reactivity controlled compression ignition (rcci) is a novel combustion concept which uses port fuel injection (pfi) of a low reactivity fuel and direct injection (di) of a high reactivity fuel with optimum multiple injection to provide a stratified mixture inside the combustion chamber. piston bowl design has a considerable effect on engine’s pollutant emissions specially unburned hydrocarbons...

In this paper a mathematical simulation of a simplified internal combustion engine is presented. To contribute engine kinematics and its geometry, simple relations are derived for constrained motions. The equation of motion for the piston forms a singular boundary value problem. The uniqueness of the solution was studied in the Banach space. For solving governing equations an iterative numerica...

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...

The piston ring assembly is one of the key parts of internal combustion engine. Its performance decides engine power loss to over come friction force and determines the performance of the whole engine. As per the literature review it is reported 40 to 50 % of the total mechanical friction losses in piston ring cylinder wall interface. The present work mainly focused on study of basic tribologic...

Free-piston engines are under investigation by a number of research groups worldwide, as an alternative to conventional technology in applications such as electric and hydraulic power generation. The piston dynamics of the freepiston engine differ significantly from those of conventional engines, and this may influence in-cylinder gas motion, combustion and emissions formation. Due to the compl...

This paper is devoted to study the effects of pressure drop in heat exchangers on the dynamics of a free piston Stirling engine. First, the dynamic equations governing the pistons as well as the gas pressure equations for hot and cold spaces of the engine are extracted. Then, by substituting the obtained pressure equations into the dynamic relationships the final nonlinear dynamic equations gov...

The gas force due to the combustion in the cylinder of an IC engine will cause the piston to move with primary motion and secondary motion. The primary motion of the piston from TDC to BDC is linear in nature. This motion is desired for translation of motion of engine components. Secondary motion is due to the transverse motion of the piston while piston moving from TDC to BDC and vice-versa. T...

In modern engines with higher compression ratios, severe pressures and non-uniform heating up is occurred for the engine parts. The piston as the most critical part among all automotive components has been the subject of numerous studies on calculation of temperature distribution, but thermal stress analyses are limited. In this study, the piston of gasoline engine XU7 which is widespread in Ir...

Free-piston diesel engines are characterized by freely moving pistons without any crankshaft or camshaft connected to the pistons. This allows a compact and efficient engine design, but requires automatic control of the piston motion. This paper present a dynamic mathematical model of a free-piston diesel engine, and a control oriented dynamic analysis leading to a piston motion control structu...
