Engine models that are used for nonlinear diesel engine control, state estimation, and model-based diagnostics are presented in this paper. By collecting, modifying, and adding to current available engine modeling techniques, two diesel engine models, a mean torque production model and a cylinder-by-cylinder model, are summarized for use in the formulation of control and state observation algorithms. In the cylinder-by-cylinder model, a time-varying crankshaft inertia model is added to a cylinder pressure generator to simulate engine speed variations due to discrete combustion events. Fuel injection timing and duration are control inputs while varying engine speed, cylinder pressure, and indicated torque are outputs from simulation. These diesel engine models can be used as engine simulators and to design diesel engine controllers and observers.

Typical conventional diesel engine designs are based on arrangements of single piston and cylinder sets placed sequentially either in-line or offset (“V”) along the crankshaft. The development of other engines, such as the opposed piston type, has been motivated by potential advantages seen in such designs, which may not be viable in conventional in-line or V engine arrangements. Several alternatives to conventional engine design have been investigated in the past and some aspects of these designs have been utilized by engine manufacturers. The design and development of a proof-of-concept opposed piston diesel engine is summarized in this paper. An overview of opposed-piston engines is presented from early developments to current designs. The engine developed in this work is a two stroke and uses four pistons, which move in two parallel cylinders that straddle a single crankshaft. A prechamber equipped with a single fuel injector connects the two cylinders, forming a single combustion chamber. The methodology of the engine development process is discussed along with details of component design. Experimental evaluations of the assembled proof-of-concept engine were used for determining feasibility of the design concept. An electric dynamometer was used to motor the engine and for loading purposes. The dynamometer is instrumented for monitoring both speed and torque. Engine parameters measured include air flow rate, fuel consumption rate, inlet air and exhaust temperatures, and instantaneous cylinder gas pressure as a function of crank position. The results of several testing runs are presented and discussed.

In recent years, the Low speed two stroke diesel engines are widely used as the main power device of big ship for its so many advantages such as the high power, better economical efficiency and good maintenance. However, the problem of diesel strong vibration and noise becomes a more and more serious at the same time. Because of the Construction Features of marine two-stroke low-speed diesel engine, the structure has to be suffered different kind of forces when it runs. In considering the source of vibration, the whole noise can be divided into combustion noise、machinery noise and aerodynamic noise. The combustion noise caused by cylinder pressure is the most important part of diesel noise. In this paper, the cylinder pressure curves are tested. The internal combustion engine dynamics and the equivalent node load are used in the calculation procedure to achieve the real condition simulation. The loading program is made to simulate the change of cylinder pressure and the move of piston. The transient response of the diesel engine is calculated. The characteristics of diesel caused by cylinder pressure are analyzed.The response analysis can be used to the vibration control.

Durability is very important for current diesel engines. Diesel engine manufacturers are trying to make the engines live as long as possible before overhaul. The time to overhaul for an engine is usually dictated by high oil consumption or blowby. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how wear affects the cylinder kit dynamics, oil consumption, and blowby in an engine. This paper explores the effect of power cylinder component (rings and cylinder bore) wear by using a cylinder kit dynamics model. The model predicts how wear will affect ring motion, inter-ring gas pressure, blowby, etc. The parameters studied were: liner wear, ring face wear, and ring side wear. Two different engines were modeled. The characteristics of these two engines are very different. As a result, the effects of wear are different and the corresponding durability will be different. This illustrates the need to model each individual type of engine separately. The modeling shows that top ring face wear is very significant for maintaining good oil and blowby control. Liner wear is important, but does not have as large an effect as ring wear. The effects of side wear are significant for these two cases. [S0742-4795(00)00203-9]

Agriculture needed a simple engine running on cheap fuel to switch to mechanical traction. Due to its simplicity and ability to work on oil, colorization engines have become widespread, including in agriculture. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in identifying the key issues that influenced the creation of diesel engines with divided combustion chamber: indirect, pre-chamber, as well as studying the story of the creation of the indirect diesel, the first diesel tractors. (Materials and methods) The article notes the importance of the International Congress of figures involved in the construction and use of internal combustion engines, and the exhibition organized at the same time. The exhibition presents 95 engines, 23 of them were created at Russian factories. The holding of the international event and the wide participation of domestic engine manufacturers in it testified to the development of engine design in Russia. (Results and discussion) The article notes that despite the success of the world engine building, the problem of creating a lightweight diesel of high specific power, suitable for installation on automotive equipment, has not been solved yet. The article consideres the history of creation of a high-speed turbocharged diesel engine with a "soft" flow of the working stroke. (Conclusions) A two-cylinder pre-chamber diesel engine with a capacity of 18 kilowatts (25 horsepower) at 800 rpm by P. L'Orange was produced by Benz & Cie in 1922 and intended for agricultural machinery. The Benz-Sendling S6 motor plow with the Benz & Cie diesel was launched in March 1923. In addition to three-wheeled tractors and motor plows, since 1923, Benz and Sendling have offered a four-wheeled model of the BK diesel tractor. The first serial diesel tractor in Europe is considered to be the Deutz tractor. Produced in 1927, the MTH 222 tractor was equipped with a 14-horsepower single-cylinder engine with an additional chamber.

Full textAbstract:
Biodiesel plays a major role as one of the alternative fuel options in direct injection diesel engines for more than a decade. Though many feed stocks are employed for making biodiesel worldwide, biodiesel derived from domestically available non-edible feed stocks such as Jatropha curcas L. is the most promising alternative engine fuel option especially in developing countries. Since experimental analysis of the engine is pricey as well as more time consuming and laborious, a theoretical thermodynamic model is necessary to analyze the performance characteristics of jatropha biodiesel fueled diesel engine. There were many experimental studies of jatropha biodiesel fueled diesel engine reported in the literature, yet theoretical study of this biodiesel run diesel engine is scarce. This work presents a theoretical thermodynamic study of single cylinder four stroke direct injection diesel engine fueled with biodiesel derived from jatropha oil. The two zone thermodynamic model developed in the present study computes the in-cylinder pressure and temperature histories in addition to various performance parameters. The results of the model are validated with experimental values for a reasonable agreement. The variation of cylinder pressure with crank angle for various models are also compared and presented. The effects of injection timing, relative air fuel ratio and compression ratio on the engine performance characteristics for diesel and jatropha biodiesel fuels are then investigated and presented in the paper.

With the increasing strictness of emission regulations, development direction of future diesel engines is toward the high thermal efficiency and low emissions. Supercharging technology is an important means for improving output power of diesel engines. This paper deals with the study of the two-stage turbocharging system of the non-road diesel engine. Based on GT-Power software code, a digital model of 6112 diesel engine was established. The supercharged model was calibrated by using the original experimental data. Then, four types of digital models with different two-stage turbocharging systems were constructed. The best two-stage turbocharging system was determined through investigating the impacts of different options on the performance of diesel engines. It was indicated through the study that two-stage turbocharging system can substantially increase the air flowing into the cylinder which increases the potential of power density. At the same time HC and NOx emissions can reduce. Through this study, a theoretical basis and an important reference for adopting the two-stage turbocharging system of the 6112 diesel engine were provided.

To predict accurately the stress and deformation of combustion chamber components of large slow speed two stroke marine diesel engines, based on AVL Fire and ANSYS Workbench software, multi-field coupling modeling and analysis technology was employed to carry out the strength analysis for combustion chamber components of crosshead type marine diesel engine. The boundary conditions, i.e., the temperature field distribution, the mean temperature and the mean heat transfer coefficient are obtained firstly. Then the strength analysis for cylinder liner of crosshead type marine diesel engine under the thermal loads, mechanical loads and thermal mechanical coupled loads was conducted. The results show that the strength meets the design requirement and the stress concentration and the deformation of the cylinder liner were mainly dependent on the thermal load.

The flow field within the cylinder of internal combustion engines is the most important factor controlling the combustion process. Thus it has a major impact on engine operation. This paper reviews those aspects of gas motion into, within, and out of the engine cylinder that govern the combustion characteristics and breathing capabilities of spark-ignition engines and compression-ignition or diesel engines. Necessary background information on reciprocating engine operating cycles, the primary effect of piston motion and the spark-ignition and diesel engine combustion processes is first summarized. Then the characteristics of flow through inlet and exhaust valves in four-stroke cycle engines, and through ports in the cylinder liner in two-stroke cycle engines are reviewed. These flows govern the airflow through the engine, and set up the in-cylinder flow that controls the subsequent combustion process. The essential features of common in-cylinder flows—the large scale rotating flows set up by the conical intake jet, the creation and development of swirl about the cylinder axis, the flows produced during compression due to combustion chamber shape called squish, flow during the combustion process, and two-stroke scavenging flows—are then described. The turbulence characteristics of these flows are then defined and discussed. Finally, flow phenomena which occur near the walls, which are important to heat transfer and hydrocarbon emissions phenomena, are reviewed. The primary emphasis is on developing insight regarding these important flow phemomena which occur within the cylinder. To this end, results from many different research techniques—experimental and computational, established and new—have been used as resources. It is the rapidly increasing convergence of engine flow information from these many sources that make this an exciting topic with promise of significant practical contributions.

Abstract This paper concerns analysis of possible use of alcohols for the feeding of self - ignition and spark-ignition engines operating in a dual- fuel mode, i.e. simultaneously combusting alcohol and diesel oil or alcohol and petrol. Issues associated with the requirements for application of bio-fuels were presented with taking into account National Index Targets, bio-ethanol production methods and dynamics of its production worldwide and in Poland. Te considerations are illustrated by results of the tests on spark- ignition and self- ignition engines fed with two fuels: petrol and methanol or diesel oil and methanol, respectively. Te tests were carried out on a 1100 MPI Fiat four- cylinder engine with multi-point injection and a prototype collector fitted with additional injectors in each cylinder. Te other tested engine was a SW 680 six- cylinder direct- injection diesel engine. Influence of a methanol addition on basic operational parameters of the engines and exhaust gas toxicity were analyzed. Te tests showed a favourable influence of methanol on combustion process of traditional fuels and on some operational parameters of engines. An addition of methanol resulted in a distinct rise of total efficiency of both types of engines at maintained output parameters (maximum power and torque). In the same time a radical drop in content of hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides in exhaust gas was observed at high shares of methanol in feeding dose of ZI (petrol) engine, and 2-3 fold lower smokiness in case of ZS (diesel) engine. Among unfavourable phenomena, a rather insignificant rise of CO and NOx content for ZI engine, and THC and NOx - for ZS engine, should be numbered. It requires to carry out further research on optimum control parameters of the engines. Conclusions drawn from this work may be used for implementation of bio-fuels to feeding the combustion engines.

The utilization of jatropha oil in a small capacity laboratory diesel engine was investigated. The Jatropha biodiesel was obtained from National Research Institute for Chemical Technology, Zaria - Nigeria. The biodiesel was within the EN, BIS and Brazil specification for biodiesel. The tested blends were 20/80%, 30/70%, 40/60% and 50/50%. Each blend was tested on a short term trial of one hour. 20/80% jatropha oil/diesel blend addition gave the maximum brake power and thermal efficiency. The exhaust gas temperatures of the jatropha oil/diesel blends were lower than that of diesel signifying lower heat loss. The percentage heat losses were lower when operated on higher jatropha oil/diesel blends. For economy of fuel, 20/80% gave specific fuel consumption values when compared to other jatropha oil/diesel blends at all engine speeds. Higher volumetric efficiencies were obtained for lower engine speeds of jatropha oil/diesel blends. Air/fuel ratio shows a decreasing trend with increase in jatropha oil content in jatropha oil/diesel blends. There was no reaction of the jatropha oil/diesel blends with engine parts as there was no engine starting problems, wear out of components or breakdown. No long term assessment, emission characteristics or endurance tests including breakdown of jatropha oil biodiesel were carried out. The research found that 20/80% blend of jatropha oil/diesel blend gave the best performance amongst all blends It is recommended that 20/80% jatropha oil/diesel blend should be used to supplement fossil fuel.

The author posits that a model constructed from ideal processes is the most desirable starting point for analysis of real power machinery, and then presents means of following this concept in the case of a closed-cycle diesel engine. The traditional air-standard limited-pressure cycle is found unsuitable for this application in that it offers only an unrealistic constant-volume cooling as the model for the processes that must occur between cylinder exhaust and cylinder intake. The present paper substitutes isentropic expansion, throttling and constant-pressure cooling as being suitable ideal models for the actual processes. Equations are presented and sample calculations are given for the cylinder-to-cylinder part of an ideal cycle representing a four-stroke naturally aspirated engine. Two alternatives are also discussed via examples: an engine with partial bypassing of untreated exhaust gas to the cylinder intake and a two-stroke engine with blower or compressor driven by an exhaust gas turbine. A closing example is given to demonstrate one way in which the analyses can be used to find the effect of external process states an engine-cycle output.

Increased environmental awareness and depletion of fossil petroleum resources are driving industry to develop alternative fuels that are environmentally more acceptable. Transesterified vegetable oil derivatives called ‘biodiesel’ appear to be the most convenient way of utilizing bio-origin vegetable oils as substitute fuels in diesel engines. The methyl esters of vegetable oils do not require significant modification of existing engine hardware. Previous research has shown that biodiesel has comparable performance and lower brake specific fuel consumption than diesel with significant reduction in emissions of CO, hydrocarbons (HC), and smoke but slightly increased NO x emissions. In the present experimental research work, methyl ester of rice-bran oil is derived through transesterification of rice-bran oil using methanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) catalyst. Experimental investigations have been carried out to examine the combustion characteristics in a direct injection transportation diesel engine running with diesel, biodiesel (rice-bran oil methyl ester), and its blends with diesel. Engine tests were performed at different engine loads ranging from no load to rated (100 per cent) load at two different engine speeds (1400 and 1800 r/min). A careful analysis of the cylinder pressure rise, heat release, and other combustion parameters such as the cylinder peak combustion pressure, rate of pressure rise, crank angle at which peak pressure occurs, rate of pressure rise, and mass burning rates was carried out. All test fuels exhibited similar combustion stages as diesel; however, biodiesel blends showed an earlier start of combustion and lower heat release during premixed combustion phase at all engine load-speed combinations. The maximum cylinder pressure reduces as the fraction of biodiesel increases in the blend and, at higher engine loads, the crank angle position of the peak cylinder pressure for biodiesel blends shifted away from the top dead centre in comparison with baseline diesel data. The maximum rate of pressure rise was found to be higher for diesel at higher engine loads; however, combustion duration was higher for biodiesel blends.

This paper presents new insight into the causes of cylinder-to-cylinder variation in swirl torque and airflow in uniflow scavenged, two-stroke diesel engines. A V-6 model of such an engine was investigated as a flow rig under steady-state conditions. These variations were found to be primarily caused by the effect of the airbox walls on the air motion. The maximum difference in the baseline cylinder-to-cylinder swirl torque and airflow rate was 11 and 3.5 percent, respectively. Two airbox design modifications, resulting from the study, in turn demonstrated increased cylinder airflow rate and reduced cylinder-to-cylinder swirl torque variation on the flow rig.

More and more ship owners aspired to larger and more powerful diesel engines demanded from the marine engine manufacturers to implement various technological modifications to increase the engine efficiency, extend the life of engine components, and thus prolonge regular overhauling period of them. One of the way to meet these demands, among other things, is to improve the tribological characteristics of engine components. The aim of this paper is to present structural modification of tribological system “cylinder liner - piston ring - piston” of large bore slow speed marine diesel engine to reduce friction problems in mentioned system.

Two identical 1.9 litre direct injection (DI) diesel engines having optical access for application of laser diagnostics were operated at Volkswagen and Imperial College as part of the European programme (IDEA) on diesel engines. A variety of complementary laser-based techniques were used to characterize the flow-generating capacity of the intake system under steady flow conditions, the in-cylinder flow during induction and compression as well as the spray development, auto-ignition and combustion under three typical engine operating conditions. The most important results of this programme are presented and discussed here in view of their implications for improved combustion and reduction of exhaust emissions in small direct injection diesel engines, through better matching of the spray characteristics with the in-cylinder flow as a function of engine speed and load. The results were obtained in sufficient detail to allow validation of the multi-dimensional computer code developed within the IDEA programme.

Steady-state gaseous and particulate emissions data are presented from two 12-cylinder diesel locomotive engines. The two laboratory engines, a EMD 645E3B and a GE 7FDL, are rated at 1860 kW (2500 hp) and are representative of the majority of the locomotive fleet in North America. Each engine was tested for total hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and particulate. Emissions were measured at all steady-state operating conditions that make up the eight discrete locomotive throttle notch positions, plus idle, low idle, and dynamic brake. Emissions are reported for each engine with two different diesel fuels: a baseline diesel fuel with a sulfur content of 0.33 weight percent, and a commercially available low-sulfur diesel fuel with a sulfur content of 0.01 weight percent.

This study investigated the effects of premixed diesel fuel on the auto-ignition characteristics in a light duty compression ignition engine. A partial homogeneous chargecompression ignition (HCCI) engine was modified from a single cylinder, four-stroke, direct injection compression ignition engine. The partial HCCI is achieved by injecting diesel fuel into the intake port of the engine, while maintaining diesel fuel injected in cylinder for combustion triggering. The auto-ignition of diesel fuel has been studied at various premixed ratios from 0 to 0.60, under engine speed of 1600 rpm and 20Nm load. The results for performance, emissions and combustion were compared with those achieved without premixed fuel. From the heat release rate (HRR) profile which was calculated from in-cylinder pressure, it is clearly observed that two-stage and three-stage ignition were occurred in some of the cases. Besides, the increases of premixed ratio to some extent have significantly reduced in NO emission.

To reduce exhaust NOx and smoke, it is important to measure flame temperature and soot amount in combustion chamber. In diesel combustion it is effective to use the two-color method for the measurement of the flame temperature and KL factor, which is related with soot concentration. The diesel flame was directly and continuously observed from the combustion chamber at running engine condition by using a bore scope and a high-speed video camera. The experimental single cylinder engine has 2.0-liter displacement and has the ability with up to five times of the boost pressure than the naturally aspirated engine by external super-charger. The devices of High Boost, Wide Range and High EGR rate at keeping a relatively high excess air ratio were installed in this research engine in order to reduce exhaust NOx emission without smoke deterioration from diesel engines. The video camera nac GX-1 was used in this study. From observed data under the changing EGR rates, the flame temperature and KL factor were obtained by the software of two-color method analysis. The diesel combustion processes are understood well by analyzing high-speed movies of the diesel flame motion and its temperature. The NOx and smoke are mutually related to maximum flame temperature and also it is possible to reduce simultaneously both NOx and soot emissions by high EGR rate in a single cylinder diesel engine.

Calibration of the model parameters to eliminate prediction error. This calibration requires the definition of empirical correlation of two parameters namely mechanical delay and the injector nozzle discharge coefficient. Modeling validation is also given by presenting the result data and evaluating the output parameters of the engine. The result of the diesel engine in-cylinder model produces good predictions by applying a mechanical delay correlation for correction of injection time and correlation coefficient of discharge nozze injector.

The six-cylinder Cooper-Bessemer LSB engine has been converted to operate with one cylinder on coal-water slurry (CWS) fuel and with five cylinders operating on diesel fuel. This development followed the successful operation of the single-cylinder JS engine on CWS for over 600 hours to date. The CWS injection system was scaled up about a factor of two in fuel volume from the JS system. A new cam box drive was fabricated for the LSB single-cylinder operation. The engine was operated and full power output was achieved from the CWS cylinder. Preliminary test results indicate good operate efficiency. An exhaust emission control system is in place for the proposed operation of all the six cylinders on CWS and major engine components are on hand. These results mark a significant milestone in the progress toward commercial readiness of the coal-fueled diesel engine system.

A 6-cylinder, turbocharged, common rail heavy-duty diesel engine was used in this study. The effect of pilot injection strategies on diesel fuel combustion process, heat release rate, emission and economy of diesel engine is studied. The pilot injection strategies include pilot injection timing and pilot injection mass to achieve the homogeneous compression ignition and lower temperature combustion of diesel engine. The two-color method was applied to take the flame images in the engine cylinder and obtain soot concentration distribution. The results demonstrate that with the advance of pilot injection timing, the peak in-cylinder pressure becomes lower, the ignition delay of the main combustion is shortened, the NOXand soot emissions are reduced, but the HC and CO emissions are increased. With the increase of pilot injection fuel mass, the heat release rate of the pilot injection combustion and the maximum rate of pressure rise increase, NOXand HC emissions are higher, and PM and CO emissions are reduced. The pilot combustion flame is non-luminous.

The U.S. Department of Energy is sponsoring a General Electric Company development program for using coal-water slurry (CWS) to power a diesel engine and to test it in a locomotive. The first locomotive system test was successfully completed in 1991 on GE/TS test track. The first-phase coal-fueled 12-cylinder diesel engine used in the locomotive test employed a modified positive displacement fuel injection system and developed 2500 hp in the engine laboratory. The final phase all electric controlled fuel injection equipment (FIE) diesel engine has completed individual component development phases. Combustion research evaluated a broad range of CWS fuels with different source coals, particle sizes, and ash contents. The electronic controlled FIE single cylinder test engine yielded 99.5 percent combustion efficiency. Envelop filters and copper oxide sorbent have been chosen to clean up the engine emissions after extensive evaluation of various hot gas cleaning methods. The projected removal rate of particulate is 99.5 percent and that of SO2 is 90 percent. Over ten diamond insert injector nozzles performed well on the test engines. A bench test of one nozzle has been run for over 500 engine equivalent hours without significant wear. Tungsten carbide (WC) coated piston rings and cylinder liners were identified to be effective in overcoming power assembly wear. A matrix of WC spray parameters were investigated, and the best process was used to apply coatings onto full scale rings and liners. These and other test parts are currently running in two coal fuel operated cylinders on a converted eight-cylinder endurance test engine. All of these developed technologies will be applied onto the second phase engine and be used in the final phase locomotive test. An economic analysis was also completed on a concept locomotive design. Additional equipment cost and the level of diesel fuel price to repay the investment were analyzed. Thus the economic environment for the commercialization of the modern coal fueled locomotive is defined.

The article describes L28/32 and L23\30 MAN-B&W diesel engines widely used by many shipping companies owing to high maintenance and service ability of simple, but sufficiently reliable engine parts. As for a medium speed 4-stroke engine, diesels have optimal power forcing characteristics, high fuel saving and durable overhaul time for essential parts. There have been considered the positive and negative features of the engine, which are also important technical indicators, in comparison with the designed samples when choosing the base engine. The analysis of operational durability, the typical failures of the cylinder-piston group and other essential parts
of 9L28/32A-F MAN B&W engines under different operation modes and loads have been given. During the first overhaul there has been demonstrated the working state of the cylinder-piston group of two engines after 22424 and 22672 h instead of recommended 12000 h for heavy fuel oil. Owing to diagnostic control and monitoring cylinder liner and piston rings assembly, overhauling was made only by condition mode. Maximum working time (40084 h) without cylinder overhaul was reached at suspend power of 75% Pe nom. At a tanker «Georgiy Froier» during 12 years of operation and 64500 working hours only 15pistons were overhauled instead of 48recommended, with changing 39 piston rings instead 194 recommended. In the future, the engines worked up to
100 thousand hours without top overhaul, with high resource parameters of the main parts on two engines in the shipping company. The operational problems of the engines with isobaric boost system on ships with a fixed-pitch propeller were identified and considered.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a condition monitoring and combustion fault detection technique for a 12-cylinder 588 kW trainset diesel engine based on vibration signature analysis using fast Fourier transform, discrete wavelet transform, and artificial neural network. Most of the conventional fault diagnosis techniques in diesel engines are mainly based on analyzing the difference of vibration signals amplitude in the time domain or frequency spectrum. Unfortunately, for complex engines, the time- or frequency-domain approaches do not provide appropriate features solely. In the present study, vibration signals are captured from both intake manifold and cylinder heads of the engine and were analyzed in time-, frequency-, and time–frequency domains. In addition, experimental data of a 12-cylinder 588 kW diesel engine (of a trainset) are captured and the proposed method is verified via these data. Results show that power spectra of vibration signals in the low-frequency range reliably distinguish between normal and faulty conditions. However, they cannot identify the fault location. Hence, a feature extraction method based on discrete wavelet transform and energy spectrum is proposed. The extracted features from discrete wavelet transform are used as inputs in a neural network for classification purposes according to the location of sensors and faults. The experimental results verified that vibration signals acquired from intake manifold have more potential in fault detection. In addition, the capacity of discrete wavelet transform and artificial neural network in detection and diagnosis of faulty cylinders subjected to the abnormal fuel injection was revealed in a complex diesel engine. Beside condition monitoring of the engine, a two-step fault detection method is proposed, which is more reliable than other one-step methods for complex engines. The average condition monitoring performance is from 93.89% up to 99.17%, based on fault location and sensor placement, and the minimum classification performance is 98.34%.

Full textAbstract:
The article describes the specific features of the forced diesel engines operating on a helical characteristic. One of them is a decreasing coefficient of excessive air during combustion with a decreasing power. Reducing the air charge of the cylinder and its available work require a greater cyclic supply of fuel to provide a given power, which affects the engine efficiency. It is possible to increase the boost pressure and the mass of the air charge of the cylinder by acting on the adjustable nozzle apparatus of a turbo-charging unit. In this case, gas parameters significantly change over the diesel cycle, which leads to changes in the indicators of thermal and mechanical tension. There have been presented the results of theoretical studies of indicators and criteria of thermal and mechanical tension of a marine two-stroke internal combustion engine operating in a wide range of modes with a constant coefficient of excessive air during combustion. Direct control of air flow at shared load modes was performed by turning the blades of an adjustable nozzle apparatus of a turbo-charging unit. The study of a diesel engine was carried out theoretically for two options: the original version (without adjustable nozzle unit) and under direct control of the air flow using an adjustable nozzle unit; the results were processed depending on the relative power of the diesel fractional load modes. There have been illustrated the graphs of dependence of the blade rotation angle of the nozzle apparatus of a turbocharging unit, relative change of the gas temperature behind the cylinder, cycle average temperature of the working fluid, average heat flux, relative change in the heat stress criterion of the piston, heat stress criterion for the cylinder, change in the pressure cycle of the working fluid, degree of increase working fluid during combustion, maximum rate of pressure rise depending on the load of the diesel engine.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes new methodologies and algorithms for use in engine diagnostics that simplify and improve combustion quality monitoring and closed-loop engine control in order to meet stringent emission standards. The “synthetic” variables these algorithms produce can be used to indicate the work produced by each cylinder combustion event at all engine speeds, and can be effectively used for on-board combustion quality measurements, engine diagnostics, and closed-loop control. The algorithms are very simple in form, run in real time, and the methodologies can be applied to compression ignition or spark ignition, 2-stroke or 4-stroke gasoline or diesel engines. Both simulation and experimental results are given for a two-stroke, two-cylinder in-line engine. The rotational dynamics and firing sequence of this configuration of engine is very similar to a four-stroke, four cylinder in-line engine, and nearly identical results will be seen with these two designs. Even more dramatic improvements can be seen with engines of fewer cylinders because of greater variations in their inertial forces. The algorithms can be successfully applied to many other engine configurations as well. Therefore, benefits can be derived from the application of these algorithms and their “synthetic” variables to control strategies for almost all modern small and medium size automotive and marine engines, as well as utility engines used for lawn care, snow removal, and other similar applications.

Full textAbstract:
Lubrication of cylinders between liners and rings is one of the crucial factors that affects the efficient operation of diesel engines. Marine diesel engines usually use inferior heavy fuel oil with high sulphur content, and the acidic substances formed by fuel combustion need alkaline cylinder oil to neutralize. For the operational cost to a marine engine, besides fuel oil, cylinder oil also takes a big share. This article first analyses the advantages and disadvantages of existing cylinder lubrication systems with regard to oil injection control. Second, the control parameters and variables such as the oil injection pressure, timing, oil feed rate and reliability are analysed, and the corresponding control schemes formulated. Third, the control strategies are developed in detail. Finally, verification tests are carried out on an actual engine, with the results showing that the control strategies developed in this article provide a stable, cost-effective, creative and excellent solution for cylinder lubrication with reduced cylinder wear. A thin and uniform oil film distribution is retained on the liner surface, with savings in cylinder oil consumption, lower particulate matter emission levels and improved cylinder liner and piston rings running conditions. The experimental results show that the oil consumption could be reduced by up to 50%.

Full textAbstract:
With the ever-stringent vehicles exhaust emission standard and higher requirements on on-board diagnostic technology, the importance of misfire detection in vehicle emission control is emerging. The performance of a traditional misfire detection algorithm predominantly depends on the features and classifier selected. Fixed and handcrafted features require either a reliable dynamic model of an engine or a large number of experiment data to define the threshold, and then, form a map. Since convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have an inherent adaptive design and integrate the feature extraction with classification functions into a compact learning framework, the misfire fault-sensitive features can be auto-discovered from raw speed signals. Furthermore, CNNs can detect the fault features of the misfire through network training with fewer engine operating conditions. In this paper, the theory and method of the misfire diagnosis based on CNNs are presented. The experimental data for network training and testing are sampled on a six-cylinder inline diesel engine. The misfire patterns containing every one-cylinder and two-cylinder misfire are tested under the wide speed and load conditions of the engine. The results show that when the engine operates under steady-state conditions, one-cylinder or two-cylinder complete misfires can be detected accurately by CNNs. In addition, one-cylinder partial misfire is employed to examine the adaptability of trained 1-D CNN. It turns out that when the partial misfire reaches the same level as half amount of the normal fuel injection quantity, one-cylinder partial misfire can be detected with accuracy more than 96%. At last, the misfire detection under the non-stationary conditions, such as acceleration or deceleration, is conducted. The results show the 1-D CNN performed well in a limited acceleration range, and network failure occurs when the absolute acceleration of the engine speed is more than 100 r/min/s.

The results of tests performed on a slow-speed, two-stroke single-cylinder diesel engine show that thermal efficiency is approximately the same when fired with coal/water slurry fuels and diesel oil and that exhaust pollutant emissions, most notably NOx, are lower with the coal/water slurry fuels. Engine wear, particularly at the piston ring/cylinder liner interface, is considerably greater than that which occurs with liquid fuels. However, it is concluded that by means of technological advances regarding piston ring/cylinder liner materials, new designs, and new concepts in lubrication, a reliable and economical coal/water slurry-fired slow-speed engine can be developed.

Full textAbstract:
An experimental investigation is performed in a single-cylinder direct-injection (DI) diesel engine using city diesel oil called DI1 and two blends of DI1 with a mixture of glycol ethers. The addition of glycol ethers to fuel DI1 produced oxygenated fuels GLY10 (10.2 mass-% glycol ethers) and GLY30 (31.3 mass-% glycol ethers) with 3% and 9% oxygen content, respectively. The addition of biofuel rapeseed methyl ester (RME) to fuel DI1 produced oxygenated blend RME30 (31.2 mass-% RME) with 3% oxygen content. Engine tests were performed with the four fuels in the DI diesel engine at 2500 RPM and at 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% of full load. The experimental diesel engine was equipped with devices for recording cylinder pressure, injection pressure, and top dead center (TDC) position and also it was equipped with exhaust gas analyzers for measuring soot, NO, CO, and HC emissions. A MATLAB 2014 code was developed for analyzing recorded cylinder pressure, injection pressure, and TDC position data for all obtained engine cycles and for calculating the main engine performance parameters. The assessment of the experimental results showed that glycol ethers have more beneficial impact on soot and NO emissions compared to RME, whereas RME have less detrimental impact on engine performance parameters compared to glycol ethers.

The present work presents the comparative simulation of a diesel engine fuelled on diesel fuel and biodiesel fuel. Two models, based on tabulated chemistry, were implemented for the simulation purpose and results were compared with experimental data obtained from a single cylinder diesel engine. The first model is a single zone model based on the Krieger and Bormann combustion model while the second model is a two-zone model based on Olikara and Bormann combustion model. It was shown that both models can predict well the engine’s in-cylinder pressure as well as its overall performances. The second model showed a better accuracy than the first, while the first model was easier to implement and faster to compute. It was found that the first method was better suited for real time engine control and monitoring while the second one was better suited for engine design and emission prediction.

The use of clean alternative fuel and new combustion mode is one of the most effective methods of further reduction of NOx and smoke emissions at diesel engine. High thermal efficiency and ultra-low NOx and PM emission of engine in HCCI combustion mode can be realized at low and medium load. However, some problems such as hard control of ignition timing and narrow operating range still exist.For the sake of expanding the operating range of HCCI (Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition) engines and explore the scientific methods to realize the ultra-low emission with DME (Dimethyl Ether) as alternative fuel. Experimental Research on the characteristics of PCCI-DI (Partial Premixed Charge Compression Ignition – Direct Injection) combustion is carried out on a single cylinder and naturally aspirated direct injection diesel engine. Results indicate that PCCI-DI DME engine has lower peak cylinder pressure and lesser rise rate of pressure. The engine also shows up an obvious two-stage heat-release characteristic. Compared with HCCI DME engine, peak value of two heat-releases reduces, the position of the first peak almost has no change and the position of the second peak shifts to the position later than TDC (Top Dead Center).

Full textAbstract:
Low-speed two-stroke marine diesel engines dominate the modern global long-distance transportation market; with the increasingly stringent regulations, the combustion and emissions of these engines is gaining intense interest. The primary objective of the present study was to understand the effects of air-fuel mixing by pilot injection strategy on the combustion and emission characteristics of the marine diesel engines through a numerical study. Specifically, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model was established and validated by experimental data for a typical low-speed two-stroke marine diesel engine. The combustion parameters under different stages were analyzed, including mean in-cylinder temperature and pressure, indicated thermal efficiency (ITE), indicated specific fuel consumption (ISFC), and distribution of fuel-air mixture. Results indicated that, due to the premixing effect, the pilot injection produced unburned soot from the main injection’s ignition as well as decrease the intervals between the middle and final stages of combustion, thus raising the in-cylinder temperature. The interaction between the reduction of soot particles resulted from the increased temperature, and the decrease of the stage intervals led to lower overall boundary heat loss, which improved the effective thermal efficiency. The pilot injection timing and quality, respectively, showed quadratic and linear impact modes on engine performance and emissions.

Full textAbstract:
Cylinder deactivation is an effective strategy to improve diesel engine fuel efficiency and aftertreatment thermal management when implemented through deactivation of both fueling and valve motion for a set of cylinders. Brake power is maintained by injecting additional fuel into the remaining activated cylinders. The initial deactivation of cylinders can be accomplished in various ways, the two most common options being to trap freshly inducted charge in the deactivated cylinders or to trap combusted gases in the deactivated cylinders. The choice of trapping strategy dictates the in-cylinder pressure characteristics of the deactivated cylinders and has potential to affect torque, oil consumption, and emissions upon reactivation. The effort described here compares these trapping strategies through examination of in-cylinder pressures following deactivation. Proponents of each trapping strategy exist; however, the results discussed here suggest no significant performance differences. As an example, the in-cylinder pressures of both trapping strategies converge as quickly as seven cycles, less than 1 s, after deactivation at curb idle conditions.

Twin entry radial turbines are mostly used to drive compressors of small and medium size 6-cylinder diesel engines where the available energy of the undisturbed exhaust pulses can be efficiently used to drive the turbine of a turbocharger. Three selected cylinders feed two separated manifold branches and two turbine inlets and prevent negative interaction of pressure waves and its influence on the scavenging process of the individual cylinders. In the case of a four-stroke, 4-cylinder engine, two selected cylinders, directed by the firing order, can be connected to one (of the two) separated manifold branches that feeds one turbine entry. Good utilization of the pressure pulse energy, together with typically longer periods of reduced exhaust flow can lead to good overall efficiency of the “two-pulse” system. Sometimes this system can be superior to the single manifold system with four cylinders connected to one singleentry turbine. The paper describes advantages and disadvantages of the above described exhaust systems applied to a turbocharged and aftercooled 4-cylinder Diesel engine. Comparisons supported by the analyses of the numerical and experimental results are also given in the presented paper.

The diagnostic technique described in this paper is based on measuring the instantaneous angular speed of both the front end and the flywheel on internal-combustion engines, recording more than 400 speed measurements per engine cycle. Two noncontacting transducers are added to an existing drive train without requiring drive train modifications. A digital circuit, which includes a microprocessor, samples and processes the raw speed data. The numerical analysis includes data noise filtering, and the numerical determination of front end and flywheel speed waveforms. When operating without external load, the engine accelerates only the inertial load. When neglecting friction and the small amount of torsional energy in the crankshaft, it is shown that the engine energy can be modeled as a lumped parameter system consisting of inertia on both engine front and flywheel ends, coupled by a torsional spring. The results from measurements on an eight-cylinder diesel engine with various cylinder faults show that reduced cylinder performance produces a drop of kinetic energy for the faulty cylinder. An engine performance criterion evaluates the performance of each cylinder, based on its contribution to total engine kinetic energy. The results demonstrate that fault conditions are detected with high reliability.

The power and efficiency of a two-stroke engine strongly depends on the efficiency of the scavenging process which consists in re-moving the rest of the exhaust gases from the cylinder and filling it with a fresh charge. The quality of the charge exchange process is significantly influenced by the construction of the intake system. The paper presents a zero-dimensional model of the aircraft two-stroke opposed-piston diesel engine with two variants of the intake system: with a mechanical compressor and a turbocharger connected in series with a mechanical compressor. Simulation studies of the developed cases were carried out in the AVL BOOST software. For the defined engine operating points, its performance was compared for different designs of the intake system. It was confirmed that the use of a turbocharger with a mechanical compressor extends the range of operating at high altitudes.

Full textAbstract:
In order to ensure a high level of performance and to comply with the increasingly severe limitations in terms of fuel consumption and pollution emissions, modern diesel engines need continuous monitoring of their operating conditions by their control units. With particular focus on turbocharged engines, which are presently the standard in a large number of applications, the use of the average and the instantaneous turbocharger speeds is thought to represent a valuable feedback of the engine behavior, especially for the identification of the cylinder-to-cylinder injection variations. The correct operation of the injectors and control of the injected fuel quantity allow the controller to ensure the right combustion process and maintain engine performance. In the present study, two different techniques are presented to fit this scope. The techniques are discussed and experimentally validated, leading to the definition of an integrated control strategy, which features the main benefits of the two, and is able to correctly detect the cylinder-to-cylinder injection variation and, consequently, properly correct the injection in each cylinder in order to balance the engine behavior. In addition, the possibility of detecting misfiring events was assessed.

Full textAbstract:
Diesel engines exhausting gaseous emission and particulate matter have long been regarded as one of the major air pollution sources, particularly in metropolitan areas, and have been a source of serious public concern for a long time. The choosing various injection strategies is not only motivated by cost reduction but is also one of the potentially effective techniques to reduce exhaust emission from diesel engines. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of different injection angles on a heavy duty diesel engine and emission characteristics. The varieties of injection angle were simulated and the emissions like soot and NO is calculated. The comparison between the different injection strategies was also investigated. A combustion chamber for three injection strategies (injection direction with angles of ?=67.5, 70, and 72.5 degree) was simulated. The comparative study involving rate of heat release, in-cylinder temperature, in-cylinder pressure, NO and soot emissions were also reported for different injection strategies. The case of ?=70 is optimum because in this manner the emissions are lower in almost most of crank angle than two other cases and the in-cylinder pressure, which is a representation of engine power, is higher than in the case of ?=67.5 and just a little lower than in the case of ?=72.5.

Compression ratio has very important influence on fuel economy, emission, and other performances of internal combustion engines. Application of variable compression ratio in diesel engines has a number of benefits, such as limiting maximal in cylinder pressure and extended field of the optimal operating regime to the prime requirements: consumption, power, emission, noise, and multifuel capability. The manuscript presents also the patented mechanism for automatic change engine compression ratio with two-piece connecting rod. Beside experimental research, modeling of combustion process of diesel engine with direct injection has been performed. The basic problem, selection of the parameters in double Vibe function used for modeling the diesel engine combustion process, also performed for different compression ratio values. The optimal compression ratio value was defined regarding minimal fuel consumption and exhaust emission. For this purpose the test bench in the Laboratory for Engines of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Kragujevac, is brought into operation.

The effect of iron-doped cerium oxide (FeCeO2) nanoparticles as a fuel additive was experimentally investigated with waste cooking oil methyl ester (WCOME) in a four-stroke, single cylinder, direct injection diesel engine. The study aimed at the reduction of harmful emissions of diesel engines including oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and soot. Two types of nanoparticles were used: cerium oxide doped with 10% iron and cerium oxide doped with 20% iron, to further investigate the influence of the doping level on the nanoparticle activity. The nanoparticles were dispersed in the tested fuels at a dosage of 90 ppm with the aid of an ultrasonic homogenizer. Tests were conducted at a constant engine speed of 2000 rpm and varying loads (from 0 to 12 N.m) with neat diesel (D100) and biodiesel–diesel blends of 30% WCOME and 70% diesel by volume (B30). The engine combustion, performance, and emission characteristics for the fuel blends with nanoparticles were compared with neat diesel as the base fuel. The test results showed improvement in the peak cylinder pressure by approximately 3.5% with addition of nanoparticles to the fuel. A reduction in NOx emissions by up to 15.7% were recorded, while there was no noticeable change in unburned hydrocarbon (HC) emissions. Carbon monoxide (CO) emission was reduced by up to 24.6% for B30 and 15.4% for B30 with nano-additives. Better engine performance was recorded for B30 with 20% FeCeO2 as compared to 10% FeCeO2, in regard to cylinder pressure and emissions. The brake specific fuel consumption was lower for the fuel blend of B30 with 10% FeCeO2 nanoparticles, in low-to-medium loads and comparable to D100 at high loads. Hence, a higher brake thermal efficiency was recorded for the blend in low-to-medium loads compared to D100.

Tests were performed on a single cylinder, four stroke, direct injection, diesel engine whose piston crown, cylinder head and valves were coated with a 0.5 mm thickness of 3Al2O3.2SiO2(mullite) (Al2O3= 60%, SiO2= 40%) over a 150 µm thickness of NiCrAlY bond coat. The working conditions for the conventional engine (without coating) and LHR (mullite coated) engine were kept exactly same to ensure a comparison between the two configurations of the engine. This paper is intended to emphasis on emission characteristics of diesel engine with and without mullite coating under identical conditions. Tests were carried out at same operational constraints i.e. air-fuel ratio and engine speed conditions for both conventional engine (without coating) and LHR (mullite coated) engines. The results showed that, there was as much as29.41% and 24.35% decreasing on CO and HC emissions respectively for LHR (mullite coated) engine compared to conventional engine (without coating) at full load. The average decrease in smoke density in the LHR engine compared with the conventional engine was 13.82 % for full engine load. However, there was as much as 20% increasing on NOx emission for LHR engine compared to conventional engine at full load. Also the results revealed that, there was as much as 22% increasing on exhaust gas temperature for LHR engine compared to conventional engine at full engine load.

With the increase of information processing speed, more and more engine optimization work can be processed automatically. The quick-response closed-loop control method is becoming an urgent demand for the combustion control of modern internal combustion engines. In this paper, artificial neural network (ANN) and polynomial functions are used to predict the emission and engine performance based on seven parameters extracted from the in-cylinder pressure trace information of over 3000 cases. Based on the prediction model, the optimal combustion parameters are found with two different intelligent algorithms, including genetical algorithm and fish swarm algorithm. The results show that combination of quadratic function with genetical algorithm is able to obtain the appropriate combustion control parameters. Both engine emissions and thermal efficiency can be virtually predicted in a much faster way, such that enables a promising way to achieve fast and reliable closed-loop combustion control.

The sequential turbocharging technique is used to improve the performance of highly rated diese engines in particular at part loads. However, the transient behaviour of the sequential turbocharging connection/disconnection phases may be difficult to calibrate and requires an accurate study and development. This may be accomplished, in addition to the necessary experimentation, by means of dynamic simulation techniques. In this paper a model for the dynamic simulation of a sequentially turbocharged diesel engine is presented. A two-zone, non-adiabatic, actual cycle approach is used for the chemical and thermodynamic phenomena simulation in the cylinder. Fluid mass and energy accumulation in the engine volumes are evaluated by means of a filling and emptying method. The simulation of the turbocharger dynamics combines the use of the compressor and turbine maps with a model of the sequential turbocharging connection/disconnection valves and of their governor system. The procedure is applied to the simulation of the Wärtsilä 18V 26X engine, a highly rated, recently developed, sequentially turbocharged marine diesel engine, whose experimental results are used for the steady state and transient validation of the simulation code with particular reference to the sequential turbocharging connection/disconnection phases. The presented results show the time histories of some important variables during typical engine load variations.

Thailand has had the policies supporting the production and uses of renewable and alternative energies in order to reduce the imports of the fuels from other countries. Producing the fuels from plastic wastes can lower the pollution and energy problems in the country in order to ensure that the fuels can actually be the alternatives. The purpose of this research study is to compare the effects of using the diesel fuel from the plastic wastes on the single cylinder engines by comparing the performances and wears of the engines with the commercial diesel fuel and waste plastic oil. There were two tests: 1) the engine performance test and 2) the engine wear test. According to the results of the engine performance test, it was found that the waste plastic oil resulted in the torque and brake power lower than those of the commercial diesel fuel for about 3% at 2,200 revolutions per minute. However, the waste plastic oil had the lower fuel consumption rate than that of the commercial diesel fuel. As a result, the waste plastic oil had the specific fuel consumption that was lower than that of the commercial diesel fuel for about 2%. Regarding the engine wears, it was found that the waste plastic oil caused slightly more wears than the commercial diesel fuel. It was concluded that the waste plastic oil was an alternative energy that had the potentials of the commercial diesel fuel without modifying the engines.
