Haritos Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Iqbal Husain Dr. George R. Newkome Date ii ABSTRACT The efficiencies of a four cylinder direct injection diesel engine have been investigated for the implementation in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The engine was cycled through various operating points depending on the power and torque requirements for the HEV. The selected engine for the HEV is a 2005 Volkswagen 1.9L diesel engine. The 2005 Volkswagen 1.9L diesel engine was tested to develop the steady-state engine efficiencies and to evaluate the transient effects on these efficiencies. The peak torque and power curves were developed using a water brake dynamometer. Once these curves were obtained steady-state testing at various engine speeds and powers was conducted to determine engine efficiencies. Transient operation of the engine was also explored using partial throttle and variable throttle testing. The transient efficiency was compared to the steady-state efficiencies and showed a decrease from the steady- state values.

  • Performance Analysis of a Diesel Cycle Under the Restriction of Maximum Cycle Temperature with Considerations of Heat Loss, Friction, and Variable Specific Heats S.S
    Vol. 120 (2011) ACTA PHYSICA POLONICA A No. 6 Performance Analysis of a Diesel Cycle under the Restriction of Maximum Cycle Temperature with Considerations of Heat Loss, Friction, and Variable Specific Heats S.S. Houa;¤ and J.C. Linb aDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Kun Shan University, Tainan City 71003, Taiwan, ROC bDepartment of General Education, Transworld University, Touliu City, Yunlin County 640, Taiwan, ROC (Received November 11, 2010) The objective of this study is to examine the influences of heat loss characterized by a percentage of fuel’s energy, friction and variable specific heats of working fluid on the performance of an air standard Diesel cycle with the restriction of maximum cycle temperature. A more realistic and precise relationship between the fuel’s chemical energy and the heat leakage that is constituted on a pair of inequalities is derived through the resulting temperature. The variations in power output and thermal efficiency with compression ratio, and the relations between the power output and the thermal efficiency of the cycle are presented. The results show that the power output as well as the efficiency where maximum power output occurs will increase with the increase of maximum cycle temperature. The temperature-dependent specific heats of working fluid have a significant influence on the performance. The power output and the working range of the cycle increase while the efficiency decreases with increasing specific heats of working fluid. The friction loss has a negative effect on the performance. Therefore, the power output and efficiency of the cycle decrease with increasing friction loss. It is noteworthy that the effects of heat loss characterized by a percentage of fuel’s energy, friction and variable specific heats of working fluid on the performance of a Diesel-cycle engine are significant and should be considered in practice cycle analysis.

  • Air Standard Assumptions Some Definitions for Reciprocation Engines
    Air Standard Assumptions In power engines, energy is provided by burning fuel within the system boundaries, i.e., internal combustion engines. The following assumptions are commonly known as the air- standard assumptions: 1- The working fluid is air, which continuously circulates in a closed loop (cycle). Air is considered as ideal gas. 2- All the processes in (ideal) power cycles are internally reversible. 3- Combustion process is modeled by a heat-addition process from an external source. 4- The exhaust process is modeled by a heat-rejection process that restores the working fluid (air) at its initial state. Assuming constant specific heats, (@25°C) for air, is called cold-air-standard assumption. Some Definitions for Reciprocation Engines: The reciprocation engine is one the most common machines that is being used in a wide variety of applications from automobiles to aircrafts to ships, etc. Intake Exhaust valve valve TDC Bore Stroke BDC Fig. 3-1: Reciprocation engine. Top dead center (TDC): The position of the piston when it forms the smallest volume in the cylinder.

  • Thermodynamic Data
    ..................................APPENDIX A Thermodynamic data A.l Introduction The thermodynamic tables presented here for enthalpy and internal energy differ from those that are usually available, since they incorporate the enthalpy of formation. This means that there is no need for separate tabulations of calorific values, and it will be found that energy balances for combustion calculations are greatly simplified. The enthalpy of formation (t-.Hf) is perhaps more familiar to physical chemists than to engineers. The enthalpy of formation ( t-.Hf) of a substance is the standard reaction enthalpy for the formation of the compound from its elements in their reference state. The reference state of an element is its most stable state (for example, carbon atoms, but oxygen molecules) at a specified temperature and pressure, usually 298.15 K and a pressure of l bar. In the case of atoms that can exist in different forms, it is necessary to specify their form, for example, carbon is as graphite, not diamond. Combustion calculations are most readily undertaken by using absolute (some­ times known as sensible) internal energies or enthalpy. In steady-flow systems where there is displacement work then enthalpy should be used; this has been illustrated by figure 3.8. When there is no displacement work then internal energy should be used (figure 3.7). Consider now figure 3.8 in more detail. With an adiabatic combustion process from reactants (R) to products (P) the enthalpy is constant, but there is a substantial rise in temperature: (A.l) In the case of the isothermal combustion process (IR ~ IP) the temperature (T) is obviously constant, and the difference in enthalpy corresponds to the isobaric calorific value (-t-.Jfi,): t-.H~ = HR .T- HP,T (A.2) 582 Thermodynamic data A.2 Thermodynamic principles In the following sections, it will be seen how the thermodynamic data for internal energy, enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs function can all be determined from measurements of heat capacity and phase change enthalpies (or internal energies).

Diesel Electric Power Plant: Working Principle, Layout, Performance and Thermal Efficiency, Combined Cycle Power Plant, Layout, Efficiency. Internal Combustion Engine and External Combustion Engine In an external combustion engine, the fuel isn't burned inside the engine. With an internal combustion engine, the combustion chamber lies right in the middle of the engine. An Internal combustion engines rely on the explosive power of the fuel within the engine to produce work. In internal combustion engines, the explosion forcefully pushes pistons or expels hot high-pressure gas out of the engine at great speeds. Both moving pistons and ejected high- speed gas have the ability to do work. In external combustion engines, combustion heats a fluid which, in turn, does all the work. Example: Atkinson, Brayton/Joule, Diesel, Otto, Gas Generator etc. An external combustion engine uses a working fluid, either a liquid or a gas or both, that is heated by a fuel burned outside the engine. The external combustion chamber is filled with a fuel and air mixture that is ignited to produce a large amount of heat. This heat is then used to heat the internal working fluid either through the engine wall or a heat exchanger. The fluid expands when heated, acting on the mechanism of the engine, thus producing motion and usable work.

During these years and in particular the last decade, the environmental as- pects of IC engines have become a major political and research topic. Follow- ing this interest, the emissions of pollutants such as NOx, CO2 and unburned hydrocarbons (UHC) from IC engines have been reduced considerably. Yet, there is still a clear need and possibility to improve engine efficiency while further reducing emissions of pollutants. The maximum efficiency of IC engines used in passenger cars is no more than 40% and considerably less than that under part load conditions. One way to improve engine efficiency is to utilize the energy of the exhaust gases to turbocharge the engine. While turbocharging is by no means a new concept, its design and integration into the gas exchange system has been of low priority in the power train design process. One expects that the rapidly increasing interest in efficient passenger car engines would mean that the use of turbo technology will become more widespread.
