The paper presents a simulation investigation of using molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) combined with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) or selective (SEGR) to reduce CO2 emission from the turbine in order cope climate change problem. EGR SEGR can be used concentrate low-concentration exhausts. concentration is then raised further by adding MCFC’s cathode. suggested gas–steam cycle system paired ...

in this study, a numerical simulation using the cfd software, fluent, has been conducted to examine the effect of various shapes of the venturi component sections in order to find the optimum venturi specifications to increase the egr rate with minimum pressure loss at the part load operation range. the cfd results reveal that the venturi should be precisely optimized to introduce the required ...

In this paper we analyze the nonlinear dynamic behavior of an internal exhaust gas recirculation system based on a mean-value model of an experimental automotive engine equipped with a camshaft phaser. We develop a control scheme that adjusts camshaft timing to reduce feedgas emissions while maintaining transient engine torque response similar to that of a conventional engine with zero exhaust ...

In order to meet tight emission limits Diesel engines are nowadays equipped with additional hardware components like an exhaust gas recirculation valve and a variable geometry turbocharger. Conventional engine control units use two SISO control loops to regulate the exhaust gas recirculation valve and the variable geometry turbocharger, although their effects are highly coupled. Moreover, these...

This paper presents an experimental investigation of various exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rates on the engine performance like brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption and brake power and engine exhaust gas emission parameters like nitrogen oxides(NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon(HC) and particulate matter (PM) for the fuel used in the engine. Four observations are ma...

In order to lower the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) concentration in internal combustion engine emissions and to improve performance, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Scavenging mechanism are introduced. EGR recirculates a fraction of the exhaust gas back into the cylinders, thus diluting the intake air. This lowers the maximum combustion temperature and, since the formation of NOx is heavily depend...

In this study a heat exchanger is designed for cooling exhaust gas and an experiment is carried out to investigate the effect of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) temperature on destruction of the fuel’s availability due to combustion processes in IDI diesel engine cylinder. To serve this aim an exergy analysis is conducted on the engine cylinder which provides all the availability terms by which...

A multivariable control scheme is designed to minimize emission of nitrogen oxides NOx and generation of smoke in a Diesel engine equipped with a variable geometry tur bocharger VGT and an external exhaust gas recirculation system EGR Steady state optimization results in operat ing points where NOx emissions and smoke generation are highly coupled and require joint management by VGT and EGR act...

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 ...
