Engineering change is an important and complex activity for manufacturing enterprises. In order to improve the efficiency of engineering change, designers should pay different attentions to different nodes of product development network. In that case, a method of classifying the nodes was proposed. First, we proposed a method to cluster the nodes based on design structure matrix; then, we analyzed the indexes for evaluating the importance of nodes and studied the method of classifying the nodes of product development network; finally, the experiment of managing a type of motorcycle engine was employed to validate our method and it showed the correctness of the proposed method.

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is recognized as an advanced combustion system for internal combustion engines that reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. This work studied a 150 cc air-cooled, four-stroke motorcycle engine employing HCCI combustion. The compression ratio was increased from 10.5 to 12.4 by modifying the cylinder head. Kerosene fuel was used without intake air heating and operated at various excess air ratios (λ), engine speeds, and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rates. Combustion characteristics and emissions on the target engine were measured. It was found that keeping the cylinder head temperature at around 120–130°C is important for conducting a stable experiment. Two-stage ignition was observed from the heat release rate curve, which was calculated from cylinder pressure. Higher λ or EGR causes lower peak pressure, lower maximum rate of pressure rise (MRPR), and higher emission of CO. However, EGR is better than λ for decreasing the peak pressure and MRPR without deteriorating the engine output. Advancing the timing of peak pressure causes high peak pressure, and hence increases MRPR. The timing of peak pressure around 10–15 degree of crank angle after top dead center indicates a good appearance for low MRPR.

For increasing the thermal engine efficiency, faster combustion and low cycle-to-cycle variation are required. In PFI engines the organization of in-cylinder flow structure is thus mandatory for achieving increased efficiency. In particular the formation of a coherent tumble vortex with dimensions comparable to engine stroke largely promotes proper turbulence production extending the engine tolerance to dilute/lean mixture. For motorbike and scooter applications, tumble has been considered as an effective way to further improve combustion system efficiency and to achieve emission reduction since layout and weight constraints limit the adoption of more advanced concepts. In literature chamber geometry was found to have a significant influence on bulk motion and turbulence levels at ignition time, while intake system influences mainly the formation of tumble vortices during suction phase. The most common engine parameters believed to affect in-cylinder flow structure are: 1. Intake duct angle; 2. Inlet valve shape and lift; 3. Piston shape; 4. Pent-roof angle. The present paper deals with the computational analysis of three different head shapes equipping a scooter/motorcycle engine and their influence on the tumble flow formation and breakdown, up to the final turbulent kinetic energy distribution at spark plug. The engine in analysis is a 3-valves pent-roof motorcycle engine. The three dimensional CFD simulations were run at 6500 rpm with AVL FIRE code on the three engines characterised by the same piston, valve lift, pent-roof angle and compression ratio. They differ only in head shape and squish areas. The aim of the present paper is to demonstrate the influence of different head shapes on in-cylinder flow motion, with particular care to tumble motion and turbulence level at ignition time. Moreover, an analysis of the mutual influence between tumble motion and squish motion was carried out in order to assess the role of both these motions in promoting a proper level of turbulence at ignition time close to spark plug in small 3-valves engines.
