In this research, a new exhaust manifold and its cooling jackets is first designed for the integrated exhaust manifold into cylinder head (IEMCH) for a turbocharged engine. Then, the gas exchange and flow analysis is carried out numerically to evaluate the proper conditions for the exhaust gas and the coolant stream respectively. Finally, the entire engine parts are thermally analyzed to assure...

The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) can be used to recover the waste heat from a stationary compressed natural gas (CNG) engine. However, the exhaust energy rate varies with engine load, which can influence the operating performance of the ORC system, therefore, it is necessary to study the running state of the ORC system. In this paper, first, the numerical simulation model of the ORC system is bu...

Gaseous fuels, e.g., natural gas, biogas, have several advantages over liquid fuels owing to their favorable physical and chemical properties, lower carbon numbers in the fuel composition no issues regarding evaporation. The present study investigated compressed gas (CNG) port injection (PFI) direct (DI) systems compared gasoline (GDI) cases a spark ignition (SI) naturally aspirated single cyli...

This paper investigates the modelling and the control of a turbocharged air system of a gasoline engine. The purpose of the work described here is to propose a new control strategy based on an original physical model of the system. This first part describes the development of a simple model of the system. Based on a complete representation of the system, some simplifications and assumptions are...

In this study, the thermodynamic performance of a turbocharged compression ignition engine with heat transfer and friction term losses was analyzed. The purpose of this work was to provide a flexible thermodynamic model based on the filling-and-emptying approach for the performance prediction of a four-stroke turbocharged compression ignition engine. To validate the model, comparisons were made...

Turbocharged (TC) spark-ignited (SI) engines are popular as they combine high power output with good fuel economy. Furthermore, their emissions can be successfully reduced using a three way catalyst (TWC) provided that the airfuel ratio is precisely controlled. As the air-fuel ratio depends on the precision of the air charge estimate, this thesis is devoted to the systematic improvement of the ...

Emissions from modern SI-engines are reduced by a three way catalyst. However if there are leaks in the exhaust system before the catalyst emissions increase for two reasons. First the untreated emissions leak out. Second which is worse, due to waves in the exhaust system, oxygen leaks into the manifold and causes an oxygen sensor offset. The result is increased emissions as the air/fuel contro...
