    The narrower environmental restrictions are the current challenge that Diesel engine manufacturers are facing in the last years. The demand on cleaner emissions (both for NOx and soot), the fuel consumption reduction and the customer claim for improved engine performance are variables that should be matched to attend the legislation and market requirements. The search for these problems solution is a target that needs to be continuously reached, as the limits for emissions are year-by-year being updated and becoming more and more severe. Also, fossil fuel saving is a must for the future trends due to the reduction of its global reserves, the high cost associated with new fuel sources research and the greenhouse effect. Besides the external demands, the automotive industry is on a process to reduce costs and improve its efficacy. Time-to-market reduction, less validation tests and prototypes generation, smarter solutions and more robust design are only some of the achievements that are being sought. On this way, the use of numerical simulation is a powerful and significant tool. In order to reduce emission levels, some external engine features can be applied, such as EGR or after-treatment systems. The optimization of the piston bowl and injector design may also bring significant improvements on NOx and soot reduction. Piston bowl profile, injector nozzle diameter and angle, injector position on combustion chamber, and calibration variables (injection start, fuel mass, etc..) are some of the parameters that can be set for this purpose. The larger use of EGR system is a trend for the upcoming Diesel engines as it is…

    • 4 Pages

    As everyone knows, an internal combustion engine needs fuel to operate. Fuel is delivered to the engine by means of the fuel system. The fuel system must be self-contained and efficient so that it will properly energize the engine and will take up as little space as possible necessary to its mechanical functioning. An internal combustion engines fuel system is, literally, the heart of the engine.…

    Oxygen Sensor

    • 3 Pages

    Automotive oxygen sensors, colloquially known as O2 sensors, make modern electronic fuel injection and emission control possible. They help determine, in real time, if the air fuel ratio of a combustion engine is rich or lean. Since oxygen sensors are located in the exhaust stream, they do not directly measure the air or the fuel entering the engine. But when information from oxygen sensors are coupled with information from other sources, they can be used to indirectly determine the air-to-fuel ratio.…

    Most people today fill up their car with different qualities of gasoline, because that's what the average car takes. They don't usually consider alternative sources to, fill up their cars with. Although gasoline is widely used, it is not the only source of power. Diesel and electricity are other choices you have. Diesel is a more concentrated type of fuel that is usually used by big automobiles because they require a lot of power in a little amount of time. Electricity is a method that uses the power of batteries to produce a low horsepower but, nevertheless a fast automobile. Electric cars are generally created to be soundless and environmentally friendly. The purpose of this paper is to classify and educate the reader on the different types of fuel available for an automobile to use: gasoline, diesel, and electricity.…

    Split Cycle Ic Engine

    • 2383 Words
    • 10 Pages

    Abstract—The Split-Cycle Engine changes the heart of the conventional engine by dividing (or splitting) the four strokes of the Otto cycle over a paired combination of one compression cylinder and one power cylinder. Gas is compressed in the compression cylinder and transferred to the power cylinder through a gas passage. The gas passage includes a set of uniquely timed valves, which maintain a prechargedpressure through all four strokes of the cycle. Shortly after the piston in the power cylinder reaches its top dead center position, the gas is quickly transferred to the power cylinder and fired (or combusted) to produce the power stroke. Split-cycle internal combustion engine claims have the potential to double fuel efficiency for same size engine, while reducing the manufacturing price by up to 50% which includes a built in dedicated compressor. Rather than using batteries and electric motors/generators to harness braking energy, the engine uses the air compressor. A split cycle engine includes a novel compressor apparatus driven by the combustion engine, a closed-cycle refrigeration system in cooperation with the compressor apparatus, and a pneumatic motor driven by compressed air from the compressor apparatus. Refrigerant in the compressor absorbs thermal energy from compressed air and assists in compressing the air. High-pressure air from the compressor is stored in a storage tank and may be used to drive the pneumatic motor or other auxiliary equipment in addition to providing high-pressure combustion air for the internal combustion engine…
