Beginning with the selection of the input material used in 3D printing process, the research aimed to provide insights into the strength properties of these materials. Autodesk Fusion 360 software was used for the precise design of the 3D model, ensuring suitability for subsequent tensile testing. The physical samples were then printed using 3D printing technology. The samples were subjected to a strength examination using a tensile testing machine. The data collection phase recorded and compiled the results of each strength test, forming the foundation for a comprehensive analysis. Using statistical methods and comparative analyzes, the data were thoroughly examined, allowing the derivation of conclusive observations and insights into the comparative strengths of PLA, ABS, and PET-G. The findings not only contribute to a deeper understanding of material performance, but also provide a guide for material selection in 3D printing applications, guiding future research endeavors and industry applications in the ever-evolving landscape of additive manufacturing.","PeriodicalId":34258,"journal":{"name":"Combustion Engines","volume":"114 45","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141822022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In medium-speed gas engines, the ejection of torch flame from a pre-chamber is often used to promote flame propagation within a main com-bustion chamber. Although orifice specifications affect the ejection behaviour of the torch flame and the following combustion in the main chamber, the effects are difficult to fully understand. Some of the authors developed a constant-volume combustion vessel that simu-lated the combustion chamber around the top dead centre of a pre-chamber type gas engine and observed the effects of orifice specifications on the torch flame ejection and the com-bustion in the main chamber. Still, the correlation was not concluded due to the lack of physical examination. In the paper, the above measurement results were confirmed by using RANS-type CFD considering the larger scale of the target engines, and the physical back-ground of the effects of orifice specifications was successfully reproduced.","PeriodicalId":34258,"journal":{"name":"Combustion Engines","volume":"117 43","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141665332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research reported in this paper concerns a two-stage passive hydrogen combustion system for analyzing knock combustion under varying process conditions. The research was conducted using a single-cylinder AVL 5804 engine to determine the effect of the center of combustion (CoC) and excess air ratio (λ) on engine knock conditions and other engine parameters. The tests were carried out at a constant speed of n = 1500 rpm, variable CoC adjustments (2–18°CA aTDC), and a variable value of λ = 1.25–2.0. It was determined that at λ = 1.25–1.5, knocking combustion is quite intense, and further increases in λ this knocking are needed. The excess air ratio λ was found to have a much greater effect on the knock appearance in the engine than the center of combustion position.","PeriodicalId":34258,"journal":{"name":"Combustion Engines","volume":"89 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141681876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis of various theoretical models and comparison of known data showed that the problems of constructing mathematical models of the engine operating cycle remain unresolved. The vast majority of practical data and recommendations for measuring cylinder compression are based on empirical knowledge, numerous experiments and tests. In accordance with this, there is a need for computational models of the compression measurement process and their theoretical justification. To solve the identified problems, a mathematical model of the thermodynamic processes in the cylinder was developed. Unlike existing ones, the model describes the processes in the cylinder step by step, taking into account the real nature of the intake-exhaust processes, air leakage through the interfaces of parts and heat exchange with the walls. Using modeling, the main patterns of changes in compression depending on the modes, the nature of damage to the associated parts of the valve mechanism and cylinder-piston group, the amount of leakage and engine temperature were found. Based on the results of the study, the properties of the model which make its use effective in diagnosing and monitoring the technical condition of engines in operation were concluded.","PeriodicalId":34258,"journal":{"name":"Combustion Engines","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141691329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The external characteristics of the engines and the structure of the drivetrain were analyzed. It was found that the factors determining development are primarily economic and ecological aspects. It was noticed that, based on the configuration of the drive system, vehicles can be divided according to their purpose and type of transport. Vehicles intended for international transport are characterized by low gears and engines that achieve high torque at low engine speeds. Construction vehicles and vehicles intended for oversize transport are characterized by large gear ratios and torque amplification systems. The structure of electric vehicle drive systems is different from conventional vehicles. Gearboxes usually have two gears, drive axles may have integrated engines located next to the main gear or in the final drive position.

The potential solution to this problem was found in adding energy storage systems to electric rail vehicles, to allow them some range of travel beyond the electrified lines. A simulation analysis of a special purpose rail vehicle travelling across a non-electrified section of railway line was conducted to assess the energy consumption rate and the necessary energy storage capacity. Three energy storage solutions were simulated, showing the travel range they can provide, with the aim of finding the lowest battery capacity solution that would still allow the vehicle to safely complete the simulated drive. The final selection of energy storage system capacity was done based on the assumed expected range outside electrified railway weighed against the mass and cost of the extra energy storage system added to the vehicle. For a vehicle with a mass of 65 tons a battery system with a capacity of 600 Ah was found to be sufficient.","PeriodicalId":34258,"journal":{"name":"Combustion Engines","volume":"86 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141101529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
