A new high-bandwidth transient dynamometer has been designed and is being built for application to a single-cylinder research engine. The goal of this system is to accurately reproduce all of the dynamic, instantaneous torques that this single-cylinder would experience if it were in a multi-cylinder engine. This is accomplished by calculating these instantaneous torques in real time using a det...

introduction nowadays, due to higher environmental pollution and decreasing fossil fuels many countries make decisions to use renewable fuels and restrict using of fossil fuels. renewable fuels generally produce from biological sources. biodiesel is an alternative diesel fuel derived from the transesterification of vegetable oils, animal fats, or waste frying oils. considering the differences be...

investigations were carried out to evaluate the performance of direct injection diesel engine with medium grade low heat rejection (lhr) combustion chamber and 3 mm air gap insulated piston, 3 mm air gap insulated liner, and ceramic coated cylinder head [ceramic coating with the thickness of 500 µ was made on the inside portion of the cylinder head].the engine had different operating conditions...

This paper presents a comparison between measured and predicted results of the in-cylinder tumble flow and the flow coefficient generated by a port-valve-liner assembly on a steady-flow test bench. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods were employed to gain further insight into characteristics of an engine. The purpose was to advance understanding of the stationary turbulenc...

AbstructCylinder pressure is an important parameter in engine combustion analysis or engine diagnosis. An approach is introduced to estimate cylinder pressure and combustion heat release in multicylinder SI engines based solely on engine speed measurements. Because of the nonlinear nature of engines, this estimation employs a nonlinear observer: the Sliding Observer. In many applications, cylin...

nowadays biodiesel is receiving more attention as a most important renewable energy for using in diesel engines. inthis research, the application of response surface methodology (rsm) was highlighted to investigate the effects of biodiesel-diesel blends (b0, b20, b50 and b100), engine operating parameters (engine load and  speed) on co2 emission of a diesel engine. the experiments were conducte...

Porous media has interesting features in compared with free flame combustion due to the extended of the lean flammability limits and lower emissions. Advanced new generation of internal combustion (IC) engines are expected to have far better emissions levels both gaseous and particulate matter, at the same time having far lower fuel consumption on a wide range of operating condition. These c...

Engines equipped with camless valve trains will have greater space for performance optimization. In this paper, based on the electromagnetic actuated valve train system, one-dimensional and three-dimensional simulation models on engine thermodynamic cycle and in-cylinder charge motion are established, respectively. With the application of early-intake-valve closing (EIVC) strategy，unthrottled l...
