Abstract:
An integration-type flowmeter, composed of an ultrasonic flowmeter and an integration circuit, is used to measure the air mass for transient air-fuel ratio (AFR) control of a port fuel injection (PFI) spark ignition engine. Also, the air mass and required fuel mass in the cylinder are accurately calculated for precise AFR control. The proposed method can significantly improve the accuracy of measuring air mass inducted through a throttle valve. Air mass passing into a cylinder is estimated using the measured air mass at the throttle valve and intake manifold pressure. A simple two-constant fue

In practice, gasoline engine torque is improved using hydrogen-hydrogen-oxygen gas (HHO) supplementation, which adheres to the fixed HHO flow rate method. However, the arising hypothesis reveals that the fixed HHO flow rate method does not optimally improve an engine’s air-fuel ratio (AFR) for various loads, so engine torque is not optimal. The research aims to propose a model of an adaptive HHO controller, which manages the electric current of the HHO generator so that the produced HHO flow rate adapts to engine speed and load variations.

The air fuel ratio (AFR) control is one of the effective methods to reduce emission and fuel consumption in spark ignition (SI) engines. Due to the hard nonlinearities existing in the engine dynamics model, a nonlinear controller should be designed for AFR control. In this Paper, an optimization-based nonlinear control law is developed for injected fuel mass flow to maintain AFR in the stoichiometric value. Simulation results show that the AFR in the controlled system is very close to the desired value, unlike the uncontrolled system in which the AFR has intensive fluctuations.

Abstract:
&lt;div class="section abstract"&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;An innovative carburetor system has been developed for use in single cylinder small engines. The carburetor has been implemented on a 79cc 4 stroke portable gasoline generator for the purposes of illustrating its effect in reducing emissions, engine deposits and improving fuel economy without re-jetting the carburetor. This method of carburetion dynamically tunes the venturi effect in the carburetor, allowing for air density, fuel viscosity and fuel type compensation for optimal AFR. Modified and stock generators were te

Abstract:
With increasingly demanding regulations on engine emission and fuel efficiency, the optimization of the internal combustion engine and the after-treatment integrated system has become a critical research focus. To address such an issue, this paper aims to achieve a better trade-off between the fuel consumption of a spark-ignited (SI) engine and emission conversion efficiencies of a Three-Way Catalytic converter (TWC) system. A Model Predictive Control (MPC)-based integrated engine and TWC control methodology is presented, which is able to optimize Air/Fuel Ratio (AFR) to maintain oxygen storag

Abstract:
Emissions compliance of stationary engines can be successful with the application of a non-selective catalytic reduction (NSCR) after treatment system. To accomplish this, the equivalence ratio (?) must be precisely controlled within a narrow range near stoichiometric conditions. The ability for Air Fuel Ratio (AFR) control systems to maintain the engine equivalence ratio in the required narrow operating range long term under field conditions has not been established. This project builds upon prior work at the Colorado State University (CSU) Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory (EECL) to d

Abstract:
Prior PRCI funded projects, identified the ability of a Continuous Engine Performance Monitor, (CEPM) to fulfill the likelihood of industry acceptance as a Performance Monitoring alternative to a Continuous Emission Monitoring System CEMS in future monitoring requirements for typical pipeline engines. This current project installed a CEPM monitoring system on a pipeline engine equipped with a CEMS and assessed the ability of this CEPM system to detect potential engine emission excursions. In summary, successful implementation of a CEPM system requires functioning knowledge of the test engine i

Abstract:
This research evaluates the effects of variable fuel quality on a large bore 2 stroke natural gas engine by varying ethane in the fuel gas from 5 to 25%. Four control strategies were evaluated at ~2 g/bhp-hr NOx, constant boost control, trapped gas ratio (TGR) control, trapped equivalence ratio (TER) control and a novel NOx sensor feedback control methodology. These control approaches were evaluated during variations in intake manifold temperature, relative humidity, ethane volume percentage, and engine speed.

Full text
Abstract:
The reduction or even elimination of cylinder to cylinder combustion variation and cycle-to-cycle combustion instability may result in further nitrous oxides (NOx) reductions at the same engine average air/fuel ratio (and hence turbocharger operating point) or allow operation at a leaner air/fuel ratio before the onset of instability. Reductions in imbalance and instability can also reduce carbon pollutant emissions, reduce break specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and improve engine operability. Achieving these goals requires a better understanding of the sources and impacts of that imbalance an

Full text
Abstract:
Turbochargers are used to either increase engine power output or reduce air pollutants by increasing the trapped air-to-fuel ratio. An increasing need has arisen for the turbocharger compressor to operate at an ever-increasing pressure ratio while maintaining a broad operating range. Unfortunately, the operational physics of a turbocharger limits the operating range as the pressure ratio is increased. This project evaluates the alternatives to increase the engine operating range by using variable vanes on turbocharger compressor.

Abstract:
Further reductions in NOx emissions while maintaining optimum engine performance can only be obtained by improving engine combustion control at the cylinder level. This requires cylinder level sensors capable of continuously monitoring combustion performance in both the main combustion chamber (MCC) and the pre-combustion chamber (PCC) and electronically actuated valves that can respond to those measurements. Until recently, in-PCC combustion measurements on spark ignited engines were only possible in the laboratory using very expensive pressure sensors with extremely short lives. Ion Sense of
