Abstract:

In low ambient temperatures the engine will have poor output torque and power generation at the first cycles of its performance, long start time and huge noxious emissions because of insufficient temperature and quality of air-fuel mixture and failure of flame to burn the charge. It is noted that any attempt to increase the charge temperature leads to better combustion conditions. By applying thin ceramic coating over the piston top surface and increasing the temperature of engine inner walls, more efficient combustion in shorter time can be provided for the engine. In current research, a transient thermal study is developed for simulating the engine performance under cold starting conditions and predicting the effect of insulating layer thickness on the charge temperature before ignition timing. The results demonstrate that the ceramic coating can provide higher temperature for piston crown and effectively improve the temperature of charge during the first cranking cycles of engine cold start stage.

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

an investigation of the impact of self monitoring on langauge teachers motivational practice and its effect on learners motivation

the central purpose of this study was to conduct a case study about the role of self monitoring in teacher’s use of motivational strategies. furthermore it focused on how these strategies affected students’ motivational behavior. although many studies have been done to investigate teachers’ motivational strategies use (cheng & d?rnyei, 2007; d?rnyei & csizer, 1998; green, 2001, guilloteaux & d?...

Experimental study of piston scuffing effect on engine performance parameters

Piston scuffing is one of the destructive faults in internal combustion (IC) engines. There are different causes to make this fault that lack of lubricant is the most important one among them. The purpose of this paper is the quantitative study of the piston scuffing effects on the engine performance parameters which is a new research direction in the IC engine filed. For this reason, several e...

Investigation of the effect of piston geometrical parameters on RCCI engine performance based on second law of thermodynamic

The reactivity controlled compression ignition engines have high thermal efficiency and low exhaust emission of nitrogen oxides and soot because of low temperature combustion. In this type of engines, low reactivity fuel is injected to air through intake port and high reactivity fuel is injected into the combustion chamber during compression stroke. The aim of current study is to investigate th...
