Plasma-Chemical Kinetics of Film Deposition in Argon-Methane and Argon-Acetylene Mixtures Under Atmospheric Pressure Conditions

Experimental investigation on constant-speed diesel engine fuelled with biofuel mixtures under the effect of fuel injection

The petroleum product has seen a drastic demand in the recent past. Biofuels are the only solution to overcome this power crisis. In the view of sustainable energy development, biodiesel and its additives have become the best options for fossil fuel-based engines. In this work, a biodiesel mix was used to show the possible utilization of different biofuels. An experimental investigation was car...

Multi-Dimensional Simulation of n-Heptane Combustion under HCCI Engine Condition Using Detailed Chemical Kinetics

In this study, an in-house multi-dimensional code has been developed which simulates the combustion of n-heptane in a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine. It couples the flow field computations with detailed chemical kinetic scheme which involves the multi-reactions equations. A chemical kinetic scheme solver has been developed and coupled for solving the chemical reactions an...

Modeling of Chemical and Mixing Effects on Methane Autoignition under Direct-injection, Stratified Charged Conditions

Fundamental experiments and direct numerical simulations indicate that reaction rates during the ignition delay of direct-injection, stratified charge mixtures are determined by both chemical reaction and mixing rates. Consequently, the commonly used, purely chemistry-dependent approach for predicting ignition is no longer valid when the mixing rate limits the reaction rates. This work proposes...

Improved Turbine Engine Hierarchical Modeling and Simulation Based on Engine Fuel Control System

Aircraft engines constitute a comp‌lex system, requiring adequate mon-itoring to ensure flight safety and timely maintenance. The best way to achieve this, is modeling the engine. Therefore, in this paper, a suitable mathematical model from engine controller design point of view, for a specific aero turbine engine is proposed by the aid of MATLAB/Simulink software. The model is capable of reduc...
