In this study, the influence of the charge motion on the internal combustion in a spark ignition sewage gas-driven engine (150 kW) for combined heat and power units was investigated. For this purpose, the geometry of the combustion chamber in the immediate vicinity to the inlet valve seats was modified. The geometrical modification measures were conducted iteratively by integrative determination of the swirl motion on a flow bench, by laser-optical methods and consecutively by combustion analysis on a test engine. Two different versions of cylinder heads were characterized by dimensionless flow and swirl numbers prior to testing their on-engine performance. Combustion analysis was conducted with a cylinder pressure indication system for partial and full load, meeting the mandatory NOx limit of 500 mg m−3. Subsuming the flow bench results, the new valve seat design has a significant enhancing impact on the swirl motion but it also leads to disadvantages concerning the volumetric efficiency. A comparative consideration of the combustion rate delivers that the increased swirl motion results in a faster combustion, hence in a higher efficiency. In summary, the geometrical modifications close to the valve seat result in increased turbulence intensity. It was proven that this intensification raises the ratio of efficiency by 1.6%.

Along with the development of internal combustion engines, camshafts have also been developed to optimize engine performance. In all types of internal combustion engines, the crankshaft is connected to the camshaft via a toothed belt, chain or pinion. When the crankshaft turns, the camshaft spins and opens and closes the intake and exhaust valve respectively. However, in this non-camshaft engine technology, each intake and exhaust valve will be integrated with an electronically controlled hydraulic pump unit. This system provides a unique ability to independently control intake and exhaust valves. For any engine load, load and discharge times can be programmed independently. The decision system is based on driving conditions, used to maximize performance or minimize fuel consumption and emissions. This allows a greater degree of control over the engine which in turn provides significant performance benefits. This article presents reviews of camshaftless technology developed by VALEO. It is a system that uses solenoid valves to open and close the valve. The solenoid valve will be mounted right on top of the valve inside the engine. The author can see that the technology using this electronic control valve will help reduce the fuel consumption of the engine.

The mathematical description of combustion process in the internal combustion engines is a very difficult task, due to the variety of phenomena that occurring in the engine from the moment when the fuel-air mixture ignites up to the moment when intake and exhaust valves beginning open. Modeling of the combustion process plays an important role in the engine simulation, which allows to predict in-cylinder pressure during the combustion, engine performance and environmental impact with high accuracy. The toxic emissions, which appears as a result of fuels combustion, are one of the main environmental problem and as a result the air pollutant regulations are increasingly stringent, what makes the investigation of the combustion process to be a relevant task.

Abstract Modern internal combustion engines (ICE) operate at the ragged edge of stable operation characterized by high cycle-to-cycle variations (CCV). A key scientific challenge for ICE is the understanding, modeling, and control of CCV in engine performance, which can contribute to partial burns, misfire, and knock. The objective of the current study is to use high-fidelity numerical simulations to improve the understanding of the causes of CCV. Nek5000, a leading high-order spectral element, open source code, is used to simulate the turbulent flow in the engine combustion chamber. Multi-cycle, wall-resolved large-eddy simulations (LES) are performed for the General Motors (GM), Transparent Combustion Chamber (TCC-III) optical engine under motored operating conditions. The mean and root-mean-square (r.m.s.) of the in-cylinder flow fields at various piston positions are validated using PIV measurements during the intake and compression strokes. The large-scale flow structures, including the swirl and tumble flow patterns, are analyzed in detail and the causes for cyclic variabilities in these flow features are explained. The energy distribution across the different scales of the flow are quantified using one-dimensional energy spectra, and the effect of the tumble breakdown process on the energy distribution is examined. The insights from the current study can help us develop improved engine designs with reduced cyclic variabilities in the in-cylinder flow leading to enhanced engine performance.

The article presents an analysis of phenomena of selected elements of piston internal combustion engines cooperating with the combustion chamber and issues related to tribological aspects. It shows an attempt to assess the state of the tribological nodes: the valve stem – valve guide and valve head – valve seat in random natural conditions. Passive and passive-active experiments were conducted in the conditions of the operation of sea ships. The effects of complex and changeable inputs were examined on the value of the normal and pathological wear in the operation of medium-speed engines. Images of wear and damaged items of tribological nodes were studied. Analysis was conducted of digital images of real objects and using an optical microscope and measurements of macro- and micro-geometry. An identification of basic processes of wear was taken.

Charge motion in internal combustion engines is controlled by valves located near the engine ports in the intake path. The valve bodies are obstructions in the air-flow path and are a source of inefficiencies in the engine over its entire operating load. In order to achieve charge motion control without the use of valves, this research investigates the use of synthetic jet actuators to perform swirl and tumble of the air mass entering the cylinder. The purpose of this research is to design, test, and characterize a synthetic jet actuator, and determine the feasibility of using synthetic jet actuators in automotive air-intake systems. The accomplished work to date has led to geometrical optimization, fabrication of a prototype, and experimental investigation for determining jet velocities. The geometrical optimization of synthetic jets has led to a device with a thinner profile that allows it to be embedded in structures with thin (< 5mm) cross-sections and hence we refer to our synthetic jets as surface synthetic jets. It is shown here that air exiting the surface synthetic jets achieves sustained peak velocities well above 125 m/s. A variational principles-based approach is used to model the frequency response of the piezoelectric diaphragm, coupled with the lumped-parameter model for the surface synthetic jets and simulated using MATLAB Simulink®. The results of this model are validated with experimental results and extended to design charge motion control devices. From these results, it is anticipated that these surface synthetic jet actuators can achieve charge motion control using a radial array of surface synthetic jet actuators distributed around the intake runner.
