investigations are carried out to evaluate the performance of a low heat rejection (lhr) diesel engine consisting of air gap insulated piston with 3-mm air gap, with superni (an alloy of nickel) crown and air gap insulated liner with superni insert with different operating conditions of crude jatropha oil with varied injection timing and injection pressure.  performance parameters of brake ther...

  This paper presents a modeling study of a CNG Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine using single-zone and multi-zone combustion models. Authors' developed code could be able to predict engine combustion and performance parameters in closed part of the engine cycle. As detailed chemical kinetics is necessary to investigate combustion process in HCCI engines, therefore, GRI-m...

This work is carried out to investigate combustion characteristics of a dual fuel (diesel-gas) engine at part loads, using a quasi-dimensional multi zone combustion model (MZCM) for the combustion of diesel fuel and a single zone model with detailed chemical kinetics for the combustion of natural gas fuel. Chemical kinetic mechanisms consist of 184 reactions with 50 species. This combustion mod...

The dual-fuel diesel engine (D.F.D.E) is a conventional diesel engine in which much of the energy released, hence power, comes from the combustion of gaseous fuel such as natural gas. The exhaust emission characteristics of the D.F.D.E needs further refinements, particularly in terms of reduction of Unburnt Hydrocarbons (U7HC) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emission, because the concentration of thes...

the dual fuel engines at part loads inevitably suffer from lower thermal efficiency and higher carbon monoxide and unburned fuel emission. this work is carried out to investigate combustion characteristics of a dual fuel (dieselgas) engine at part loads, using a single zone combustion model with detailed chemical kinetics for combustion of natural gas fuel. the authors developed software in whi...

Subject of this work is a dynamic simulation model for PCCI combustion that can be used in closed-loop control development. A detailed multi-zone chemistry model for the high-pressure part of the engine cycle is extended by a mean value model accounting for the gas exchange losses. The resulting model is capable of describing PCCI combustion with stationary exactness. It is at the same time ver...

main purpose of current study is development of a new multi zone model for direct injection diesel engines. zone configuration is based on conical shape of spray. siebers’s correlation is used for spray cone angle calculation. experimental data are used for calculation of fuel inlet mass flow rate. fuel diffusion in different zones is calculated using fick’s law. a chemical kinetics mechanism c...
