Abstract

A new type of rapid compression and expansion machine (RCEM) has been developed, and typical knock scenes were clearly recorded with a high speed laser shadowgraph at a speed of 100,000 frames per second. The RCEM is intended to simulate combustion in an automotive engine. Its piston is driven by an electrohydraulic servo system and is allowed to execute continuous reciprocations up to five times. The combustion chamber is a simple pancake type with an ignition plug on its side and the whole inner view is observable through a glass window on the top.

A photographic study of fuel spray ignition in a rapid compression machine

Conference Solomon, A

The process of spark ignition of fuel sprays in a rapid compression machine was analyzed using high-speed schlieren photography and pressure-time data. The combustion chamber studied simulates in a two-dimensional sense the three-dimensional arrangement of the piston bowl, injector and spark plug in a typical direct-injection stratified-charge (DISC) engine. The test hardware included a flat-seat straight-hole injector, a high-energy ignition system and an extended-electrode spark plug. The influence of amount of fuel injected, ignition dwell period (time between start of injection and start of ignition), swirl rate and direction, and spark-plug electrode-tip location on the ignition process was examined.

Effects of knock intensity measurement technique and fuel chemical composition on the research octane number (RON) of FACE gasolines: Part 1 – Lambda and knock characterization

Journal Article Hoth, Alexander; Kolodziej, Christopher - Fuel

The Research and Motor Octane Number (RON and MON) rate the knock propensity of gasoline in the Cooperative Fuel Research (CFR) engine by comparing the knock intensity of sample fuels relative to that of primary reference fuels (PRF), a binary blend of iso-octane and n-heptane. Important differences exist between standard octane testing and automotive spark ignition (SI) engine knock testing including speed, load, air-to-fuel equivalence ratio (lambda), and knock characterization, which lead to a discrepancy between a fuel’s RON rating and its knock resistance characterized on an automotive SI engine based on knock-limited spark advance.

Combustion of lean mixtures under simulated internal combustion engine conditions

Technical Report Dunn-Rankin, D; Sawyer, R

An experimental study is made of fuel lean combustible gases inside a square cross-section enclosure fitted with a reciprocating piston. The piston is pneumatically driven and simulates the compression-expansion phase of internal combustion engine operation. Intake and exhaust valving is not included. Two borosilicate glass windows provide full optical access to the enclosure. A line igniter produces an approximately two-dimensional flame front. Flame location and shape are obtained from high speed schlieren and shadowgraph movies. Pressure measurements and piston location records are simultaneously acquired. Mass burning rate is calculated from flame location, piston location and pressure information. The experiments concentratemore »« less
Compression ignition characteristics of coal slurry fuels

Thesis/Dissertation Brehob, D

Slow and medium speed compression ignition engines are devices with the potential for conversion to coal fueling. Recent work focuses on coal slurried in a liquid carrier. Engine studies on coal slurry to date have investigated the slurries' wear, thermal efficiency, and injection performance. Previously lacking information on the compression ignition characteristics of coal slurries, specifically, the ignition delay times and conditions for ignition of 45 mass% coal in methanol, oil, and water are compared to methanol and diesel No. 2. The slurries are evaluated using a 900 rpm, direct injection, square piston engine simulator operating for one combustion cyclemore »« less
A photographic study of the combustion of low cetane fuels in a Diesel engine aided with spark assist

Conference Abata, D; Fritz, S; Stroia, B

An experimental investigation of the ignition and combustion characteristics of two low cetane fuels in a spark assisted Diesel engine is described. A three cylinder Diesel engine was modified for single cylinder operation and fitted with a spark plug located in the periphery of the spray plume. Optical observations of ignition and combustion were obtained with high speed photography. Optical access was provided by a quartz piston crown and extended head arrangement. The low cetane fuels, a light end, low viscosity fuel and a heavy end, high viscosity fuel which were blended to bracket No. 2 Diesel fuel on themore »« less
