PPC emerged from the knowledge gained from homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) research. To extend the load range and thus reduce cylinder pressure rise rates, the fuel is directly injected during the compression stroke, instead of in the intake port as is common with HCCI. In contrast to conventional diesel combustion, there is a separation between the fuel injection event and the start of combustion in PPC. Furthermore, the PPC concept relies on a high degree of dilution with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and air. This dilution and premixedness lead to a lower global temperature, which reduces NOx emissions and wall heat transfer which therefore results in a high thermodynamic efficiency. However, a high level of dilution reduces the exhaust temperature and thus leads to a lower gas exchange efficiency because the turbine needs to compensate by generating a higher exhaust back pressure. This thesis therefore focuses on expanding the system boundary of PPC, to facilitate a commercial application. This has been conducted in several studies which targeted the brake efficiency, instead of the gross. The work was conducted with a combination of engine modeling and simulations. Moreover, the in-cylinder combustion was taken from experimental measurements or predicted using a stochastic reactor model. The first part of the work investigated the influence of dilution on the gas exchange performance. The gas exchange efficiency was seen to decrease exponentially at high levels of dilution. In addition, a low inlet temperature led to an increase in both brake and gross efficiencies. Furthermore, an evaluation of turbocharger configurations revealed that, although a two- stage turbocharger only negligibly increased the brake efficiency, it enabled a substantially higher engine load than the two single-stage turbochargers. Finally, the gas exchange efficiency was increased with %pt. by using a combined low and high-pressure EGR system. The second part focused on optimizing the engine boundary conditions, choice of fuels, and injection strategy. The results showed that by using methanol, an increase inbrake efficiency of . %pt. was possible compared to gasoline. The reason was a higher gross efficiency which resulted DOKUMENTDATABLAD enl SIS 61 41 21 from an improved compromise between combustion duration, heat transfer, and NOx emissions, as well as lower compression work and favorable ratio of specific heats. Increasing the engine’s compression ratio, facilitated a lower inlet temperature with methanol and this led to a . %pt. further increase in brake efficiency.

The currently produced cylinder deactivation engines utilize fixed-type cylinder deactivation in which only a fixed number of cylinders are deactivated. As fixed-type cylinder deactivation has some shortcomings, variable-type cylinder deactivation with no limit on the number of deactivated cylinders is under research. For variable-type cylinder deactivation, control is more complicated and production cost is higher than fixed-type cylinder deactivation. Therefore, it is necessary to select the cylinder deactivation control method considering both advantages and disadvantages of the two control methods. In this study, a fuel economy prediction simulation model was created using the measurement data of various vehicles with engine displacements of 1.0–5.0 L. The fuel economy improvement of fixed-type cylinder deactivation was compared with that of variable-type cylinder deactivation using the created simulation.

  • Flow Testing and Evaluation
    About MAX BMW Motorcycles Machine Shop Articles: 2017 brings MAX BMW's Machine Shop to full operational status and a series of articles on our individual machines and operational practices. In this series, we highlight some of the specific equipment, tools and jigs we have developed to come to the exacting standards of ultimate quality, attention to detail, accurate measurements and swift turnaround of customer jobs. ARTICLE 3 April 21, 2017 Flow Testing and Evaluation In this article, we are going to start looking at a few performance services that are available at MAX BMW. Specifically, we’ll look at an overview of cylinder head performance through flow testing and evaluation. With any machine shop work, the proper tools are essential when exacting results and a high standard of quality are required. One of those tools is our Super Flow SF600 cylinder head flow bench. 2 When building an engine where more power is desired, everything in the engine must be considered to be working together as a package. The starting point for any project is always understanding its intended use. Are you building a stock engine, a high horse power street bike or perhaps a track-only bike that sees sustained high rpms and loads? Once this is determined, the details to achieve these goals fall into place. Specifically, engine displacement, cam selection, cylinder head improvements such as valve size and material, valve seat machining and port design are all areas that can be modified and tuned for performance improvements. Even though there have been volumes written on air flow theory and port design, this will be a brief overview to help understand how it can all be measured, modified and tested to prove effective results.

Metering the fuel requires measuring the airflow and measuring the airflow introduces the venturi. Metering the fuel flow introduces boosters. The high flow velocity requirement constrains the size of the air passages. These obstructions cause a pressure drop, a necessary consequence of proper carburetor function. Carburetors are sized by airflow, airflow at 5% pressure drop for four-barrels, 10% for two-barrels. This means that the price for a properly sized four-barrel is a 5% pressure loss and a corresponding 5% horsepower loss. The important thing to remember is that carburetors are sized to provide balanced performance across the entire driving range, not just peak horsepower. When designing low and mid range metering, the carburetor engineers assume airflow conditions for a properly As with everything in the engine, airflow is power. sized carburetor - one sized for 5% loss at the power peak.

The engine is to have a rated power of 100 KW at 4200 rpm. Solution: The engine has to be designed for a passenger car run by diesel fuel This is a C.I engine based Passenger Car Given Data: Rated Power = 100 KW Rated Speed = 4200 rpm The above Rated Speed suits a diesel passenger car engine for the following reasons: Consider the equation for Newton’s Second Law of Motion for a reciprocating piston . F = m*a Reason 1 Lean Operation of CI engines. A/F = 18 - 70 1. For pollution control the CI engines are operated lean. 2. So CI engines have larger displacement volume as compared to SI engines for same power. 3. Larger displacement volume will make the geometrical size and therefore the mass of the piston for CI engine larger. 4. Assuming that the force F acting on the piston is same for both the SI and CI engines. 5. Since the term mass m of the piston on the right hand side of the Newton’s second law of motion has a higher value for CI engines, so the second term acceleration, a should be brought down. 6. So the crankshaft rotational speed N is decreased. 1 Note : Inertia is associated with mass only.

  • Jennings: Two-Stroke Tuner's Handbook
    Two-Stroke TUNER’S HANDBOOK By Gordon Jennings Illustrations by the author Copyright © 1973 by Gordon Jennings Compiled for reprint © 2007 by Ken i PREFACE Many years have passed since Gordon Jennings first published this manual. Its 2007 and although there have been huge technological changes the basics are still the basics. There is a huge interest in vintage snowmobiles and their “simple” two stroke power plants of yesteryear. There is a wealth of knowledge contained in this manual. Let’s journey back to 1973 and read the book that was the two stroke bible of that era. Decades have passed since I hung around with John and Jim. John and I worked for the same corporation and I found a 500 triple Kawasaki for him at a reasonable price. He converted it into a drag bike, modified the engine completely and added mikuni carbs and tuned pipes. John borrowed Jim’s copy of the ‘Two Stoke Tuner’s Handbook” and used it and tips from “Fast by Gast” to create one fast bike. John kept his 500 until he retired and moved to the coast in 2005. The whereabouts of Wild Jim, his 750 Kawasaki drag bike and the only copy of ‘Two Stoke Tuner’s Handbook” that I have ever seen is a complete mystery. I recently acquired a 1980 Polaris TXL and am digging into the inner workings of the engine. I wanted a copy of this manual but wasn’t willing to wait for a copy to show up on EBay. Happily, a search of the internet finally hit on a Word version of the manual.

    Fast response surrogates and sensitivity analysis based on physico-chemical engine simulation applied to modern compression ignition engines Owen Parry, Julian Dizy, Vivian Page, Amit Bhave, David Ooi Abstract Virtual engineering that combines physico-chemical models with advanced statistical techniques offers a robust and cost-effective methodology for model-based IC engine calibration and development. The probability density function (PDF)-based Stochastic Reactor Model (SRM) Engine Suite is applied to simulate a modern diesel fuelled com- pression ignition engine. The SRM Engine Suite is coupled with the Model Develop- ment Suite (MoDS) to perform parameter estimation based on the engine measure- ments data at representative load-speed operating points. The fidelity of the SRM En- gine Suite is further tested by carrying out blind tests against measurements for com- bustion characteristics (heat release rate, in-cylinder pressure profile, etc.). The com- parison between the calculated (software evaluated) and the measured combustion characteristics shows good agreement. Furthermore, the model evaluations for en- gine-out soot and NOx emissions agree relatively well with those measured over the entire engine load-speed operating window. Fast response computational surrogates are generated using High Dimensional Model Representation (HDMR), the perfor- mance of which are then compared with the validated SRM Engine Suite. The associ- ated global sensitivities are also evaluated to understand the influence of the engine operating conditions and the model parameters on combustion metrics such as ignition delay, maximum heat release rate, maximum pressure rise rate and peak in-cylinder pressure. The benefits of the proposed methodology, comprising formulation of phys- ico-chemical model-based surrogates and its application to software-in-loop (S-i-L) and control in compression ignition engines, are also discussed.
