The effects of hydrogen-enriched biogas on combustion and emissions a dual-fuel spark-ignition engine with different hydrogen concentration ratios were studied numerically. A 1-cylinder spark ignition was used to perform numerical simulation. To reveal the influence compression gaseous engine, crankshaft modified generate 8.5, 9.0, 9.4, 10.0, 10.4. contained 60 40% methane (CH4) carbon dioxide ...

Air path control of a spark ignition engine without an EGR loop, equipped with variable-valve-timing (VVT) actuators, is addressed in this paper. VVT devices are used to produce internal exhaust gas recirculation, providing beneficial effects in terms of fuel consumption and pollutant emissions reduction. However, VVT actuators affect the fresh air charge in the cylinders. This has an impact on...

We examine a simple, fuel-air, model of combustion in spark ignition (si) engine with indirect injection. In our two fluid model, variations of fuel mass burned in cycle sequences appear due to stochastic fluctuations of a fuel feed amount. We have shown that a small amplitude of these fluctuations affects considerably the stability of a combustion process strongly depending on the quality of a...

Substantial progress in engine emission control is needed in order to meet present and proposed regulations for both spark ignition and diesel engines. Tightening regulations throughout the world reflect the ongoing concern with vehicle emissions. Recently developed compact plasmatron fuel converters have features that are suitable for onboard production of hydrogen for both fuel pretreatment a...

This paper deals air to fuel ratio control of a spark ignition engine, whose pollutant is a major cause of air pollution. A direct adaptive control using Gaussian neural networks is developed to compensate transient fueling dynamics and measurement error in mass air flow rate into the cylinder. The transient fueling compensation method is coupled with a dynamic sliding mode control technique th...
