Gas Exchange Process

In the quest for reaching ever higher power density of IC engines a much simpler solution has been investigated that allows vehicles to reach a comparable power level with cars equipped with turbo charged engines. The new Swinging Valve (SwV) arrangement enables the unhindered gas exchange process through an engine. In this experiment a flow bench was used to examine a normal poppet valve cylinder head and a cylinder head constructed for the same engine but with Swinging Valves. The flow parameters of the original cylinder head were obtained then the SwV head was investigated in the same way. To examine the practical use of a SwV system a 0D/1D engine simulation had been created, first using the engine with conventional cylinder head. That model had been validated with dynamometer tests. After this stage the results of the Swinging Valve flow measurements were fed in the same 0D/1D engine simulation then the results were compared and examined.

Heat Addition

A classical thermodynamic model for spark-ignited internal combustion engine simulation in which the heat addition process that takes a finite amount of time to complete is presented along with an illustrative parameter sensibility case study. The model accounts for all air-standard Otto cycle parameters, as well as crank-connecting rod mechanism, ignition timing, engine operating speed, and cumulative heat release history parameters. The model is particularly suitable for engineering undergraduate education, as it preserves most of the air-standard assumptions, while being able to reproduce real engine traits, such as the decay of maximum pressure, power, and thermal efficiency at higher engine operating speeds. In terms of complexity, the resulting finite-time heat addition Otto cycle sits between the classical air-standard Otto cycle and the more involved air–fuel Otto cycle, that are usually introduced on more advanced mechanical engineering courses, and allows students to perform engine parameter sensibility studies using only classical, single phase, pure substance, undergraduate engineering thermodynamics.

Efficient Alternative

Using poppet valves to control the air-fuel mixture entering and leaving the combustion chamber of an engine is just one among many other more flow efficient alternative solution. The geometry of the poppet valve and its valve seat are the main causes of the flow restriction in the internal combustion engines. The engine downsizing concept dictates to obtain more power from a given engine volume, therefore proportionally more air should be drawn into the cylinders to burn more fuel. These criteria best fulfilled with a new Swinging Valve (SwV) solution that enables the unhindered flow of air and exhaust gas through an engine’s cylinder. The filling of a cylinder is improved while the pumping losses are decreased. In this experiment, a Super Flow SF600 flow bench was used to examine a Suzuki SV650 motorcycle engine’s normal poppet valve cylinder head and a Swinging Valve cylinder head was constructed as well. First the flow parameters of the original cylinder head were obtained then the Swinging Valve head was investigated in the same way. The outcomes of the tests show the superiority of the new concept. The results will also be the base of further 0D/1D engine simulations.

In this article an algorithm is developed to solve the equations for one-dimensional unsteady flow of compressible fluids in the presence of area change, wall friction, heat transfer, and entropy gradients. The algorithm is based on a rectangular mesh solution of the cor responding characteristics equations in the space-time plane. It is arranged in a generalized form to permit convenient application to a variety of engineering systems. A model of the gas exchange process occurring in a two-stroke internal combustion engine with intake and exhaust ducts is used to demonstrate application of the algorithm and to observe the accuracy and stability of solutions with varying mesh-step size.

Bottom Dead Center

The H2 internal combustion engine (ICE) is a key technology for complete decarbonization of the transport sector. To match or exceed the power density of conventional combustion engines, H2 direct injection (DI) is essential. Therefore, new injector concepts that meet the requirements of a H2 operation have to be developed. The macroscopic free stream behavior of H2 released from an innovative fluidic oscillating nozzle is investigated and compared with that of a conventional multi-hole nozzle. This work consists of H2 flow measurements and injection tests in a constant volume chamber using the Schlieren method and is accompanied by a LES simulation. The results show that an oscillating H2 free stream has a higher penetration velocity than the individual jets of a multi-hole nozzle. This behavior can be used to inject H2 far into the combustion chamber in the vertical direction while the piston is still near bottom dead center. As soon as the oscillation of the H2 free stream starts, the spray angle increases and therefore H2 is also distributed in the horizontal direction. In this phase of the injection process, spray angles comparable to those of a multi-hole nozzle are achieved. This behavior has a positive effect on H2 homogenization, which is desirable for the combustion process.

Scavenging Efficiency

The scavenging process of two stroke engine includes free exhaust, scavenging, and post intake process, which clears the burned gas in cylinder and suctions the fresh air for next cycle. The gas exchange process of Opposed-Piston Two-Stroke (OP2S) engine with gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine is a uniflow scavenging method between intake port and exhaust port. In order to investigate the characteristics of the gas exchange process in OP2S-GDI engine, a specific tracer gas method (TGM) was developed and the experiments were carried out to analyze the gas exchange performance under different intake and exhaust conditions and opposed-piston movement rule. The results show that gas exchange performance and trapped gas mass are significantly influenced by intake pressure and exhaust pressure. And it has a positive effect on the scavenging efficiency and the trapped air mass. Scavenging efficiency and trapped air mass are almost independent of pressure drop when the delivery ratio exceeds 1.4. Consequently, the delivery ratio ranges from 0.5 to 1.4 is chosen to achieve an optimization of steady running and minimum pump loss. The opposed piston motion phase difference only affects the scavenging timing. Scavenging performance is mainly influenced by scavenging timing and scavenging duration. With the increased phase difference of piston motion, the scavenging efficiency and delivery ratio increased gradually, the trapping efficiency would increase first and decrease then and reaches its maximum at 14°CA.

Blended Fuels

Air pollution, especially in large cities around the world, is associated with serious problems both with people’s health and the environment. Over the past few years, there has been a particularly intensive demand for alternatives to fossil fuels, because when they are burned, substances that pollute the environment are released. In addition to the smoke from fuels burned for heating and harmful emissions that industrial installations release, the exhaust emissions of vehicles create a large share of the fossil fuel pollution. Alternative fuels, known as non-conventional and advanced fuels, are derived from resources other than fossil fuels. Because alcoholic fuels have several physical and propellant properties similar to those of gasoline, they can be considered as one of the alternative fuels. Alcoholic fuels or alcohol-blended fuels may be used in gasoline engines to reduce exhaust emissions. This study aimed to develop a gasoline engine model to predict the influence of different types of alcohol-blended fuels on performance and emissions. For the purpose of this study, the AVL Boost software was used to analyse characteristics of the gasoline engine when operating with different mixtures of ethanol, methanol, butanol, and gasoline (by volume). Results obtained from different fuel blends showed that when alcohol blends were used, brake power decreased and the brake specific fuel consumption increased compared to when using gasoline, and CO and HC concentrations decreased as the fuel blends percentage increased.

In this paper, engine simulation tool is used to investigate the effect of variable intake manifold and variable valve timing technologies on the engine performance at full load engine conditions. Here, an engine model of 1.6 litre four cylinders, four stroke spark ignition (SI) engine is constructed using GT-Power software to represent the real engine conditions. This constructed model is then correlated to the experimental data to make sure the accuracy of this model. The comparison results of volumetric efficiency (VE), intake manifold air pressure (MAP), exhaust manifold back pressure (BckPress) and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) show very well agreement with the differences of less than 4%. Then this correlated model is used to predict the engine performance at various intake runner lengths (IRL) and various intake valve open (IVO) timings. Design of experiment and optimisation tool are applied to obtain optimum parameters. Here, several configurations of IRL and IVO timing are proposed to give several options during the engine development work. A significant improvement is found at configuration of variable IVO timing and variable IRL compared to fixed IVO timing and fixed IRL.

Von Mises

Using the method of the parameter study, some important dimensions of the cylinder head of an internal-combustion engine are analyzed. Under the mechanical load, the variational rules of the Von Mises maximum stress on cylinder head are obtained, which are influenced by the thickness of the floor plate, head plate, jobbing sheet, standing partition board, and side plate of inlet port and exhaust port. A hypothesis is verified that there is an ideal matching point among those above-mentioned main parameters. The quantificational proportion relations, between these key structural parameters and Von-Mises maximum stress of cylinder head, can provide a good help for the cylinder head’s structural design.
