The spark advance determines the efficiency of spark-ignited (SI) engines by positioning the combustion in relation to the piston motion. Today’s spark-advance controllers are open-loop systems that measure parameters that effect the sparkadvance setting and compensate for their effects. Several parameters influence the best spark-advance setting but it would be too expensive to measure and acc...

In the Heat Engineering Chair of Poznan University of Technology, there have been investigations carried out for the last 10 years, of heat transfer processes on the wall of a single action internal combustion engine. Investigations of local heat transfer coefficients were carried out in different combustion conditions and the engine was propelled with a methanecarbon dioxide mixture (65% of CH...

A piston motion controller for a free-piston internal combustion engine is presented. To improve dynamic performance in the control of the piston motion and engine compression ratio, the controller response is determined from a prediction of engine top dead centre error rather than the measured value from the previous cycle. The proposed control approach showed superior performance compared wit...

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) is a promising internal combustion engine concept. It holds promise of combining low emission levels with high efficiency. However, as ignition timing in HCCI operation lacks direct actuation and is highly sensitive to operating conditions and disturbances, robust closed-loop control is necessary. To facilitate control design and allow for porting ...

in this paper, a numerical study is performed to provide the combustion and emission characteristics resulting from fuel-reactivity controlled compression ignition (rcci) combustion mode in a heavy-duty, single-cylinder diesel engine with gasoline and diesel fuels. in rcci strategy in-cylinder fuel blending is used to develop fuel reactivity gradients in the combustion chamber that result in a ...

It has been shown previously that applying forced induction to Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) of bioethanol with residual gas trapping, results in a greatly extended load range compared to normal aspiration. However at very high boost pressures, very high cylinder pressure rise rates develop. The approach documented here explores two ways that might have an effect on combustion ...

Combustion-related characteristic parameters, such as the start of combustion (SoC) and timing peak pressure increase rate (PIR), can be used feedback signals for closed-loop control combustion. A dynamic Finite Element Method (FEM) model was firstly developed to confirm closely related time period between vibration. On this basis, a fast processing method estimate timings SoC PIR in period. Th...

One of the most vital factors in combustion control is Air-to-Fuel Ratio (AFR) estimation and control. In this work a detailed mathematical, nonlinear and control oriented model of dynamic processes of turbocharged diesel engines is presented. This model has been developed using physical equations and also experimental data. Common Rail Injection (CRI) that is a flexible fuel injection system i...

In this study, the effect of second injection timing on the combustion and emissions characteristics of a direct injection HCCI gasoline engine was investigated by using ethanol and methanol blended gasoline fuel. For this aim, a diesel engine was converted to an electronically controlled HCCI gasoline engine. The injection timings and fuel quantity for each injection were adjusted to get desir...
