Diesel engine combustion becomes very rough and can lead even to deflagration under high altitude conditions, which is harmful component durability. In this study, the effects of on main characteristics—in-cylinder fluid flow, spray behavior, pressure temperature distribution—were analyzed with CFD. A numerical model was built CONVERGE platform validated optical behavior trace measured by test ...

Knowledge of the oxidation, ignition and combustion of bulk metals is important for fire safety in the production, management and utilization of liquid and gaseous oxygen for ground based and space applications. This proposal outlines studies in continuation of research initiated earlier under NASA support to investigate the ignition and combustion characteristics of bulk metals under varying g...

The objective of the present work is to evaluate whether variable ignition timing can be effect on exhaust emission and engine performance of a spark ignition engine. The study describes some results of research in the area of spark ignition engine and is assessed by studying its performance and emission characteristics relative to that of conventional ignition engine using gasoline and methano...

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) concept is the most simple and Abstract more economical method for NO pollutant reduction in spark ignition engines. However, when the higher amount of the EGR gas enters into the engine, the power, torque and fuel economy of the engine decrease. One effective solution for reduction of undesirable effect of this method is to use cooled EGR, that results in more r...

Abundant availability and potential for lower CO2 emissions are drivers for increased utilization of natural gas in automotive engines for transportation applications. However scarce refueling resources for on-road vehicles impose an infrastructure limited barrier on natural gas use in transportation. A novel ‘bimodal’ engine which can operate in a compressor mode has been developed that allows...

The increasing industrialization and motorization of the world has led to a step rise for the demand of petroleum-based fuels. Petroleum-based fuels are obtained from limited reserves. These finite reserves are highly concentrated in certain regions of the world. Therefore, those countries not having these resources are facing energy/foreign exchange crisis, mainly due to the import of crude pe...
