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...

Premature combustion that affects outputs, thermal efficiencies and lifetimes of internal combustion engine is called “knock effect”. However knock signal detection based on acoustic sensor is a challenging task due to existing of noise in the same frequency spectrum. Experimental results revealed that vibration signals, generated from knock, has certain frequencies related to vibration resonan...

running the industrial components at a proper temperature is always a big challenge for engineers. internal combustion engines are among these components in which temperature plays a big role in their performance and emissions. with the development of new technology in the fields of ‘nano-materials’ and ‘nano-fluids’, it seems very promising to use this technology as a coolant in the internal c...

in this paper a mathematical simulation of a simplified internal combustion engine is presented. to contribute engine kinematics and its geometry, simple relations are derived for constrained motions. the equation of motion for the piston forms a singular boundary value problem. the uniqueness of the solution was studied in the banach space. for solving governing equations an iterative numerica...

Ways to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions In order to comply with the increasingly tough emission standards worldwide, engine manufacturers are forced not only to substantially reduce emissions of particulate matter (PM), but also emissions of nitrogen oxides. The main approach pursued by MTU is low-emission combustion, in other words an internal engine solution. However, this means taking into a...

The combustion of straight vegetable oil (SVO) in internal combustion engines has shown conflicting results in emissions, power, and engine longevity. Many early studies suggested that SVO should not be considered for long term use in diesel engines. However, waste vegetable oil has been fueling adapted vehicles in progressive communities for years. The issues involved in the combustion of SVO ...

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...

This work presents the application of three different timefrequency methods to pressure and structure-borne sound signals to improve combustion diagnosis of internal combustion engines. Increasing engine efficiency and reduction of pollutants imply enhanced knowledge of the combustion process. The methods presented deepen the understanding of the measured signal and stimulate improved algorithm...
