Controlling Cyclic Combustion Variations in Lean-Fueled Spark-Ignition Engines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Under conditions of lean fueling or high exhaust gas recirculation, interactions between residual cylinder gas and freshly injected fuel and air produce undesirable combustion instabilities in spark-ignition engines. The resulting dynamics can be described as noisy bifurcations of a nonlinear map and are complicated by cylinder-to-cylinder coupling. We discuss the key dynamic features relevant to control and demonstrate simple feedback control of a multi-cylinder test vehicle.

Providing a thermodynamic model to simulate the spark ignition engine fueled with natural gas and ethanol mixture
The use of natural gas as an alternative fuel, in recent decades has been proposed. Good combustion properties and cats less than it could be the perfect choice for the next generation. Simulation models can be of great help engine designers. Simulation models to reduce the time and costs for the development of new engines as well as in identifying the technical value that need special attentio...
متن کاملExperimental investigations on a pre-chamber spark plug with variable heat range by integrating a controlled hot surface
In gasoline engines, pre-chamber spark ignition systems are used to achieve high efficiency and low NOx emissions when operating under lean conditions. While a cold pre-chamber spark plug can lead to misfiring and flame quenching under cold start or part load operation, a hot pre-chamber can result in uncontrolled pre-ignition phenomena under full load operation. This paper presents an approach...

Hydrous methanol is used with 15% water content in this HCCI engine and its performance and emission behavior is documented. A spark plug is used for ass...
متن کاملTime Irreversibility of Cycle-by-Cycle Engine Combustion Variations
Spark-ignition engines exhibit patterns of increasing instability as engine fueling goes from stoichiometric to lean. The observation of time irreversibility in cycleresolved combustion measurements indicates that this combustion instability is inherently nonlinear. Using time return maps and symbolic time-series analysis, we demonstrate the presence of strong time irreversibility in experiment...
متن کاملTheoretical study of the effect of hydrogen addition to natural gas-fueled direct-injection engines
The preparation of air–fuel mixture is considerably dependent on fluid flow dynamics to achieve improved performance, efficiency, and engine combustion in the appearance of flow. In this study, the effects of mixtures of hydrogen and compressed natural gas (CNG) on a spark ignition engine are numerically considered. This article presents the results of a direct-injection engine using methane–hy...
