in order to comply with stringent pollutant emissions regulations, a detailed analysis of the engine combustion and emission is required. in this field, computational tools like cfd and engine cycle simulation play a fundamental role. therefore, the goal of the present work is to simulate a high speed di diesel engine and study the combustion and major diesel engine emissions with more details,...

the preparation of air–fuel mixture is considerably dependent on fluid flow dynamics to achieve improved performance, efficiency, and engine combustion in the appearance of flow. in this study, the effects of mixtures of hydrogen and compressed natural gas (cng) on a spark ignition engine are numerically considered. this article presents the results of a direct-injection engine using methane–hy...

Two fundamental (and oftentimes opposing) metaphors have directed much of HCI design: HCI is communication and HCI is direct manipulation. Beneath these HCI metaphors, however, is the unspoken metaphor of computer is woman. In this paper we expose this foundational metaphor. We begin by identifying the origin of computer is woman in the early history of computing. Drawing upon postmodern femini...

The ability to program recombinant gene expression in cardiac myocytes in vivo holds promise for the treatment of many inherited and acquired cardiovascular diseases. In this report, we demonstrate that a recombinant P-galactosidase gene under the control of the Rous sarcoma virus promoter can be introduced into and expressed in adult rat cardiac myocytes in vivo by the injection of purified pl...

The build-up of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere has caused concern about possible global climate change. As a result, international negotiations have produced the Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC), completed during the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. The treaty, which the United States has ratified, calls for the “stabilization of green...

this study presents a computational study of mixture formation, flame front movement, combustion process and emission formation at the various spray angles and number holes in a direct injection diesel engine. this work is carried out in a direct injection om355 diesel engine at four and five holes with 130
, 135
and 140
spray angles. the amount of fuel injected per cycle is constant at all s...
