This paper uses a commercial CAE software GT-POWER to simulate the V-twin cylinder motorcycle engine exhaust acoustics. Ten different engine exhaust pipes with equal and unequal length and with or without arc connecting tube are designed. The engine performance and tailpipe exhaust noise on nineteen different engine speeds from 1000rpm to 10000rpm in wide-open throttle are studied. It is found that the effect of exhaust pipe configuration on the engine performance appears to be negligible. The tailpipe exhaust flow rate will be reduced and the overall sound level will bring down as the arc tube is connected to the exhaust front pipes. Also, the equal pipe length adapted with arc tube design gives a major function on pressure attenuation which may reduce the noise level significantly. The results may be useful for exhaust pipe design.

Dynamometer Test

A misfire controller developed by the authors was used in this paper to investigate the effect of misfire on the emission and engine performance of a single cylinder motorcycle engine. Three kinds of test were carried out, the idle test, the engine dynamometer tests, and the chassis test. It was found that in the engine dynamometer tests, the concentration of unburned hydrocarbons in the engine exhaust was raised and the engine torque declined as the misfire rate increased. The variations of the CO and CO2 are not the same in different operating conditions. At low load, CO concentration increased with the misfire rate while CO2 moved in an opposite direction. Contrary condition happened at high load. The CO2 concentration increased with the misfire rate while CO varied in the opposite way. Results of idle test showed that misfire would cause moderate deterioration of engine emission. However, chassis dynamometer test showed that even 1% of misfire would cause severe increase of emission.

The results are given from a comprehensive investigation of the exhaust pipe configurations for five-, six-, seven-and eight-cylinder turbocharged two-stroke engines. The tests were carried out under cold conditions on a multi-cylinder pulse generator. For each engine two firing orders and the maximum number of alternative pipe arrangements compatible with minimum interference between cylinders were examined. Three nozzle sizes were tested for each basic configuration. The test results were analysed to determine the maximum efficiency of the exhaust pipe, expressed as the availability factor, the average scavenge ratio and the distribution of retained air between cylinders. Results of the investigation showed that in the multi-cylinder system the scavenge ratio increased with increase in nozzle area ratio, increase in the number of cylinders discharging into the pipe system, and with decrease in pipe length. The gas retained in the cylinders was found to increase with decrease in nozzle area to pipe area ratio and decrease in pipe volume. The availability factor was found to increase with decrease in nozzle area to pipe area ratio and decrease in pipe volume.

Typical Method

Installing a catalytic converter in the exhaust is a typical method of reducing engine exhaust emissions. Catalytic converters have been shown to lower exhaust pollutants while enhancing engine performance. The influence of the number of brass catalyst plates (Cu-Zn) on the Performance of the commercial Yamaha Jupiter MX motorcycle engine manufactured in 2007 was investigated in this study. The catalyst is installed in the motorbike exhaust, with the number of catalyst plates varying between 5 and 8, and a conventional uncatalyzed exhaust serving as a comparison. Torque, power, specific fuel consumption, and thermal efficiency are among the performance factors that will be considered. A prony brake dynamometer was used to conduct torque and power measurements. The results indicate that exhaust with eight catalyst plates can improve engine performance more than an exhaust with five catalyst plates. Furthermore, exhausts equipped with eight catalyst plates can boost engine efficiency by an average of 17.65%. Thus, increasing the number of catalyst brass plates improves the machine's efficiency.

This paper presents an evaluation on elastomeric mount used to isolate vibration from powertrain to chassis or structure vehicle. The assessments started with measurement of noise inside compartment, and exhaust noise. This is followed by the measurement of vibration on both sides of elastomeric mounts. The noise in the compartment and exhaust noise is measured according to BS 6086: 1981 and BS ISO 5130: 2007. The noise in the compartment and vibration is tested in three conditions. Firstly, engine is run-up with load (driving at second gear); secondly, without load; and thirdly, without load but hanging. A microphone is fixed at the ear of the mannequin. The fast response and A weighting sound level meter were used for measurement noise in the compartment and exhaust noise. The vibration is measured in terms of acceleration on both sides of each elastomeric powertrain mounts. Two accelerometer transducers are fixed on both sides of powertrain elastomeric mounts. One side was identified as a source of vibration and the other as receiver of vibrations. The results showed that the pattern of overall vibration level on source and receiver increased from 1050 RPM (idling) to 4000 RPM on all test conditions. Vibration transmitted to chassis or receiver structure was analyzed using transmissibility concept. By evaluating test condition of engine run-up without load, informed that the front and rear mounts showed a high level transmissibility contributing to structure-borne noise.

The paper deals with an investigation of the fluctuations of pressure, due to piston motion on the exhaust stroke, which occur in the exhaust pipe of a single-cylinder four-stroke engine. Indicator diagrams of exhaust-port and of cylinder pressure, and measurements of air consumption were recorded, using exhaust pipes of three different diameters at three standard engine speeds; the exhaust pipe length was varied over a wide range in each case. In the light of the data thus obtained, the effects on air consumption of progressive alterations in valve timing were studied under known conditions of exhaust port pressure. Further trials were then carried out in which the valve timing which gave the maximum air consumption was determined for the full range of conditions of speed and exhaust pipe dimensions. The experimental results are discussed, and a method is derived by which the pressures in the exhaust port throughout the cycle may be obtained from theoretical considerations; the method is also directly applicable to induction pipe conditions.

In this experimental study, a four stroke diesel engine was conducted to investigate the effect of adding water-based ferrofluid to diesel fuel on engine performance. To our knowledge, Magnetic nanoparticles had not been used before. To this end, emulsified diesel fuels of 0, 0.4, and 0.8 water-based ferrofluid/Diesel ratios by volume were used as fuel. The ferrofluid used in this study was a handmade water-based ferrofluid prepared by the authors. The results show that adding water-based ferrofluid to diesel fuel has a perceptible effect on engine performance, increasing the brake thermal efficiency relatively up to 12%, and decreasing the brake specific fuel consumption relatively up to 11% as compared to diesel fuel. In addition, the results indicate that increasing ferrofluid concentration will magnify the results. Furthermore, it was found that magnetic nanoparticles can be collected at the engine exhaust using magnetic bar.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the influence of engine speed on the combustion characteristics of a Gardener compression ignition engine fueled with rapeseed methyl esther (RME). The engine has a maximum power of 14.4 kW and maximum speed of 1500 rpm. The experiment was carried out at speeds of 750 and 1250 rpm under loads of 4, 8, 12, 16 and 18 kg. Variations of cylinder pressure with crank angle degrees and cylinder volume have been examined. It was found that RME demonstrated short ignition delay primarily due to its high cetane number and leaner fuel properties (equivalence ratio (φ) = 0.22 at 4kg). An increase in thermal efficiency but decrease in volumetric efficiency was recorded due to increased brake loads. Variations in fuel mass flow rate, air mass flow rate, exhaust gas temperatures and equivalence ratio with respect to brake mean effective pressure at engine speeds of 750 and 1250 rpm were also demonstrated in this paper. Higher engine speed of 1250 rpm resulted in higher fuel and air mass flow rates, exhaust temperature, brake power and equivalent ratio but lower volumetric efficiency. Keywords— combustion characteristics, engine performance, engine speed, rapeseed methyl Esther

Exhaust Noise

Internal combustion engine is a major source of noise pollution. These engines are used for various purposes such as, in power plants, automobiles, locomotives, and in various manufacturing machineries. The noise is caused by two reasons; the first reason is the pulses which created when the burst of high pressure gas suddenly enters the exhaust system, while the second reason is the friction of various parts of the engine where the exhaust noise is the most dominant. The limitation of the noise caused by the exhaust system is accomplished by the use of silencers and mufflers. The aim of this study is the reduction of the noise by changing its inlet and outlet pipe length and shape. Also the losses in noise for different length and shapes have been investigated experimentally. The results show that the corrugated pipe is preferable for noise reduction.
