Sloshing model tests have been performed to estimate the sloshing loads for design of LNG containment systems. The experiments have revealed that the sloshing phenomenon is highly stochastic and impact pressure varies significantly even for a simple harmonic excitation in one direction. It is important to select an appropriate sampling rate and duration to capture the true pressure peaks in order to obtain a reasonable statistical estimation. In this pursuit, experiments have been performed on a 2D model scale tank with sway motion for duration of 30 minutes at different sampling rates of 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 kHz. Comparison of statistical quantities like maximum pressure, rise time, decay time and impulse for various sampling frequencies are presented. Exceedence probability is also evaluated for each case and reported. The high sampling rate runs are down sampled to see the effect on the magnitude of the pressure peaks. Also the 30 minutes runs are split into a set of three 10 minute runs to see how the statistics change for each segment. The paper makes recommendations on required sampling rate and test duration for model scale to capture the various local effects such as breaking waves and spray, pronounced during the liquid sloshing impact.

Experiments were conducted in a vacuum tank in order to investigate the effect which entrained air has on impact loads which are produced when waves break upon a structure. In these experiments a flat plate was dropped onto a still water surface in an environment where the ambient pressure of the surrounding air could be controlled. Rings of varying height were fixed to the surface of the falling plate in order to trap different volumes of air between the falling plate and the water, Experimentally determined values were obtained of the maximum pressure pmax when the plate struck the water surface for various ring heights 6 and ambient pressures p0 in the vacuum tank. Experimental results indicate that the pressure rise or shock pressure Ps ~ (Pmax~Po) decreased with reductions in the ambient pressure and volume of entrapped air. Even when air was removed such that the absolute pressure in the tank was equal to the vapor pressure of the water, water hammer conditions, where the peak pressures depend upon the celerity of sound waves in the media, were never found to occur.

As a non-intrusive method for engine working condition detection, the engine surface vibration contains rich information about the combustion process and has great potential for the closed-loop control of engines. However, the measured engine surface vibration signals are usually induced by combustion as well as non-combustion excitations and are difficult to be utilized directly. To evaluate some combustion parameters from engine surface vibration, the tests were carried out on a single-cylinder diesel engine and a new method called Fourier Decomposition Method (FDM) was used to extract combustion induced vibration. Simulated and test results verified the ability of the FDM for engine vibration analysis. Based on the extracted vibration signals, the methods for identifying start of combustion, location of maximum pressure rise rate, and location of peak pressure were proposed. The cycle-by-cycle analysis of the results show that the parameters identified based on vibration and in-cylinder pressure have the similar trends, and it suggests that the proposed FDM-based methods can be used for extracting combustion induced vibrations and identifying the combustion parameters.

Ubiquitous trajectory data provides new opportunities for production and update of the road network. A number of methods have been proposed for road network construction and update based on trajectory data. However, existing methods were mainly focused on reconstruction of the existing road network, and the update of newly added roads was not given much attention. Besides, most of existing methods were designed for high sampling rate trajectory data, while the commonly available GPS trajectory data are usually low-quality data with noise, low sampling rates, and uneven spatial distributions. In this paper, we present an automatic method for detection and update of newly added roads based on the common low-quality trajectory data. First, additive changes (i.e., newly added roads) are detected using a point-to-segment matching algorithm. Then, the geometric structures of new roads are constructed based on a newly developed decomposition-combination map generation algorithm. Finally, the detected new roads are refined and combined with the original road network. Seven trajectory data were used to test the proposed method. Experiments show that the proposed method can successfully detect the additive changes and generate a road network which updates efficiently.

Gas Recirculation

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) sweeps were performed on ethanol partially premixed combustion (PPC) to show different emission and efficiency trends as compared with diesel PPC. The sweeps showed that when the EGR rate is increased, the efficiency does not diminish, HC trace is flat, and CO is low even with 45% of EGR. NOx exponentially decreases by increasing EGR while soot levels are nearly zero throughout the sweep. The EGR sweeps underlined that at high EGR levels, the pressure rise rate is a concern. To overcome this problem and keep high efficiency and low emissions, a sweep in the timing of the pilot injection and pilot-main ratio was done at ∼16.5 bars gross IMEP. It was found that with a pilot-main ratio of 50:50, and by placing the pilot at −60 with 42% of EGR, NOx and soot are below EURO VI levels; the indicated efficiency is 47% and the maximum pressure rise rate is below 10 bar/CAD. Low load conditions were examined as well. It was found that by placing the start of injection at −35 top dead center, the efficiency is maximized, on the other hand, when the injection is at −25, the emissions are minimized, and the efficiency is only 1.64% lower than its optimum value. The idle test also showed that a certain amount of EGR is needed in order to minimize the pressure rise rate.

The use of Jojoba Methyl Ester as a pilot fuel was investigated for almost the first time as a way to improve the performance of dual fuel engine running on natural gas or LPG at part load. The dual fuel engine used was Ricardo E6 variable compression diesel engine and it used either compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as the main fuel and Jojoba Methyl Ester as a pilot fuel. Diesel fuel was used as a reference fuel for the dual fuel engine results. During the experimental tests, the following have been measured: engine efficiency in terms of specific fuel consumption, brake power output, combustion noise in terms of maximum pressure rise rate and maximum pressure, exhaust emissions in terms of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, knocking limits in terms of maximum torque at onset of knocking, and cyclic data of 100 engine cycle in terms of maximum pressure and its pressure rise rate. The tests examined the following engine parameters: gaseous fuel type, engine speed and load, pilot fuel injection timing, pilot fuel mass and compression ratio. Results showed that using the Jojoba fuel with its improved properties has improved the dual fuel engine performance, reduced the combustion noise, extended knocking limits and reduced the cyclic variability of the combustion.

Abstract This study analyzes the combustion performance of a syngas-fueled homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine using a toroidal piston, square bowl, and flat piston shape, at low, medium, and high loads, with a constant compression ratio of 17.1. In this study, the square bowl shape is optimized by reducing the piston bowl depth and squish area ratio (squish area/cylinder cross-sectional area) from (34 to 20, 10, and 2.5) %, and compared with the flat piston shape and toroidal piston shape. This HCCI engine operates under an overly lean air–fuel mixture condition for power plant usage. ANSYS Forte CFD with GRI Mech3.0 chemical kinetics is used for combustion analysis, and the calculated results are validated by the experimental results. All simulations are accomplished at maximum brake torque (MBT) by altering the air–fuel mixture temperature at IVC with a constant equivalence ratio of 0.27. This study reveals that the main factors that affect the start of combustion , maximum pressure rise rate (MPRR), combustion efficiency, and thermal efficiency by changing the piston shape are the squish flow and reverse squish flow effects. Therefore, the square bowl piston D is the optimized piston shape that offers low MPRR and high combustion performance for the syngas-fueled HCCI engine, due to the weak squish flow and low heat loss rate through the combustion chamber wall, respectively, compared to the other piston shapes of square bowl piston A, B, and C, flat piston, and toroidal (baseline) piston shape.
