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.

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.

Exhaust Noise

The major source responsible for noise pollution is internal combustion engine. These engines are used for various purposes such as in automobiles, locomotives, and in various manufacturing machineries. In an engine, the exhaust noise and the noise produced due to friction of various parts of the engine share maximum contribution to noise pollution. Muffler is a device used to reduce noise within the exhaust system. It is arranged along the exhaust pipe for the purpose of noise attenuation. The paper describes the propagation of pressure wave in a double expansion chamber reactive muffler. The approach is useful in analysis of damping for propagation of harmonic pressure waves. The purpose of paper is to describe the finite element analysis of double expansion chamber reactive muffler using pressure acoustics and to validate it with experimental evaluation using two-load method.

Stroke Engine

Crankcase-scavenge two-stroke engines have always been fitted with a large expansion chamber immediately outside the exhaust ports, but this is by no means essential, as such engines will operate very satisfactorily with a plain exhaust pipe. The length of this pipe is most important and has a controlling influence on the scavenging of the cylinder and the performance of the engine. Even when an expansion chamber is used in the exhaust system, the length of exhaust pipe still has a very marked effect on engine performance. It has been found that certain arrangements of this combination of expansion chamber and pipes completely upset the performance of the engine, whilst others improve the performance, but it is possible to calculate the “equivalent length” of any system of this nature, and so arrange matters that the exhaust system is a help rather than a hindrance to the engine. Though certain results have not been satisfactorily explained, the tests carried out do give a fairly clear indication of the way in which the engine performance is affected by the variations in pressure in the exhaust system. The concluding section gives a description of the principle on which the self-induction engine works, and indicates how use is made of the pressure variations or oscillations in the exhaust pipe to scavenge the engine cylinder, resulting in the complete elimination of the air pump on a two-stroke engine.

A mean-line compressor performance calculation method is presented that covers the entire operating range, including the choked region of the map. It can be directly integrated into overall engine performance models, as it is developed in the same simulation environment. The code materializing the model can inherit the same interfaces, fluid models, and solvers, as the engine cycle model, allowing consistent, transparent, and robust simulations. In order to deal with convergence problems when the compressor operates close to or within the choked operation region, an approach to model choking conditions at blade row and overall compressor level is proposed. The choked portion of the compressor characteristics map is thus numerically established, allowing full knowledge and handling of inter-stage flow conditions. Such choking modelling capabilities are illustrated, for the first time in the open literature, for the case of multi-stage compressors. Integration capabilities of the 1D code within an overall engine model are demonstrated through steady state and transient simulations of a contemporary turbofan layout. Advantages offered by this approach are discussed, while comparison of using alternative approaches for representing compressor performance in overall engine models is discussed.

Blended Fuels

Air pollution, especially in large cities around the world, is associated with serious problems both with people’s health and the environment. Over the past few years, there has been a particularly intensive demand for alternatives to fossil fuels, because when they are burned, substances that pollute the environment are released. In addition to the smoke from fuels burned for heating and harmful emissions that industrial installations release, the exhaust emissions of vehicles create a large share of the fossil fuel pollution. Alternative fuels, known as non-conventional and advanced fuels, are derived from resources other than fossil fuels. Because alcoholic fuels have several physical and propellant properties similar to those of gasoline, they can be considered as one of the alternative fuels. Alcoholic fuels or alcohol-blended fuels may be used in gasoline engines to reduce exhaust emissions. This study aimed to develop a gasoline engine model to predict the influence of different types of alcohol-blended fuels on performance and emissions. For the purpose of this study, the AVL Boost software was used to analyse characteristics of the gasoline engine when operating with different mixtures of ethanol, methanol, butanol, and gasoline (by volume). Results obtained from different fuel blends showed that when alcohol blends were used, brake power decreased and the brake specific fuel consumption increased compared to when using gasoline, and CO and HC concentrations decreased as the fuel blends percentage increased.

Avoiding the urea deposition in the exhaust stream is one of the basic requirements for SCR system normal application. Unreasonable structure design, machining and installation position all could lead to urea crystallization on the wall of exhaust pipe and the front end surface of the catalyst, in addition, unreasonable control strategy also could deteriorate this phenomenon. The components of the urea depositions are the urea and cyanuric acid analyzed by thermogravimetry - FTIR technology. The integrated injector mounting is designed to alleviate the urea crystallization based on analysis results. The engine test and the vehicle road test are all shown that the optimal structural design and calibration strategies could avoid crystallization and sedimentation effectively in the exhaust system.

In this paper, engine simulation tool is used to investigate the effect of variable intake manifold and variable valve timing technologies on the engine performance at full load engine conditions. Here, an engine model of 1.6 litre four cylinders, four stroke spark ignition (SI) engine is constructed using GT-Power software to represent the real engine conditions. This constructed model is then correlated to the experimental data to make sure the accuracy of this model. The comparison results of volumetric efficiency (VE), intake manifold air pressure (MAP), exhaust manifold back pressure (BckPress) and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) show very well agreement with the differences of less than 4%. Then this correlated model is used to predict the engine performance at various intake runner lengths (IRL) and various intake valve open (IVO) timings. Design of experiment and optimisation tool are applied to obtain optimum parameters. Here, several configurations of IRL and IVO timing are proposed to give several options during the engine development work. A significant improvement is found at configuration of variable IVO timing and variable IRL compared to fixed IVO timing and fixed IRL.
