Fuel conversion efficiency is one of the main concerns in the field of internal combustion engine systems. Although the Otto cycle delivers the maximum efficiency possible in theory, the kinematics of the slider–crank mechanism of the conventional internal combustion engines makes it difficult to reach this level of efficiency in practice. This study proposes using the unique hypocycloid gear mechanism instead of the conventional slider–crank mechanism for the internal combustion engines to increase engine efficiency and minimize frictional power losses. The hypocycloid gear mechanism engine’s kinematics provides the means for the piston-rod assembly to reciprocate in a straight-line motion along the cylinder axis besides achieving a nonlinear rate of piston movement. As a result, this characteristic allows for a true constant-volume combustion, which in turn would lead to higher work output. An in-cylinder gas volume change model of the hypocycloid gear mechanism engine was developed and incorporated into the thermodynamic model for the internal combustion engine cycle. The thermodynamic model of the hypocycloid gear mechanism engine was developed and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software. A comparison between the conventional engine and the hypocycloid gear mechanism engine in terms of engine performance characteristics showed the enhancements achieved using hypocycloid gear mechanism for internal combustion engine applications. The hypocycloid gear mechanism engine analysis results indicated higher engine efficiency approaching that of the Otto cycle.

In order to simulate the combustion system work process for an internal combustion engine accurately,the paper simulates the combustion process which based on the modified 4JB1 engine and used the KIVA-3V software. Variables such as cylinder pressure, cylinder temperature, NOX and SOOT emission are predicted and analyzed by using single injection strategy.It was found that the production of NOX begins from the moderate burning period, reaches a peak quickly and keep constant. The production of SOOT is mainly in the late of fast burning period to the moderate burning period and most of the SOOT is oxidized.
