency andconsequent low CO2 emissions compared to sparkignitionengines. However, this technology has somedisadvantages related to the limited control over autoignitionof the air-fuel mixtures and heat release rate.Hence, in compression-ignition engines at their mostbasic form, the level of combustion noise and emissionsof nitrogen oxides and particulate matter canbecome critical. An effective strategy to tackle theseproblems is to decompose fuel injection into multipleinjection pulses permitting an optimal control of theair-fuel mixture formation and, thus, of the autoignitiondelay and the heat release rate. Multiple injectionstrategies become more and more popular dueto their advantages over conventional single injectioncycles. The physical phenomena involved in…

▼ [ES] En los últimos años, la evolución de las tecnologías de inyección ha permitido no solo mejorar el proceso de mezcla, sino también controlar con precisión los parámetros de inyección, agregando flexibilidad a los sistemas para nuevas estrategias y un grado adicional de complejidad para los investigadores. Más aún, las estrategias de inyecciones múltiples han demostrado ser capaces de reducir el consumo de combustible, así como también la emisión de partículas, los óxidos de carbono, los óxidos de nitrógeno, el hollín y los hidrocarburos no quemados, convirtiéndose en un estándar en la industria.
Esta tesis presenta una metodología experimental para estudiar los efectos de dos estrategias diferentes de inyección múltiple (piloto-principal y principal-post) sobre el desarrollo fundamental y la combustión del chorro.
Primero, se caracterizó hidráulicamente el inyector midiendo su tasa de inyección y flujo de cantidad de movimiento. Para una masa inyectada objetivo, se obtuvo la distribución de combustible para los diferentes tiempos de separación y las cantidades de piloto/post. Se implementó un nuevo enfoque para evaluar la distribución de combustible utilizando la señal de flujo de cantidad de movimiento. Se pudo observar que las inyecciones de piloto/post que se realizan en un estado totalmente transitorio presentan mayor desviación entre disparos. El aumento de la cantidad inyectada redujo la dispersión, con un ligero descenso al disminuir también la presión del rail. La repetibilidad de las inyecciones post se vio afectada significativamente por el tiempo de separación entre pulsos.
Luego, se aplicaron diagnósticos ópticos de alta velocidad para visualizar el desarrollo del chorro en atmósferas tanto inerte como reactiva. Se utilizaron dos nuevas soluciones de procesado de imágenes: una para desacoplar dos eventos de inyección que coexisten en un solo cuadro, y otra para estimar el tiempo de retraso al autoencendido de múltiples inyecciónes. En cuanto al desarrollo del chorro en condiciones inertes, no se observó ninguna influencia en la longitud líquida estabilizada y el ángulo del chorro, respecto a la cantidad inyectada por la piloto, ni de su separación al pulso principal. Con respecto a la fase vapor, el aumento de la masa inyectada del primer pulso empujó la zona de transición más allá del límite óptico. En general, el segundo pulso penetró a una mayor velocidad, comparado con el caso de una inyección única. El ángulo de dispersión de la fase de vapor aumentó con la inclusión de la inyección piloto, pero no se observó una tendencia clara con respecto a la cantidad de la piloto ni a su tiempo de separación.
En cuanto al desarrollo del chorro en condiciones reactivas, el tiempo de retraso al autoencendido del segundo pulso disminuyó en referencia a su inicio de inyección. En promedio, las estrategias piloto-principal vieron reducciones del 30% al 40%, mientras que las principal-post del 40% al 50%. Con respecto a la longitud de despegue estabilizada, no se observó una tendencia definida con respecto a los…

O MCI (Motor de Combustão Interna) é um produto largamente utilizado na indústria, o que o torna um objeto interessante de estudo, o qual requer constante desenvolvimento com implementação de novas tecnologias. Buscando contribuir para o avanço tecnológico na área, foi realizado um
estudo do comportamento estrutural de uma de suas principais peças o bloco de cilindros. O mesmo é responsável pela união de todos os outros elementos, devendo ser suficientemente rígido para absorver os esforços oriundos da explosão no interior da câmara e resultantes das forças de oscilação de primeira e segunda ordem originárias das massas dos elementos oscilatórios do motor. Nesta dissertação desejando definir o carregamento principal sobre o bloco do motor, foram realizados diversos estudos, dentre eles: a regulagem da carga onde analisa-se analiticamente as transferências de gases que circulam em um motor, também foi realizada uma análise estequiométrica do combustível, determinando a sua composição e seu poder calorífico, na sequência foram determinados os parâmetros que caracterizam um motor, definidos aqui como cálculos de desempenho, estes foram inter-relacionados em uma planilha de Excel. Posteriormente o carregamento principal do bloco foi definido, realizando estudos de
casos, com influência sobre a pressão de trabalho dos cilindros, dividindo-os em fatores de carga. A modelagem do bloco foi realizada no software Autodesk Inventor 2012, as dimensões e posicionamentos das partes foram definidas segundo a realização de cálculos e dimensões de projeto como: cálculos de tração nas roscas do cabeçote e dos mancais do motor; medidas de diâmetro e curso dos pistões; cálculos da velocidade média dos pistões, distâncias das engrenagens de distribuição e relações de cálculo como o raio da manivela sobre o comprimento da biela. Como resultado da modelagem obteve-se um sólido 3D o qual foi analisado no software Ansys Work Bench versão V12, definido o carregamento total sobre o bloco, ao final obteve-se uma análise gráfica dos deslocamentos totais, das tensões equivalentes, cortantes, normais e uma análise de fadiga do bloco do motor e sua capa do mancal, obtendo uma resposta estrutural direta para os cálculos analíticos de desempenho e os estudos de
caso.

Resumo: A emissão de poluentes por veículos automotores é um dos grandes problemas ambientais enfrentados na atualidade. Para resolver o problema de emissão de poluentes à modificação da matriz energética foi o caminho adotado, e para isso realizaram-se investimentos em tecnologias para fabricação de motores com melhor eficiência térmica e capazes de operar com biocombustíveis. No Brasil etanol foi o combustível objeto de estudo para realizar a mudança na matriz energética, por ser um produto produzido em larga escala no Brasil. Durante o estudo realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os processos de produção de
etanol, biodiesel e óleos vegetais. Avaliou-se a viabilidade técnica e financeira de se utilizar uma mistura de combustível óleo diesel, biodiesel versus o desempenho da mistura óleo diesel, biodiesel e etanol anidro em um motor de ignição por compressão visando não acarretar perda de performance no motor. Para a avaliação do desempenho global do motor utilizou-se um motor ciclo diesel comercial, operando com 95% de óleo diesel e 5% biodiesel e comparou-se esse mesmo motor utilizando uma mistura de 92,15% de óleo diesel, 4,85% de biodiesel e 3% de etanol anidro
This work investigated the feasibility of using a blend of standard Brazilian diesel (which contains 5% biodiesel) and up to 5% ethanol. We characterized the mixture as fuel and measured the performance of a diesel engine operating with a blend containing 3% anhydrous ethanol, the maximum percentage of ethanol that did not reduce the cetane number of the fuel below that specified in Brazilian legislation (ANP Resolution
42). The presence of anhydrous ethanol in the mixture did not cause a significant impact on engine performance as measured by brake power, brake torque and brake specific fuel consumption tests. The thermal efficiency of the engine used in the tests was slightly higher with standard diesel than with the diesel-biodiesel-ethanol blend
