Abstract
To promote the efficient and clean application of low-carbon alcohol fuels in internal combustion engines, this article compares and studies the effects of three internal EGR strategies, including exhaust valve lift strategy (EVVL), exhaust timing advance strategy (EVT), and intake valve timing advance strategy (IVT), on the combustion, performance, and emissions of gasoline, methanol, and ethanol. Under the same internal EGR rate, the internal EGR temperature generated by the three valve strategies is, from highest to lowest, as follows: EVT, EVVL, and IVT. With an increase in internal EGR in the cylinder, the ignition delay and combustion duration under the EVVL and IVT strategies increase progressively, whereas the ignition delay under the EVT strategy tends to first shorten and then lengthen. Methanol has the shortest combustion duration. Furthermore, methanol and ethanol have lower heat transfer and exhaust losses than gasoline. The thermal efficiency of methanol, ethanol, and gasoline can be raised by 7.7%, 7.5%, and 7.2%, respectively, using the IVT strategy; 3.1%, 3.9%, and 4.6% using the EVVL strategy; and 6.82%, 6.85%, and 7% using the EVT strategy. The combination of methanol and ethanol with internal EGR technology greatly reduces NOx emissions, with an 84.5% reduction under the EVVL strategy.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Automotive Technology has as its objective the publication and dissemination of original research in all fields of AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY, SCIENCE and ENGINEERING. It fosters thus the exchange of ideas among researchers in different parts of the world and also among researchers who emphasize different aspects of the foundations and applications of the field.
Standing as it does at the cross-roads of Physics, Chemistry, Mechanics, Engineering Design and Materials Sciences, AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY is experiencing considerable growth as a result of recent technological advances. The Journal, by providing an international medium of communication, is encouraging this growth and is encompassing all aspects of the field from thermal engineering, flow analysis, structural analysis, modal analysis, control, vehicular electronics, mechatronis, electro-mechanical engineering, optimum design methods, ITS, and recycling. Interest extends from the basic science to technology applications with analytical, experimental and numerical studies.
The emphasis is placed on contributions that appear to be of permanent interest to research workers and engineers in the field. If furthering knowledge in the area of principal concern of the Journal, papers of primary interest to the innovative disciplines of AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY, SCIENCE and ENGINEERING may be published. Papers that are merely illustrations of established principles and procedures, even though possibly containing new numerical or experimental data, will generally not be published.
When outstanding advances are made in existing areas or when new areas have been developed to a definitive stage, special review articles will be considered by the editors.
No length limitations for contributions are set, but only concisely written papers are published. Brief articles are considered on the basis of technical merit.
