This article discusses the main history of the creation of high-speed short-stroke diesel engines and an assessment of the main factors that most significantly affect the working process of a diesel engine. When developing a new design of a high-speed diesel engine, it is necessary to pay special attention to the following factors: the intensity of the air charge, injection pressure parameters, the shape of the combustion chamber and the choice of the best option. Research carried out with a 7 x 0.15 mm nozzle in a wide range of speed changes (n = 1000 + 2800 min-1) shows that it is possible to find a position of the widened valve at which optimal results are obtained at medium and high rotational speeds, and on small - engine performance will deteriorate slightly.

A single cylinder diesel engine upgraded to operate Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) system and employed in this investigation. Tests were conducted on this engine using High-Speed diesel (HSD) and Simarouba biodiesel (SOME) blends to determine the influence of Injection Pressure (IP) and Injection Timing (IT) on the performance and emissions. Four unique IP of 400 bar to 1000 bar, in steps of 200 bar and four differing ITs of 10°, 13°, 15° and 18° before Top Dead Center (bTDC) combinations were attempted for the 25% to full load. Compression Ratio (CR) of 16.5 and Engine speed of 1500 RPM was kept constant during all trails. Critical performance parameter like Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) and Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) were analyzed, primary emission parameters of the diesel engine The NOx and Smoke opacity were recorded. Finally, the outcomes of each combination were discussed.

The necessity of adapting diesel engines to work on vegetable oils is justified. The possibility of using rapeseed oil and its mixtures with petroleum diesel fuel as motor fuels is considered. Experimental studies of fuel injection of small high-speed diesel engine type MD-6 (1 Ch 8,0/7,5)when using diesel oil and rapeseed oil and computational studies of auto-tractor diesel engine type D-245.12 (1 ChN 11/12,5), working on blends of petroleum diesel fuel and rapeseed oil. When switching autotractor diesel engine from diesel fuel to rapeseed oil in the full-fuel mode, the mass cycle fuel supply increased by 12 %, and in the small-size high-speed diesel engine – by about 27 %. From the point of view of the flow of the working process of these diesel engines, changes in other parameters of the fuel injection process are less significant. Keywords diesel engine; petroleum diesel fuel; vegetable oil; rapeseed oil; high pressure fuel pump; fuel injector; sprayer

Abstract Modern Diesel engines have become highly complex multi-input multi-output systems. Controls of modern Diesel engines to meet various requirements such as high fuel efficiency and low NOx and particulate matter (PM) emissions, remain a great challenge for automotive control community. While model-based controls have demonstrated significant potentials in achieving high Diesel engine performance. Complete and high-fidelity control-oriented Diesel engine models are much needed as the foundations of model-based control system development. In this study, a semi-physical, mean-value control-oriented model of a turbocharged Diesel engine equipped with high-pressure exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) is developed and experimentally validated. The static calibration of Diesel engine model is achieved with the least-square optimization methodology using the experimental test data from a physical Diesel engine platform. The normalized root mean square errors (NRMSEs) of the calibration results are in the range of 0.1095 to 0.2582. The cross-validation results demonstrated that the model was capable of accurately capturing the engine torque output and NOx emissions with the control inputs of EGR, VGT and Start of Injection timing (SOI) in wide-range operating conditions.

This paper, an abstract of the original, is intended to provide information concerning the present status of Diesel fuel research. The paper is divided into two parts, the first of which concerns the types of fuel in use, describing briefly their sources and properties. A short account is also given of the existing fuel situation and how this may influence future research. Part II deals with the effects of fuel characteristics on engine performance, wear, and fouling. The methods of overcoming any deleterious effects caused by the fuel are discussed, and particular reference is made to the beneficial effects of lubricating oil additives. It must be emphasized that most of the work described refers to the high-speed Diesel engine, owing to the unsuitability of large units for laboratory testing. However, this is beneficial since the high-speed Diesel is most sensitive to fuel characteristics, and it serves to disclose the majority of defects that can arise in a Diesel engine.

A cyclone-based filtration system has been developed and its potential for reduction of exhaust particulates in high-speed direct injection diesel engines is evaluated; the filtration efficiency of the four cyclones has been enhanced by means of particulate agglomeration induced by cooling in a heat exchanger. With this system installed in the exhaust pipe of a 2.5 litre direct injection engine, tests covering a wide range of speed, load and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) fraction resulted in reductions of up to 77 per cent in emitted particulate mass flowrate. The dependence of the system's performance on engine operating conditions, EGR configuration and cyclone geometry is presented and discussed.

This paper introduces a phenomenological model for the fuel distribution, combustion, and emissions formation in the small bore, high speed direct injection diesel engine. A differentiation is made between the conditions in large bore and small bore diesel engines, particularly regarding the fuel impingement on the walls and the swirl and squish gas flow components. The model considers the fuel injected prior to the development of the flame, fuel injected in the flame, fuel deposited on the walls and the last part of the fuel delivered at the end of the injection process. The model is based on experimental results obtained in a single-cylinder, 4-valve, direct-injection, four-stroke-cycle, water-cooled, diesel engine equipped with a common rail fuel injection system. The engine is supercharged with heated shop air, and the exhaust back pressure is adjusted to simulate actual turbo-charged diesel engine conditions. The experiments covered a wide range of injection pressures, EGR rates, injection timings and swirl ratios. Correlations and 2-D maps are developed to show the effect of combinations of the above parameters on engine out emissions. Emphasis is made on the nitric oxide and soot measured in Bosch Smoke Units (BSU).


Diesel engines are highly efficient and rugged due to their high compression ratios and are widely used in transportation and agricultural sectors. The main disadvantages of diesel engines are that they emit higher particulate matter and NOx emissions. The ever increasing cost of crude petroleum products and strict regulation norms laid down on tailpipe emissions has necessitated search for suitable alternative and renewable fuels for diesel engines to operate in dual fuel mode . In the present work KME20 (20% karanja methyl ester - 80% high speed diesel) and Bio-CNG (enriched biogas) are selected as fuels to operate the diesel engine on dual fuel mode (DFM) at 0.3kg/h,0.6kg/h and 0.9kg/h flow rates of biogas. In this study it is found that the thermal efficiency (BTE), NOx and Smoke emissions are lower, CO and HC emissions are higher for dual fuel mode diesel engine when compared to diesel engine normal operation.

Maintaining the quality of breathing air in urban and industrial areas is one of the biggest challenges faced by humanity in the modern era. Diesel engines, as one of the main providers of energy supply for modern equipment and transport, are also unfortunately contributing highly to the deterioration of air quality. A recent research path on the limitation of diesel engine emissions is the use of alternative fuel from vegetable or animal fats or oil called biodiesel. Although the use of biodiesel has proven its efficiency in reducing emissions, it remains a problem to maintain the engine’s efficiency when shifting to biodiesel, especially due to its injection and atomization properties; most of the recent research focused on improving biodiesel fuel quality by blending it with traditional diesel fuel, but few works can be found on the regulation or control of diesel engine process when shifting to 100% biodiesel fuel (B100). This work proposes a fuel control strategy and methodology based on diesel engine operating data obtained from an experimentally designed rate of injection model (ROI) at different injection pressures and a jet and spray droplet distribution validated a two-zone model. Results show that B100 gives a higher amount of about 8% of injected fuel, a longer jet penetration of about 20 mm higher at 100 MPa injection pressure, a wider cone angle, and about a 40% increase of coarseness of the jet distribution. The experimental and numerical-based control strategy provides interacting relationships between B100 properties and specific engine features where actions shall be made to keep the engine’s efficiency when the shift is made; meanwhile, the algorithm provides a hierarchical step-by-step correcting procedure taking into account the possible degradation that could occur from the use of B100 in diesel engines.

Particulate matters especially particles with less than 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5) are the main cause of severe air pollution problem in Thailand that lead to the mortality risk in cardiovascular disease. Exhaust gas emissions specifically carbon monoxide and black smoke from diesel engines are the essential sources in generating significant amounts of PM2.5. Improving diesel properties by mixing oxygenated additives is one of the alternatives in reducing this pollutant. The main objective of this research is to investigate the performance and emission of a high-speed diesel engine at 3,000 rpm and different loads operated with diesel mixed with 5 to 20% ethanol and 5% ethyl acetate. The results of engine test at 80% load using diesel mixed with 5% of ethanol and ethyl acetate showed a few decreases in fuel properties and engine performance compared with diesel. The release of black smoke was also decreased to 14%. Increasing the mixture of ethanol to more than 5% has led to the decrease in engine performance continuously. The diesel mixed with ethanol at 20% and ethyl acetate at 5% has reduced the carbon monoxide and black smoke to 0.012%vol and 31.53% respectively and accrued the carbon dioxide at 1.25%vol. This is because the diesel mixed with ethanol and ethyl acetate increased the oxygen level to perform complete combustion as compared with diesel. However, the temperature of these exhaust gases was raised to 55oC
