Nowadays, natural gas conforms to the conditions of environmental protection and renewable energy, which plays a significant role in the future development of mankind. It has made some progress in applying natural gas to the automotive industry. As we all know that the source power of automobile comes from engine, therefore, based on the study on the control algorithm of gas engine, this paper ...

A regenerative organic Rankine cycle (RORC) is modeled and optimized for the use of waste heat recovery from a prime mover (PM). Three PMs including, a diesel engine, a gas engine, and a microturbine are selected in this study. Four refrigerants including isobutane, R123, R134a, and R245fa are selected. The nominal capacity of the PM, PM operating partial load, turbine inlet pressure, condenser...

This paper presents an experimental investigation of various exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rates on the engine performance like brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption and brake power and engine exhaust gas emission parameters like nitrogen oxides(NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon(HC) and particulate matter (PM) for the fuel used in the engine. Four observations are ma...

In this research, the development of a diesel engine thermal overload monitoring system is presented with applications and test results. The designed diesel engine thermal overload monitoring system consists of two set of sensors, i.e., a lambda sensor to measure the oxygen concentration and a fast response thermocouple to measure the temperature of the gas leaving the cylinder. A medium speed ...

The paper shows a test results of single cylinder, direct injected, self ignited dual fuel engine. One has analysed a combustion parameters calculated on base of recorded indicator diagrams. The comparison included: the ignition delay period, the cylinder pressure, the rate of pressure rise, the average medium temperature, the heat release rate, the total combustion time and the indicated effic...

nowadays, due to the increasing power of diesel engines, especially heavy duty diesel engines, and increasing gas pressure inside the combustion chamber, the forces acting on the engine bearings have dramatically raised. on the other hand, becaus eof the competition in the market, it is necessary to increase the engine bearing life and reduce its failure as much as possible. the engine bearings...

the hcci combustion process is initiated due to auto-ignition of fuel/air mixture which is dominated by chemical kinetics and therefore fuel composition has a significant effect on engine operation and a detailed reaction mechanism is essential to analysis hcci combustion. a single zone-model permits to have a detailed chemical kinetics modeling for practical fuels. in this study a single-zone ...

The preparation of air–fuel mixture is considerably dependent on fluid flow dynamics to achieve improved performance, efficiency, and engine combustion in the appearance of flow. In this study, the effects of mixtures of hydrogen and compressed natural gas (CNG) on a spark ignition engine are numerically considered. This article presents the results of a direct-injection engine using methane–hy...

In order to use gaseous fuels in Diesel Engines, Dual-Fuel Diesel Engine (D. F. D. E) the pilot injection approach is chosen. To predict its performance, an engine cycle model, based on limited-pressure Diesel cycle, is constructed. The model predicts D. F. D. E performance with LPG, and CNG gases. Comparing with pure Diesel engine, by increasing gas proportion in dual-fuel, indicated power and...
