This study presents an experimental investigation and thermodynamic 0D modeling of the combustion of a compression-ignition engine, fueled by an alternative fuel based on neem biodiesel (B100) as well as conventional diesel (D100). The study highlights the effects of the engine load at 50%, 75% and 100% and the influence of the heat loss models proposed by Woschni, Eichelberg and Hohenberg on the variation in the cylinder pressure. The study shows that the heat loss through the cylinder wall is more pronounced during diffusion combustion regardless of the nature of the fuels tested and the load range required. The cylinder pressures when using B100 estimated at 89 bars are relatively higher than when using D100, about 3.3% greater under the same experimental conditions. It is also observed that the problem of the high pressure associated with the use of biodiesels in engines can be solved by optimizing the ignition delay. The net heat release rate remains roughly the same when using D100 and B100 at 100% load. At low loads, the D100 heat release rate is higher than B100. The investigation shows how wall heat losses are more pronounced in the diffusion combustion phase, relative to the premix phase, by presenting variations in the curves.

Phylogenetic Resolution

The diverse types of protonephridial filtration apparatus in the Platyhelminthes provide valuable characters for phylogenetic resolution, yet only one species from the order Prolecithophora has previously been studied. We examined three further species, two belonging to the family Cylindrostomidae and one from the Pseudostomidae, and found a novel arrangement consisting of scattered, short filtration slits in the cytoplasmic cylinder of the terminal cell surrounding the flame of cilia. In these species there are no regular, longitudinal ‘ribs’, such as are found in many other platyhelminth taxa, nor bundles of supporting microtubules in the cylinder wall, and cilia arise at various levels throughout the long terminal cell column rather than in a group at the base of the flame, as is found in most other taxa. The perikaryon lies adjacent to the flame, the wall surrounding the lumen is strengthened by long, cross-striated ciliary rootlets, and the terminal cell is joined to the proximal canal by a septate junction. This simple type of filtration structure bears some resemblance to that found in Tricladida, but is distinctly different from that described in another prolecithophoran, Archimonotresis limophila (Protomonotresidae). This suggests that there may be a fundamental division within the Prolecithophora with regard to protonephridial filtration structures.

A simple, inexpensive, and rapid method of assessing cylinder and piston ring wear was developed. A small sample of the oil which lubricates the cylinder wall and piston rings was drawn off through a small hole in the cylinder wall. The sample was then analyzed spectrographically. Changes in wear resulting from changes in cylinder liner materials, fuels, lubricating oils, and other operating conditions were investigated. The method was found useful especially in cases of drastic differences in the wear rates. Selected examples of these studies are reported.

A large under-construction chimney at BALCO Power Plant in central India collapsed on Sep. 23, 2009 under severe stormy weather, causing serious casualties and massive economic losses, while another, similarly built, survived. So far, there has been no strict and scientific analysis on the cause of the accident. In this paper, finite element method is used to simulate the effect of wind loads and the whole collapse procedure based on the investigation of information about the design, the construction, the site related records, etc. The results show that the initial part of the chimney destroyed is the top of the structure (specifically the construction platform and the partial top cylinder wall of the chimney); then the debris from the top fells and crashes the lower part of the structure, eventually leading to the whole structure collapsing. The analysis results are basically consistent with the observation of the debris and the toppling scene and what the witnesses described, and scientifically clarify the actual cause of the chimney collapse. In addition, by comparing the chimney design codes between the USA and China, along with the analysis results, some suggestions are proposed to prevent similar accidents in chimney projects.

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.

Inertial Torque

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The main object of this dissertation is to study the dynamic analysis of an inline internal combustion engine. This dissertation presents the kinematics and kinetic analyses of an inline internal combustion engine crank mechanism, the dynamic torque imbalance and foundation forces for a single-piston and multi-piston engines are studied as well. The objectives of this dissertation are to explore the inertial-torque characteristics and foundation forces of an inline, internal combustion engine with connecting-rod joints that are evenly spaced about the centerline of the crankshaft, and to evaluate the goodness of a mass approximation that is customarily used in machine design textbooks. In this dissertation the number of pistons within the internal combustion engine is varied from 1 to 8. In order to generalize the results, the reaction force between the ground and the crank in the x-direction and y-direction equations are nondimensionalized and shown to depend upon only six nondimensional groups, all related to the mass and geometry properties of the connecting rod and crank while the reaction force between the connecting rod and the piston in the x-direction y-direction, reaction force between the crank and the connecting rod in the x-direction y-direction, reaction force between the piston and the cylinder wall, and the inertial-torque equations are nondimensionalized all related to the mass and geometry properties of the connecting rod. As shown in this dissertation, the largest torque imbalance is exhibited by a 2-piston engine. The next largest torque imbalance is exhibited by a 3-piston engine, followed by a single-piston engine (this is not monotonic). The largest foundation forces are exhibited by a single-piston engine. The next largest foundation forces are exhibited by a 2-piston engine, followed by a 3e-piston engine, and that a dramatic reduction in the foundation forces and torque imbalance may be obtained by using 4 or more pistons in the design, when using as many as 8 pistons the foundation forces and torque imbalance essentially vanishes. It should be observed that the mass approximation captures 100 percent of the variability of the actual torque imbalance for engines that are designed with an odd number of pistons equal to or greater than three. The mass approximation captures 100 percent of the variability of the actual reaction force between the piston and cylinder wall for engines that are designed with single-piston and multi-pistons. The mass approximation captures 100 percent of the variability of the actual reaction force against piston pin for engines that are designed with single-piston. It is also shown in this dissertation that the customary mass approximations for the connecting rod may be used to simplify the analysis for all engine designs without a significant loss of modeling accuracy.

First Time

Phosphor thermometry is applied for the first time in a large-bore two-stroke diesel engine. The work proves the practicality of phosphor thermometry in large-bore engines. The experiments were conducted on the MAN 4T50ME-X marine research engine equipped with an optical cylinder head. By employing a thin surface coating of CdWO4 phosphor, cycle resolved temperature measurements of the cylinder wall were obtained. Motored and fired engine operations were tested at engine loads covering the low and medium engine load range. Phosphor thermometry proved to be successful in retrieving the temperature with standard deviations ranging around 1–8 K. Experimental considerations like detector linearity, coating thickness and an automated phosphor calibration routine will be addressed.
