At present, the control of the automobile engine exhaust noise is mainly installed exhaust muffler. Muffler design and performance research mainly around the silencing performance and the influence to engine power loss. This article built the 3d modeling of automobile exhaust muffler and through simulation analysis obtained the muffler internal acoustic pressure distribution and changes of insertion loss with frequency. Predict the silencer muffler performance as well as the influence on engine power loss. Provide a reference basis for the design of the silencer and optimization. Compared to the traditional experiment method, the method in this article has the advantages of short cycle, low cost.

Engine exhaust thermal power can be recovered with bottoming Rankine cycle turbine used to drive the engine charging compressor. This paper describes the turbine design concepts and performance analysis of organic fluid turbines for various size turbochargers to be employed with diesel engines of different power levels. Such designs result in monostage full admission turbines with supersonic exit stator nozzles and low degrees of reaction. Turbine expansion efficiencies from 77% to 79% and overall organic fluid turbocharger efficiencies from 53% to 63% are projected with engine power levels ranging from 100 kW to 20 MW. Design problems such as sealing are discussed.

Based on compute analysis engineering (CAE), the performances of acoustic and fluent for muffler comprehensively were analyzed and optimized in the paper. First, aiming at the heavy exhaust noise of diesel engine, bench experiments of measuring independently were designed and carried out, the frequency spectrum of exhaust noise was achieved, combining with simulation analysis of the finite element, acoustic and fluid performances of the original muffler and respective muffling cavities were analyzed, whose shortage such as transmission loss, pressure loss and flow regeneration noise were achieved, the muffler would be re-designed by CAE. Simulation shows the performances of improved mufflers were better than the original one. Eventually, insertion loss of experiment for new muffler is more 10dB(A) above than the original one, and power loss met requirement.

Radial and mixed flow turbines which are an important component of a turbocharger consist essentially of a volute, a rotor and a diffuser. Vaneless volute turbines, which have reasonable performance and low cost, are the most widely used in turbochargers for automotive engines. Care has to be done in the design of the volute, whose function is to convert a part of the engine exhaust gas energy into kinetic energy and direct the flow towards the rotor inlet at an appropriate flow angle with reduced losses. Turbulent compressible flow analysis and performance prediction using the finite volume method with two turbulence models (RNG k-ε and SST) implemented in the ANSYS-CFX software, are carried out on two different volute types. Four volutes, with different cross section areas used for radial turbines, are studied and the computed results are compared with the available experimental data. The second volute studied is the one used for a mixed flow turbine in the turbocharger test rig at Imperial College. In this part of the study, the interest is focused on the influence of the volute inlet flow conditions on its performance (efficiency, exit flow angle, etc).

Amorphous silicon PECVD photonic integrated devices are promising candidates for low cost sensing applications. This manuscript reports a simulation analysis about the impact on the overall efficiency caused by the lithography imperfections in the deposition process. The tolerance to the fabrication defects of a photonic sensor based on surface plasmonic resonance is analysed. The simulations are performed with FDTD and BPM algorithms. The device is a plasmonic interferometer composed by an a-Si:H waveguide covered by a thin gold layer. The sensing analysis is performed by equally splitting the input light into two arms, allowing the sensor to be calibrated by its reference arm. Two different 1 × 2 power splitter configurations are presented: a directional coupler and a multimode interference splitter. The waveguide sidewall roughness is considered as the major negative effect caused by deposition imperfections. The simulation results show that plasmonic effects can be excited in the interferometric waveguide structure, allowing a sensing device with enough sensitivity to support the functioning of a bio sensor for high throughput screening. In addition, the good tolerance to the waveguide wall roughness, points out the PECVD deposition technique as reliable method for the overall sensor system to be produced in a low-cost system. The large area deposition of photonics structures, allowed by the PECVD method, can be explored to design a multiplexed system for analysis of multiple biomarkers to further increase the tolerance to fabrication defects.
