Internal Combustion Engine Internal combustion engine “ICEV” redirects here. For the form of water ice, see Ice more familiar four-stroke and two-stroke piston engines, V. For the high speed train, see ICE V. along with variants, such as the six-stroke piston engine An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a heat engine and the Wankel rotary engine. A second class of internal combustion engines use continuous combustion: gas tur- bines, jet engines and most rocket engines, each of which are internal combustion engines on the same principle as previously described.[1][2] Firearms are also a form of in- ternal combustion engine.[2] Internal combustion engines are quite different from external combustion engines, such as steam or Stirling engines, in which the energy is delivered to a working fluid not consisting of, mixed with, or contaminated by combustion products. Working fluids can be air, hot wa- ter, pressurized water or even liquid sodium, heated in a boiler. ICEs are usually powered by energy-dense fuels such as gasoline or diesel, liquids derived from fossil fu- els. While there are many stationary applications, most ICEs are used in mobile applications and are the domi- nant power supply for vehicles such as cars, aircraft, and boats. Typically an ICE is fed with fossil fuels like natural gas or petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuel or fuel oil. There’s a growing usage of renewable fuels like biodiesel for compression ignition engines and bioethanol Diagram of a cylinder as found in 4-stroke gasoline engines.: or methanol for spark ignition engines.

  • Combustion Characteristics of a Spark-Ignited Split-Cycle Engine Fuelled with Methane
    Article citation info: CAMERON I., SOBIESIAK A. Combustion characteristics of a spark-ignited split-cycle engine fuelled with methane. Combustion Engines. 2015, 161(2), 33-41. ISSN 2300-9896. Iain CAMERON PTNSS-2015-204 Andrzej SOBIESIAK Combustion characteristics of a spark-ignited split-cycle engine fuelled with methane This paper begins with a brief introduction to the operating principles of a split-cycle engine that utilizes a valved, intermediary volume to connect the two engine cylinders. Results from experimental testing of the engine fueled with pure methane are presented with a particular emphasis on the combustion duration and phasing. Two different methods of analysing the combustion duration – the mass fraction burn (MFB) and normalized pressure ratio (PRN) – are given. Testing was performed at wide open throttle (WOT) for engine speeds ranging from 850–1200 rpm, and air-fuel equiva- lence ratios from 0.8–1.0. The results indicate that the main combustion duration is very rapid for all conditions tested, despite late combustion phasing. Changes in spark timing were shown to have a considerable impact on IMEP but did not greatly effect the burn duration. Cyclic variability of IMEP was found to be less than 4% for all cases, except when operation was leaner than ø = 0.85, indicating good combustion stability.

  • The Split Cycle Engine and Its Impact on the Vehicle Cooling System
    The split cycle engine and its impact on the vehicle cooling system R E Morgan, G Dong, and M R Heikal Centre for Automotive Engineering, University of Brighton Abstract The split cycle engine represents a radical departure from conventional internal combustion engines. In the split cycle engine, the compression and combustion processes occur in different cylinders, enabling extreme charge air cooling, intra cylinder waste heat recovery and independent optimisation of the compression and combustion chambers. Combining these benefits, thermal efficiencies of over 50% and approaching 60% in some applications are theoretically possible. The split cycle engine is of particular interest in commercial vehicle applications where load factors are high and savings in fuel consumption of major economic benefit to end users. The energy balance of the split cycle engine is markedly different to conventional engines with significantly more energy being rejected through charge air cooling but correspondingly less through the engine cooling system. How the charge air is cooled will affect how thermal energy is rejected to the environment and the consequential impact on the vehicle cooling system. In this paper, the split cycle engine will be described and the energy balance compared with a conventional heavy duty diesel engines. Methods of charge air cooling; through multi stage compression with intercooling, direct cooling with a water spray and by the injection of a cryogenic liquid spray will be discussed. The overall energy balance, impact on powertrain efficiency and heat exchanger sizing for the water spray cooling case is compared with a comparable diesel engine. Finally, the consequences of the split cycle on component thermal loading will be discussed and strategies for controlling critical component temperatures described.

  • Introduction to a New Approach for Producing Power Using Neodymium Magnet
    2nd International Seminar On “Utilization of Non-Conventional Energy Sources for Sustainable Development of Rural Areas ISNCESR’16 17th & 18th March 2016 Introduction to a New Approach for Producing Power using Neodymium Magnet Kinshuk Maitra1, Ankur Malviya2 1M.Tech Scholar, Christian College of Enginneering and Technology Bhilai Chhattisgarh [email protected] 2Assistant Professor, Christian College of Enginneering and Technology Bhilai Chhattisgarh [email protected] Abstract: These Automobiles are well accepted and widely used for the means of transportation. The major applications are in the vehicle, railroad, marine, aircraft, home use and stationary areas. For many years, internal combustion engine research was aimed at improving thermal efficiency and reducing noise and vibration. As a consequence, the thermal efficiency has increased from about 10% to values as high as 50%. Since 1970, with recognition of the importance of air quality, there has also been a great deal of work devoted to reducing emissions from engines. Currently, emission control requirements are one of the major factors in the design and operation of internal combustion engines. The objective of the present work is to use magnets attraction and repulsion energy in comparison to the fossil fuels. Electromagnets do possess huge amount of power but subjected to electrical power source which restricts its mobility. Therefore, in order to attain mobility which adds colour to any power delivering source can be used in many places say in automobiles, in villages where electricity is still not available can be used for irrigation purposes, etc. Therefore, magnets will be non- polluting and time to time refilling of the fuel from now onwards will not be necessary.
