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...

IJSER © 2013 http://www.ijser.org Abstract: The Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition Engine, HCCI, has the potential to combine the best of the Spark. Ignition and Compression Ignition Engines. With high octane number fuel the engine operates with high compression ratio and lean mixtures giving CI engine equivalent fuel consumption or better. Due to premixed charge without rich or stoichiome...

The possibility to use carbon nanotubes (CNTs) enriched with a certain amount of metal nanoparticles for photo-inducing the combustion of liquid fuel sprays, gaseous and solid fuels was investigated in different research works. CNTs photo-ignition phenomenon has been used to trigger the combustion of different fuel typologies, demonstrating better features compared with those obtained by employ...

A correct prediction of the ignition process represents a fundamental pre-requisite for a successful CFD simulation of combustion SI engines. Ignition involves many scales, physical and chemical phenomena that need to be described in detail. Within this context, the authors developed a Lagrangian model that can be used to predict the first stages of the combustion process in SI engines, when th...

Combustion analysis has been conducted on a small two-stroke glow ignition engine, which has similar combustion characteristics to homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines. Difficulties such as unknown ignition timing and the polytropic index have been addressed by combining both heat release and mass fraction burn analyses. Results for all operating conditions have shown good cor...

This paper deals with highlighting the improvisations in the working of a two-wheeled four stroke internal combustion engines. The efficiency of these small engines were enhanced with increased power output just by increasing the number of fuel igniting element i.e. Spark Plug. Conventional engines employed a single spark plug in its engine for igniting the mixture of fuel and air. But to have ...
