Investigation of flash boiling injection schemes in lean-burn gasoline direct injection engines

Combustion Modeling for Modern Direct Injection Diesel Engines

In order to comply with stringent pollutant emissions regulations, a detailed analysis of the engine combustion and emission is required. In this field, computational tools like CFD and engine cycle simulation play a fundamental role. Therefore, the goal of the present work is to simulate a high speed DI diesel engine and study the combustion and major diesel engine emissions with more deta...

Knock Suppression Calculations In Highly Turbocharged Gasoline/Ethanol Engines Using Direct Ethanol Injection

Calculations are described of knock suppression using direct ethanol injection in spark ignition gasoline/ethanol engines. The calculations show that evaporative cooling from direct ethanol injection, coupled with the high octane rating of ethanol, can be highly effective in inhibiting knock, thereby allowing use of small turbocharged engines with substantially increased efficiency. The calcula...

Hybrid Command Governors for Idle Speed Control in Gasoline Direct Injection Engines

Characterisation of Particulate Matter Emitted from Aviation Gas Turbines and Spray-Guided Direct Injection Gasoline Engines

Object Oriented Modeling of a Gasoline Direct Injection System

The topic of this paper is the object oriented modeling of a Common Rail Direct Injection System of a gasoline engine. The injection system of a gasoline engine is described; the main functional elements are detailed and an object oriented implementation using the Modelica language is proposed. The availability of a fast and easily reconfigurable simulator allows to study how different parts of...
