The turbulent jet ignition experiments conducted in the rapid compression machine (RCM) at Michigan State University (MSU) were simulated. A full simulation was carried out first using RANS model for validation, the results of which were then taken as the boundary condition for the detailed simulations using both RANS and LES. To isolate the thermal and chemical kinetic effects from the hot jet, two different inlet conditions of the chamber were considered: inert case (including thermal effects only) and reactive case (accounting for both thermal and chemical kinetic effects). It is found that the chemical kinetic effects are important for the ignition in the main chamber. Comparison of OH and HRR (heat release rate) computed by RANS and LES shows that RANS predicts slightly faster combustion, which implies higher predicted turbulent flame speed. Correlations between vorticity, mixing field, and temperature field are observed, which indicate that the flow dynamics strongly influence the mixing process near the flame front, and consequently affect flame propagation.","PeriodicalId":448421,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Emissions Control Systems; Instrumentation, Controls, and Hybrids; Numerical Simulation; Engine Design and Mechanical Development","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114354869","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}

One dimensional (1D) gas dynamic codes supports their development and integration by modelling the engine and air systems and reducing testing time. However, this approach currently relies on steady flow characteristic maps which are inaccurate for simulating transient engine conditions. This is a key weakness of using gas-stand measured maps in engine simulations. Performing TC mapping on an engine would in principle solve this problem, however engine-based mapping is limited by the engine operating range and on these facilities, high-precision measurements are challenging.\u0000 In addition, simple turbocharging can no longer be constrained to an individual TC supplying boost air to an engine. Instead, modern downsized engines require air-path system making use of multiple components including TCs, mechanical superchargers, electrically driven compressors (EDCs), EGR paths and control valves. Thus studying multiple air systems requires an experimental test facility to understand how they work in synergy. This is also useful in developing empirical models to minimize test time. Therefore the aim of this paper is to present a novel experimental facility that is flexibly designed for evaluating air systems individually and also at the system level representing a complicated air path both in steady and transient condition.\u0000 The advanced test facility is built around a 2.2 l diesel engine to test the above air systems which can isolate the thermal and load transients from engine pulsating flows. Removing the flow pulsation allows study of the system characteristics in a steady state. Several examples of component and system level tests including a two-stage air path comprising of a VGT (variable geometry turbine) TC and a 48V EDC with typical operating condition (provided by 1D modeling) are discussed.","PeriodicalId":448421,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Emissions Control Systems; Instrumentation, Controls, and Hybrids; Numerical Simulation; Engine Design and Mechanical Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132321101","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 test excavator has an engine power of 124 kW at an engine speed of 1800rpm, and it has various after-treatment devices, such as exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), selective catalytic reduction (SCR), and diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), to reduce the engine-out emissions. The emissions including carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxides (CO2), and NOx, were measured by portable emission measurement system (PEMS). The PEMS device conducted a correlation analysis with the emission bench on the engine dynamometer before being used to measure the real-work to confirm the reliability of the equipment. The tests were carried out in four categories: idling, driving, excavations and flattening.\u0000 It revealed that the average power output for each operation mode was higher in the order of flattening, excavation, and drive. On average, those are higher than that for the non-road transient cycle (NRTC) certification mode as 1.5 to 1.9 times. It may be determined that the power output is higher in conditions where there are more boom and bucket movements than the movement of the vehicle itself. In emission analysis, NOx and HC emission in driving mode are higher than other two modes: excavation and flattening. The real time NOx have been low in most test conditions, but large quantities of NOx have been released due to the deactivation of the SCR catalyst during cold start period or immediately after the non-working.","PeriodicalId":448421,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Emissions Control Systems; Instrumentation, Controls, and Hybrids; Numerical Simulation; Engine Design and Mechanical Development","volume":"321 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124541480","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}

A cavitation model was incorporated in a simulation of the fuel spray integrating a simulation of the nozzle flow with a simulation of the air/fuel mixture. The simulation was applied to fuel sprays from a gasoline direct-injection injector; six nozzles were placed on an orifice cup in axial symmetry. Expansions of the plumes (in terms of width) around the nozzle outlets due to flash boiling and extension of spray penetration qualitatively agreed with the measured ones. Effects of the expansions of the plumes due to flash boiling on spray-penetration distance were also studied. The result of that study indicated that interactions between the expanded plumes around the nozzle outlets cause the spray shape of the air/fuel mixtures to thin, thereby extending the penetration of the spray.","PeriodicalId":448421,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Emissions Control Systems; Instrumentation, Controls, and Hybrids; Numerical Simulation; Engine Design and Mechanical Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121636808","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}
