Abstract:
Due to the passenger’s security, the recognized hidden faults in car engines are the most important work for a maintenance engineer, so they can regulate the engines to be safe and improve the reliability of automobile systems. In this paper, we will present a novel fault recognition method based on the genetic algorithm (GA) and the extension theory and also apply this method to the fault recognition of a practical car engine. The proposed recognition method has been tested on the Nissan Cefiro 2.0 engine and has also been compared to other traditional classification methods. Experimental res

Abstract:
To reduce emissions, CNG engines are commonly equipped with three-way catalytic converters. However when the engines run at transient conditions, the air fuel ratio can not be precisely controlled at theoretical value by traditional means, so the catalytic converters can not achieve their desired effect. This paper presents a new method for CNG engines to control air fuel ratio at transient conditions. The moments which intake and exhaust valves open are used as the trigger signals for ECU to collect the test data simultaneously. The dynamic information of CNG engine is detected by multiple se

The reliability of automotive internal combustion engines is a function of the reliability of their mechanisms and systems. For many years, domestic and foreign engineers have tested many auto-tractor internal combustion engines and it has been proven that if mathematical models reliably describe physical phenomena, cycles or processes that take place in engines, then the theory of small deviations for theoretical research is much better than any experiment on control characteristics and many second parameters The theory of small deviations for fuel equipment of autotractor diesel engines is c

Abstract:
This article is based on the fundamental thermodynamics theory to analyze the difference between the turbojet and turbofan engines. The result of this article is that the turbofan engine is suitable for commercial use since it consumes less fuel and has a higher bypass ratio than the turbojet engine. But low bypass ratio engines can serve the military since they have a smaller volume and higher speed, suitable for air combat. The turbojet engine can travel at a supersonic speed since it has extremely high jet flow from the nozzle and much higher fuel consumption, so it is for military use. Thi

We also compared the obtained efficiencies with the carnot efficiency which is the maximum efficiency that is achievable for any heat engine.

Almost immediately after Rudolph Diesel created his "rational" engine, attempts were made to improve it. Since at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, the theory of internal combustion engines had not yet been formed as a unified scientific system, there were no unified approaches to assessing the innovations proposed by individual engineers and scientists either. In this regard, disputes and litigations periodically arose related to the recognition of priority for a specific design or the proposed principle of work for a specific author.

A ratchet is an asymmetric, non-equilibrated system that can produce a directed current of particles without the need for macroscopic potential gradients. In rocked quantum electron ratchets, tunnelling and wave-reflection can induce reversals in the direction of the net current as a function of system parameters. An asymmetric quantum point contact in a GaAs/GaAlAs heterostructure has been studied experimentally as a realisation of a quantum electron ratchet. A Landauer model predicts reversals in the direction of the net current as a function of temperature, amplitude of the rocking voltage,

A recent development in the design of control system for a jet engine is to use a suitable, fast and accurate model running on board. Development of linear models is particularly important as most engine control designs are based on linear control theory. Engine control performance can be significantly improved by increasing the accuracy of the developed model. Current state-of-the-art is to use piecewise linear models at selected equilibrium conditions for the development of set point controllers, followed by scheduling of resulting controller gains as a function of one or more of the system

Abstract:
Developing a reliable means of predicting and controlling engine operation at various operating conditions may be a reasonable pathway for meeting increasingly stringent engine emission regulations. In order to do so, estimates of the mixture composition at the end of the gas exchange process (i.e. at exhaust port closure, or EPC) are helpful for having accurate models of engine combustion. A substantial fraction of the trapped charge mixture is composed of residual gases from previous cycles. This fraction, the trapped residual fraction, changes combustion characteristics of the trapped mixtu

Abstract:
In 2001, the Compressor and Pump Station Technical Committee (CAPSTC) recognized the importance of cylinder level sensing and control to minimize NOx emissions while maintaining optimum engine performance, therefore, a CAPSTC member brought the concept of ion sense to the committee as an alternative to fiber optic pressure sensors for continuous combustion performance monitoring. Derived from automotive technology, ion sense utilizes post ignition ionization measurements from a standard spark plug to monitor the combustions process. Based on successful feasibility tests at Colorado State Unive

Abstract:
The large-bore, slow-speed, two-stroke natural gas engines that frequently power natural gas pipelines are the subjects of increasingly stringent emissions standards, particularly those targeting emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as methane and carbon dioxide. Running these engines near their lean limits of operation reduces combustion temperature and therefore NOx emissions but at the cost of increased misfires and combustion instability, thus increasing GHG emissions. A pre-combustion chamber (PCC) can be equipped to provide a high-energy ignition source

Abstract:
At natural gas pipeline compressor stations, methane emissions from compressor and engine crankcases are often vented directly into the atmosphere. There may be advantages to capturing these emissions and using them to offset fuel usage and / or decrease the overall carbon footprint of such a typical compressor station. This study evaluates the feasibility of directing such captured emissions into the intake of the compressor engine and subsequently combusting the methane emissions into carbon dioxide and water. Although seemingly an obvious or trivial solution, there are in fact several chall
