    Abstract The Miller cycle is a program that effectively reduces NOx emissions from marine diesel engines by lowering the maximum combustion temperature in the cylinder, thereby reducing NOx emissions. To effectively investigate the impact of Miller cycle optimum combustion performance and emission capability under high load conditions, this study will perform a one-dimensional simulation of the performance of a marine diesel engine, as well as a three-dimensional simulation of the combustion in the cylinder. A 6-cylinder four-stroke single-stage supercharged diesel engine is taken as the research object. The chassis dynamometer and other related equipment are used to… More >

    Abstract To improve the performances of diesel engines and to reduce the pollutants they emit, aluminum oxide nanoparticles in varying quantities (50, 100, 150 ppm) have been added to conventional diesel fuel. The results of such experimental tests have revealed that the addition of nano-Al2O3 particles to the diesel fuel reduces its consumption by 0.488%, 1.02%, and 1.377%, respectively and increases the brake thermal efficiency by 1.4%, 2.6%, and 3.8%, respectively. The concentrations of undesired gases decrease accordingly by 1.5%, 1.7%, and 2.8% for HC and by 5.88%, 11.7%, and 17.6%, respectively, for CO. For the same More >

    Abstract This study considers the effect of Eichhornia Crassipes Biodiesel (ECB) blends on the performances, combustion, and emission characteristics of a direct injection compression ignition engine operated in a dual-fuel mode (DFM) and equipped with an Exhaust gas recirculation technique (EGR). In particular, a single-cylinder, four-stroke, water-cooled diesel engine was utilized and four modes of fuel operation were considered: mode I, the engine operated with an ordinary diesel fuel; mode II, the engine operated with the addition of 2.4 L/min of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and 20% EGR; mode III, 20% ECB with 2.4 L/min LPG… More >

    Test Research on the Knock of a Common-Rail Diesel Engine Fueled with Diesel-Methanol Dual-Fuel

    Chao Zhu1, Zhuopei Liu2, Hao Chen2,3, Yangyang Li2,3,*

    Energy Engineering, Vol.120, No.5, pp. 1081-1105, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.026000 - 20 February 2023

    Abstract Experiments were conducted on a diesel-methanol dual-fuel (DMDF) engine modified by a six-cylinder, turbo-charged, inter-cooled diesel engine. According to the number of diesel injection, the experiments are divided to two parts: the single injection mode and double injection mode. The results show that, at the double injection mode, the maximum of pressure rise rate is small and the engine runs smoothly, however, knock still occurs when the co-combustion ratio (CCR) is big enough. Under knock status, the power density of the block vibration concentrating at some special frequencies rises dramatically, and the special frequency of single More >

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.6, pp. 1479-1493, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.022634 - 30 January 2023

    Abstract A dedicated heat exchanger model is introduced for the optimization of heavy-duty diesel engines. The model is a prerequisite for the execution of CFD simulations, which are used to improve waste heat recovery in these systems. Several optimization methods coupled with different types of working fluids are compared in terms of exergy efficiency and heat exchanger complicity. The three considered optimization methods all lead to significant improvements in the R245fa and R1233zd systems with a comparatively low evaporation temperature. The optimal R245fa system has the highest efficiency increase (77.49%). The cyclopentane system displays the highest More >

    A Strategy to Control the Turbocharger Energy of a Diesel Engine at Different Altitudes

    Jianghua Cheng1,2, Xiaojian Li2, Lei Shi3,*, Kangbo Lu3, Ling Leng3

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.4, pp. 959-975, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.023687 - 02 November 2022

    Abstract Power deterioration is a major problem for diesel engines operating at high altitudes. This problem stems from the limited availability of turbocharger energy, which is not enough to increase the boost pressure to the required level. In this study, a control strategy is introduced in order to achieve engine power recovery at different altitudes. It is shown that as the altitude increases from 0 to 4500 m, the required boost pressure ratio increases from 2.4 to 4.3. The needed turbocharger energy should be increased accordingly by 240%, and the TCC (turbine characterization coefficient) should be More >

    Abstract Biodiesel fuel is a potential alternative energy source for diesel engines due to its physiochemical characteristics relatively similar to those of traditional diesel fuel. In this study, the performance, emission, and combustion features of a mono cylinder DI diesel engine are assessed using 20% Pumpkin seed methyl ester (PSOME20) and considering varying injection pressures (200, 220, 240, and 260 bar). The considered Pumpkin seed oil is converted into pumpkin biodiesel by transesterification and then used as fuel. The findings demonstrate that the Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) of PSOME20 can be raised by 1.68%, and the More > Graphic Abstract
