Capturing Pressure Oscillations in Numerical Simulations of Internal Combustion Engines

Accurate Simulation of Low-Pressure Port Fuel and Water Spray in Internal Combustion Engines; Numerical and Experimental Study

One of the solutions to reduce pollutants and increase engine power is to use water spray in internal combustion engines. In this type of engine, fuel and water sprays play an important role in engine performance. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to accurately simulate fuel and water sprays and provide optimal coefficients to achieve the best simulation results. For this purpose, th...

Ethanol Internal Combustion Engines

Ethanol Internal Combustion Engines HIGHLIGHTS PROCESS AND TECHNOLOGY STATUS – The use of biofuels (e.g. bio-ethanol and biodiesel) in the transport sector can save significant amounts of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Internal combustion engines (ICEs) can run on bio-ethanol manufactured from biomass or waste through biochemical processes. Agricultural feedstock such as sugar...

Transient combustion control of internal combustion engines

This thesis addresses the problem of combustion control for automotive engines. A method is proposed to complement existing controllers, which use lookup tables based on steady-state operation. During transients, the new control method adjusts fast control variables (ignition or injection time) to compensate for deviations in the cylinder initial conditions from their optimal values due to the ...

Fiber-optic pressure sensors for internal combustion engines.

Two designs incorporating embedded fiber Fabry-Perot interferometers as strain gauges were used for monitoring gas pressure in internal combustion engines. Measurements on a Diesel engine, a gasoline-fueled engine, and a natural-gas engine are reported.
