In this paper we analyze the nonlinear dynamic behavior of an internal exhaust gas recirculation system based on a mean-value model of an experimental automotive engine equipped with a camshaft phaser. We develop a control scheme that adjusts camshaft timing to reduce feedgas emissions while maintaining transient engine torque response similar to that of a conventional engine with zero exhaust ...

This report contains the work of the capstone design team, assigned to design a comprehensive, cost effective, monitoring system for gas turbine engines. The main objective of the design was to produce a system capable of detecting and recording only special conditions or events. As a sample engine, the SR-30 gas turbine was used. A simulation of the engine using GSP software provided a model. ...

The lean-burn capability of the Diesel-ignited gas engine combined with its potential for high efficiency and low CO2 emissions makes this engine concept one of the most promising alternative fuel converters for passenger cars. Instead of using a spark plug, the ignition relies on the compression-ignited Diesel fuel providing ignition centers for the homogeneous air-gas mixture. In this study t...

The aim of this article was the development of the gas-dynamic models allowing to calculate the working processes of the gas turbine engine (GTE) in the compressor, in the combustion chamber and in the turbine at the same time. The possibilities of software systems for complex engine workflow modeling are specified. The advantages and disadvantages of the presented methods are specified. The re...

Presented paper shows results of laboratory tests on the relationship between the throttling of a cross area of an air intake duct and the composition of exhaust gas from the marine engine. The object of research is a laboratory four-stroke diesel engine, worked with a load from 50kW to 250kW at a constant speed. During the laboratory, tests over 50 parameters were measured of the engine with t...

In this paper we analyze the nonlinear dynamic be havior of an internal exhaust gas recirculation system based on the mean value model of an experimental en gine equipped with a camshaft phaser We develop a dynamic camshaft timing schedule that regulates the in ternal exhaust gas recirculation system while maintain ing transient engine torque response similar to an engine with zero exhaust gas ...

This paper describes a method for constructing a model of normal system state for the purpose of providing continuous condition monitoring of an aerospace gas-turbine engine. We show how the model can be visualised in 2D to allow an intuitive identification of abnormal engine and how periods of abnormal engine condition can be identified by means of a novelty score. This approach is illustrated...

Using a van der Waals gas as the working substance the so called Curzon and Ahlborn-Novikov engine is studied. It is shown that some previous results found in the literature of finite time thermodynamics can be written in a more general form, means of this gas and by taking a non linear heat transfer law. 1. Introduction In classical equilibrium thermodynamics the efficiency of a reversible the...

The objective of this study is to investigate the combustion in a pilot-ignited supercharged dual-fuel engine, fueled with different types of gaseous fuels under various equivalence ratios. It is found that if certain operating conditions are maintained, conventional dual-fuel engine combustion mode can be transformed to the combustion mode with the two-stage heat release. This mode of combusti...
