In order to decrease Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions, Oxy-Fuel Combustion (OFC) technology with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is being developed in Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). In this article, a numerical study about the effects of intake charge on OFC was conducted in a dual-injection. Spark Ignition (SI) engine, with Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI), Port Fuel Injection (PFI) and P-G (50% PFI and 50% GDI) three injection strategies. The results show that under OFC with fixed Oxygen Mass Fraction (OMF) and intake temperature, the maximum Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP) is each 5.671, 5.649 and 5.646 bar for GDI, P-G and PFI strategy, which leads to a considerable decrease compared to Conventional Air Combustion (CAC). [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of PFI are the lowest among three injection strategies. With intake temperature increases from 298 to 378 K, the reduction of BMEP can be up to 12.68%, 12.92% and 12.75% for GDI, P-G and PFI, respectively. Meantime, there is an increase of about 3% in Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) and Brake Specific Oxygen Consumption (BSOC). Increasing OMF can improve the performance of BMEP and BSFC, and the trend is more apparent under GDI strategy. Besides, an increasing tendency can be observed for cylinder pressure and in-cylinder temperature under all injection strategies with the increase of OMF.

This study aims to investigate the effect of the port injection of ammonia on performance, knock and NOx emission across a range of engine speeds in a gasoline/ethanol dual-fuel engine. An experimentally validated numerical model of a naturally aspirated spark-ignition (SI) engine was developed in AVL BOOST for the purpose of this investigation. The vibe two zone combustion model, which is widely used for the mathematical modeling of spark-ignition engines is employed for the numerical analysis of the combustion process. A significant reduction of ~50% in NOx emissions was observed across the engine speed range. However, the port injection of ammonia imposed some negative impacts on engine equivalent BSFC, CO and HC emissions, increasing these parameters by 3%, 30% and 21%, respectively, at the 10% ammonia injection ratio. Additionally, the minimum octane number of primary fuel required to prevent knock was reduced by up to 3.6% by adding ammonia between 5 and 10%. All in all, the injection of ammonia inside a bio-fueled engine could make it robust and produce less NOx, while having some undesirable effects on BSFC, CO and HC emissions.

This paper deals with Numerical Study of 4-stoke, Single cylinder, Spark Ignition, Extended Expansion Lean Burn Engine. Engine processes are simulated using thermodynamic and global modeling techniques. In the simulation study following process are considered compression, combustion, and expansion. Sub-models are used to include effect due to gas exchange process, heat transfer and friction. Wiebe heat release formula was used to predict the cylinder pressure, which was used to find out the indicated work done. The heat transfer from the cylinder, friction and pumping losses also were taken into account to predict the brake mean effective pressure, brake thermal efficiency and brake specific fuel consumption. Extended Expansion Engine operates on Otto-Atkinson cycle. Late Intake Valve Closure (LIVC) technique is used to control the load. The Atkinson cycle has lager expansion ratio than compression ratio. This is achieved by increasing the geometric compression ratio and employing LIVC. Simulation result shows that there is an increase in thermal efficiency up to a certain limit of intake valve closure timing. Optimum performance is attained at 90 deg intake valve closure (IVC) timing further delaying the intake valve closure reduces the engine performance.

Good Agreement

A numerical study has been performed of the air/fuel preparation process in a cold-starting port-injected spark-ignition engine. The latest models were implemented for spray impingement and multicomponent vaporization of the droplet and wall film accounting for finite diffusion in the liquid. The infinite diffusion model was found insufficient for predicting vaporization in this engine, and the single-component fuel representation yields results significantly different from those from the multicomponent one. The operating parameters studied included injection timing, swirl, speed, target path, enrichment, and fuel accumulation. In-cylinder measurements were compared and good agreement was achieved. Detailed quantitative analysis of the air/fuel preparation of the engine was reported.

Proper Design

The proper design of the flywheel undeniably determines in tuning the engine to confirm the better output engine performance. The aim of this study is to mathematically investigate the effect of various values of the compression ratio on some essential parameters to determine the appropriate value for the flywheel dimension. A numerical calculation approach was proposed to eventually determine the dimension of the engine flywheel on a five-cylinder four-stroke Spark Ignition (SI) engine. The various compression ratios of 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, and 11 were selected to perform the calculations. The effects of compression ratio on effective pressure, indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP), dynamic irregularity value of the crankshaft, and the diameter of the flywheel was clearly investigated. The study found that 2.5 increment value of the compression ratio significantly increases the effective pressure of about 41.53% on the starting of the expansion stroke. While at the end of the compression stroke, the rise of effective pressure is about 76.67%, and the changes in dynamic irregularity merely increase by about 1.79%. The same trend applies to the flywheel diameter and width, which increases 2.08% for both.
