The effects of variations in injection strategy and swirl on a DI Diesel engine performance and emissions were tested. The cylinder head was fitted with a small diameter endoscope, coupled with a triggered CCD camera, in order to study the effect of these variations on the combustion process. The images that were taken of the combustion process were used to calculate the spatial and temporal distribution of flame temperature and soot kks factor by using the 2-color method. The engine used in the experiments is a single cylinder version of a modern, passenger car type, common rail Diesel engine with a displacement of 480 cc. The fitted endoscope caused very little interference with the combustion chamber due to its small dimensions. The 65 degree angle view of the endoscope allowed coverage of a large portion of the entire combustion chamber. The combustion images and derived temperatures and soot concentrations were used to study the influence of post injection and high swirl. Adding a third (post) injection to the pilot and main injection increases the mixing and the flame temperature during the second half of the combustion process, thereby improving soot oxidation. The fuel efficiency was not negatively affected by the later phasing of part of the heat release. Increased swirl of the intake air was also studied. An 80% increase in swirl-ratio was achieved by closing off one of the two intake ports with a butterfly valve. The improved mixing gave significant reductions in soot emissions, with a small increase in NOx formation.

GT-Suite software is used to establish the simulation model of electronic fuel injection system for 16V280ZJ diesel engine. Combustion process simulation calculation is conducted to the direct injection (DI) diesel engine based on a main-post double injection scheme. Simulation parameters are modified based on the comparison with given experimental results. The calculation results effectively reflect the influence of fuel ratio and the interval angle between main and post injection over emission and fuel economy. Finally, in order to improve the engine emissions and reduce the pressure rise rate, we get the optimal injection solution for the main-post injection mode.

In order to obtain the foundation to the research on the Diesel Engine YN4100QB combustion process, exhaust, the optimal design of combustion chamber and the useful information for the design of exhaust muffler, the geometric model and mesh model of a type internal combustion engine are constructed by using FIRE software to analyze the working process of internal combustion engine. Exhaust noise is the main component of automobile noise in the study of controlling vehicle noise. It is primary to design a type of muffler which is good for agricultural automobile engine matching and noise reduction effect. The present car mufflers are all development means. So it is bound to cause the long cycle of product development and waste of resources. Even sometimes not only can it not reach the purpose of reducing the noise but also it leads to reduce the engine dynamic. The strength of the exhaust noise is closely related to engine combustion temperature and pressure. The calculation and initial parameters are applied to the software based on the combustion model and theory. According to the specific operation process of internal combustion engine. Five kinds of common operation condition was compiled. It is obtained for the detailed distribution parameters of combusted gas temperature pressure . It is also got for flow velocity of the fields in cylinder and given for the relation of the parameters and crankshaft angle for the further research. At the same time NOx emissions situation are got. The numerical results show that not only does it provide the 3D distribution data in different crank shaft angle inside the cylinder in the simulation of combustion process, but also it provides a basis for the engine combustion ,emission research, the optimization design of the combustion chamber and the useful information for the designs of muffler.

Flameless combustion (FC) is one of the most promising techniques of reducing harmful emissions from combustion systems. FC is a combustion phenomenon that takes place at low O2 concentration and high inlet reactant temperature. This unique combination results in a distributed combustion regime with a lower adiabatic flame temperature. The paper focuses on investigating the chemical kinetics of an prototype combustion chamber built at the university of Cincinnati with an aim of establishing flameless regime and demonstrating the applicability of FC to gas turbine engines. A Chemical reactor model (CRM) has been built for emulating the reactions within the combustor. The entire combustion chamber has been divided into appropriate number of Perfectly Stirred Reactors (PSRs) and Plug Flow Reactors (PFRs). The interconnections between these reactors and the residence times of these reactors are based on the PIV studies of the combustor flow field. The CRM model has then been used to predict the combustor emission profile for various equivalence ratios. The results obtained from CRM model show that the emission from the combustor are quite less at low equivalence ratios and have been found to be in reasonable agreement with experimental observations. The chemical kinetic analysis gives an insight on the role of vitiated combustion gases in suppressing the formation of pollutants within the combustion process.
