Development of Variable Intake System for Spark-Ignition Engine DEVELOPMENT OF VARIABLE INTAKE SYSTEM FOR SPARK-IGNITION ENGINE MUHAMMAD HAFIZUDDIN BIN SALIM Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Automotive Engineering Faculty of Mechanical Engineering UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA PAHANG JUNE 2012 vi ABSTRACT This project is to study about the development of variable intake manifold for spark- ignition engine. Variable intake manifold is one of the methods in optimizing the performance of an engine. Some of manufacture have great interest on this system such as Volkswagen and Volvo companies. Further research was held by those companies. Each of them has different in design in order to race in technology of engine optimizing. This experiment was conducted by using flow bench that test on the flow rate of the new design intake manifold that has been fabricated. The test is on the intake manifold that is used by the 1600cc engine. Two intake manifolds were tested in this experiment, the Proton Waja intake manifold and the custom intake manifold that has been fabricated. The result found that the length of runner does affect the flow rate that produced by the intake manifold. The long runner will give better flow rate on the earlier phase of engine speed while the shorter runner will give better flow rate on the top end of engine speed. That is the reason why the variable intake manifold is better intake manifold compared to the standard intake manifold because it can be switch for the suitable length of runner depends on the engine speed condition. vii ABSTRAK Projek ini merupakan kajian mengenai pembuatan “Variable Intake Manifold” untuk enjin yang mengunakan sistem penyalaan pencucuh. “Variable Intake Manifold” merupakan salah satu kaedah dalam mengoptimumkan prestasi enjin. Beberapa syarikat pembuatan sangat berminat ke atas teknologi ini seperti syarikat Volkswagen dan Volvo. Mereka banyak melanjutkan kajian terhadap teknologi ini. Setiap pembuatan yang dilakukan sering berbeza dari segi reka bentuk didalam perlumbaan teknologi mengoptimumkan enjin ini. Ekseperimen in dilakukan dengan menggunakan bangku aliran bagi mengetahui kadar aliran yang terhasil daripada “intake manifold” itu tadi. Ujian yang dilakukan adalah berdasarkan enjin berkapasiti 1600cc. Dua “intake manifold” yang di uji di dalam eksperimen ini iaitu bagi penggunaan Proton Waja dan juga “intake manifold” yang telah di buat. Hasilnya didapati bahawa panjang pelari sememangnya mempengaruhi kadar aliran yang dihasilkan oleh “intake manifold”. Pelari yang panjang akan memberikan kadar aliran yang lebih baik pada fasa awal kelajuan enjin manakala pelari yang pendek akan memberikan kadar aliran yang lebih baik di hujung fasa kelajuan enjin. Disebabkan itu “Variable Intake Manifold” lebih baik berbanding “intake manifold” biasa kerana ia boleh mengubah laluan aliran mengikut kesesuaian kelajuan enjin. viii TABLE OF CONTENT ITEMS PAGE

  • Cyclone 3.5 L Ecoboost, 3.5 Duratech and 3.7 L Ti-VCT V6 Engine
    Cyclone 3.5L EcoBoost, 3.5 Duratech and 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 Engine Tech All 3 variants use the same forged crankshaft with 3.413” stroke. The difference is the bore, 3.64” for the 3.5/EcoBoost and 3.76” for the 3.7L version. The blocks are cast aluminum with floating cylinder walls and cast iron liners. They ap- pear to use the same block but we have not confirmed this yet. We’re interested to learn if the blocks use the same bell- housing pattern or are interchangeable between FWD, AWD and RWD applications. That was not the case with the 3.8 which used different FWD and RWD versions with the main difference being the bellhousing bolt patterns. Seems that just about all of the parts now use a QR symbol. All use the same powder metal connecting rod which includes a bushing on the pin end for a floating pin. The rod is shot peened for improved fatigue strength, has a decent cross-section and uses cap screws instead of through bolts. The rod shown on the left is a 96-04 3.8/4.2 powder metal rod, the Cyclone rod in the center and one of our favorite 351W forged I-beam rods on the right. Notice how the cross section of the Cyclone rod appears to be more like the 351W I-beam than the 3.8/4.2 rod which was much to weak for high perfor- mance applications. Only time, boost and nitrous will determine the durability and strength of the Cyclone rod, but since the EcoBoost engine has already been proven to provide exceptional durability in the 365-400 HP range with Ford’s factory tuning expertise, we can expect adequate durability at power levels around 500 HP or so with upper rev limits at 6500-7000 or so as long as the tuning is on the money without detonation.

    Model-Based Control Development for an Advanced Thermal Management System for Automotive Powertrains A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kyle Ian Merical, Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering The Ohio State University 2013 Master's Examination Committee: Professor Marcello Canova, Advisor Professor Giorgio Rizzoni, Committee Member Professor Shawn Midlam-Mohler, Committee Member c Copyright by Kyle Ian Merical 2013 Abstract Rising fuel prices and tightening vehicle emission regulations have led to a large demand for fuel efficient passenger vehicles. Among several design improvements and technical solutions, advanced Thermal Management Systems (TMS) have been recently developed to more efficiently manage the thermal loads produced by internal combustion engines and thereby reduce fuel consumption. Advanced TMS include complex networks of coolant, oil and transmission fluid lines, heat exchangers, recuperators, variable speed pumps and fans, as well as active fluid flow control devices that allows for a greatly improved freedom to manage the heat rejection and thermal management of the engine and transmission components. This control authority can be exploited, for instance, to rapidly warm the powertrain fluids during vehicle cold-starts, and then maintain them at elevated temperatures. Increasing the temperatures of the engine oil and transmission fluid decreases their viscosity, ultimately leading to a reduction of the engine and transmission frictional losses, and improved fuel economy. On the other hand, robust and accurate TMS controllers must be developed in order to take full advantage of the additional degrees of freedom provided by the available actuators and system hardware configuration.

  • Study on Valve Strategy of Variable Cylinder Deactivation Based on Electromagnetic Intake Valve Train
    applied sciences Article Study on Valve Strategy of Variable Cylinder Deactivation Based on Electromagnetic Intake Valve Train Maoyang Hu, Siqin Chang *, Yaxuan Xu and Liang Liu School of Mechanical Engineering, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210094, China; [email protected] (M.H.); [email protected] (Y.X.); [email protected] (L.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-025-84315451 Received: 1 September 2018; Accepted: 28 October 2018; Published: 31 October 2018 Abstract: The camless electromagnetic valve train (EMVT), as a fully flexible variable valve train, has enormous potential for improving engine performances. In this paper, a new valve strategy based on the electromagnetic intake valve train (EMIV) is proposed to achieve variable cylinder deactivation (VCD) on a four-cylinder gasoline engine. The 1D engine model was constructed in GT-Power according to test data. In order to analyze the VCD operation with the proposed valve strategy, the 1D model was validated using a 3D code. The effects of the proposed valve strategy were investigated from the perspective of energy loss of the transition period, the mass fraction of oxygen in the exhaust pipe, and the minimum in-cylinder pressure of the active cycle. On the premise of avoiding high exhaust oxygen and oil suction, the intake valve timing can be determined with the variation features of energy losses. It was found that at 1200 and 1600 rpm, fuel economy was improved by 12.5–16.6% and 9.7–14.6%, respectively, under VCD in conjunction with the early intake valve closing (EIVC) strategy when the brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) ranged from 0.3 MPa to 0.2 MPa.
