Knowledge of the acoustic source characteristics of internal combustion engines (IC-engines) is of great importance when designing the exhaust duct system and its components to withstand the resulting dynamic loads and to reduce the exhaust noise emission. The goal of the present study is to numerically and experimentally investigate the medium speed IC-engine acoustic source characteristics, not only in the plane wave range but also in the high frequency range. The low frequency acoustic source characteristics were predicted by simulating the acoustic multiload measurements by using a one-dimensional process simulation code. The low frequency in-duct exhaust noise of a medium speed IC-engine can be quite accurately predicted. The high frequency source data is estimated by averaging the measured acoustic pressures with different methods; using the simple cross-spectra averaging method seems promising in this instance.

Exergy Balance

Abstract Exergy analysis of the reciprocating internal combustion (IC) engines is studied by estimating various input and output energy transfer parameters concerning a dead state reference. Exergy terms such as fuel input, work output, cooling, and exhaust gas are measured and are set into the exergy balance equation to determine the amount of loss or destruction. Exergy destructions are found in many forms such as combustion (entropy generation), cylinder wall, friction, mixing, blow-by, and others. These exergy terms have been estimated by considering various factors such as engine type, fuel type, environmental condition, and others. In this article, the different methods employed in estimating these exergy terms have been reviewed. It attempts to make a compendium of these evaluation methods and segregates them under individual exergy terms with necessary descriptions. The fuel input measurement is mostly based on Gibb's free energy and the lower heating value, whereas its higher heating value is used during the fuel exergy calculation on a molar basis. The work output of the engines is estimated either from the crankshaft or by analyzing the cylinder pressure and volume. The exergy transfer with cooling medium and exhaust gas depends on the temperature of gas. The maximum achievable engine performance is quantified by estimating the exergy efficiency. This piece of study will not only provide a plenty of information on exergy evaluation methods of IC engines but will also allow the future researchers to adopt the appropriate one.

Ic Engines

Reciprocating IC engines are traditionally modeled as operating on air standard cycles that approximate indicator diagrams obtained in experiments on real engines. These indicator diagrams can best be approximated by the dual cycle for both gasoline and diesel engines. Analysis of air standard cycles unfortunately fails to capture second law effects such as exergy destruction due to the irreversibility of combustion. Indeed, a complete thermodynamic study of any process requires application of both the first and second laws of thermodynamics. This article gives a combined first and second law analysis of reciprocating IC engines in general with optimization of performance as primary goal. A practical dual-like cycle is assumed for the operation of a typical reciprocating IC engine and process efficiencies are assigned to allow for irreversibilities in the compression and expansion processes. The combustion process is modeled instead of being replaced simply by a heat input process to air as is common in air standard cycle analysis. The study shows that performance of the engine can indeed be optimized on the basis of geometrical design parameters such as the compression ratio as well as the air-fuel ratio used for the combustion.
