In addition, a novel idle optimization of ICE strategy is implemented to obtain the optimal idle operating point of the ICE and corresponding optimal parking generation power of the EM using the view of the novel SSO of ICE strategy. Simulations results show that potential fuel economy improvement is achieved relative to the conventional one which only optimized the ICE efficiency by the novel SSO of ICE strategy, and fuel consumption per voltage increment decreases a lot during the parking charge by the novel idle optimization of ICE strategy.展开更多

Influences of fuel-air equivalence ratio φ, speed, and ignition advance angle on heat efficiency were determined. Test results showed that indicated thermal efficiency ( ITE ) firstly increased with fuel- air equivalence ratio, achieved the maximum value of 40. 4% ( φ = 0.3 ), and then decreased when was more than 0. 3. ITE increased as speed rises. Mechanical efficiency increased as fuel-air equiva- lence ratio increased, whereas mechanical efficiency decreased as speed increased, with maximum mechanical efficiency reaching 90%. Brake thermal efficiency (BTE) was influenced by ITE and me- chanical efficiency, at the maximum value of 35% (φ =0.5, 2 000 r/min). The optimal ignition ad- vance angle of each condition resulting in the maximum BTE was also studied. With increasing fuel- air equivalence ratio, the optimal ignition angle became closer to the top dead center ( TDC ). The test results and the conclusions exhibited a guiding role on hydrogen internal combustion engine opti- mization.展开更多

Three cylinders prototype has just been developed. The study on the influence of valve's characteristic on ICP's total performance will found the base for its optimum design. Based on the theoretical and testing fruits of single cylinder prototype, the performance of the valves and complete appliance of the latest is simulated. When the natural frequency of valves is approximately to the round number times of the working frequency, volumetric efficiency is seriously low. The nominal rotational speed of the prototype is nearly to the speed where the volumetric efficiency is lowest, which is harmful to the normal work of ICP, so further structure optimization of valves should be carried out. The change of volumetric efficiency has great influence on the fuel consumption rate, output flow, effective thermal efficiency, effective power, and so on, but little on output pressure.展开更多

However, due to the water spray nozzle need to be installed on the cylinder, which increases the cylinder head design difficulty and makes the combustion conditions become more complicated. In this paper, a new method is presented to carry out the closing inlet and exhaust system for internal combustion engines. The proposed new method uses liquid oxygen to solidify part of cooled CO2 from exhaust system into dry ice and the liquid oxygen turns into gas oxygen which is sent to inlet system. The other part of CO2 is sent to inlet system and mixed with oxygen, which can reduce the oxygen-enriched combustion detonation tendency and make combustion stable. Computing grid of the IP52FMI single-cylinder four-stroke gasoline-engine is established according to the actual shape of the combustion chamber using KIVA-3V program. The effects of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rate are analyzed on the temperatures, the pressures and the instantaneous heat release rates when the EGR rate is more than 8%. The possibility of enclosing intake and exhaust system for engine is verified. The carbon dioxide trapping device is designed and the IP52FMI engine is transformed and the CO2 capture experiment is carried out. The experimental results show that when the EGR rate is 36% for the optimum EGR rate. When the liquid oxygen of 35.80-437.40 g is imported into the device and last 1-20 min, respectively, 21.50-701.30 g dry ice is obtained. This research proposes a new design method which can capture CO2 for vehicular internal combustion engine.展开更多

It is the first time that we look attime-frequency distribution images from the point of images. Based on this, a new method forapplying image processing technology for diagnosing and state monitoring for internal combustionengines is presented in this paper. A valve fault diagnosis model is set up by image matching, whichis realized on a four-stroke, six-cylinder diesel engine. At the same time, some notes arepresented in this paper. It has been proved that it is of no good effect to diagnose with histogramsof time-frequency images generated by cylinder head vibration signals that have been processed witha wavelet packet algorithm. The reason is given in this paper. Comparisons of diagnosing effect arecarried out between noise-added signals and original signals. It has little effect on diagnosingresults after signals have been added with noise. The results show that this method has a clearphysical meaning and is of good engineering practicability, feasibility, good precision and highspeed.展开更多

Among these models, the coupled bolt model provides the best accurate responses compared with the experimental results. The contact bolt model shows the best effectiveness and usefulness in view of operational time. The bolt models proposed in this study are adopted for a dynamic characteristic analysis of a large diesel engine consisting of several parts which are connected by many bolts. The dynamic behavior of the entire engine structure was investigated by experiment. The coupled bolt model and the contact bolt model were applied to model the assembly of engine with high preload. The experimental results are in good agreement with the finite element method (FEM) results. Compared with the other models, the contact bolt model presented in this paper is more effective and useful in view of operational time and experience of analysts.展开更多

Two phases are included in rapid mesh generation: the initial mesh generation and the mesh pre-treatment. In the second step (pre-treatment), the connectivity of those cells is generated by a new algorithm added to the KIVA-3V code after the initial mesh generated. In dynamic mesh management phase, a new rezoning algorithm is developed and the basic principle is that the rezoning starts from the moving part. The movement of the adjustment is treated as an "earth quake wave" propagating to the surrounding vertexes. The amount of coordinate adjustment of the surrounding vertexes is determined by the movement of the epicenter and the distance between the vertexes and the "epicenter". Finally, a real IC engine mesh is generated and managed aceording to the new method. It gives a new theory and a new method for creating and managing the mesh in IC engine.展开更多

文摘Increasing energy consumption in the transportation sector results in challenging greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions and environmental problems.This paper involved integrated assessments on GHG emissions and emergy of the life cycle for the internal combustion engine(ICE)and electric automobiles in the USA over the entire assumed fifteen-year lifetime.The hotspots of GHG emissions as well as emergy indices for the major processes of automobile life cycle within the defined system boundaries have been investigated.The potential strategies for reducing GHG emissions and emergy in the life cycle of both ICE and electric automobiles were further proposed.Based on the current results,the total GHG emissions from the life cycle of ICE automobiles are 4.48 E+07 kg CO2-e which is320 times higher than that of the electric automobiles.The hotspot area of the GHG emissions from ICE and electric automobiles are operation phase and manufacturing process,respectively.Interesting results were observed that comparable total emergy of the ICE automobiles and electric automobiles have been calculated which were 1.54 E+17 and 2.20 E+17 sej,respectively.Analysis on emergy index evidenced a better environmental sustainability of electric automobiles than ICE automobiles over the life cycle due to its higher ESI.To the authors’knowledge,it is the first time to integrate the analysis of GHG emissions together with emergy in industrial area of automobile engineering.It is expected that the integration of emergy and GHG emissions analysis may provide a comprehensive perspective on eco-industrial sustainability of automobile engineering.

文摘Waste heat recovery is one of the possible solutions to improve the efficiency of internal combustion engines.Instead of wasting the exhaust stream of an energy conversion system into the environment,its residual energy content can be usefully recovered,for example in Organic Rankine Cycles(ORC).This technology has been largely consolidated in stationary power plants but not yet for mobile applications,such as road transport,due to the limitations in the layout and to the constraints on the size and weight of the ORC system.An ORC system installed on the exhaust line of a bus powered by a natural gas spark ignition engine has been investigated.The thermal power available at engine exhaust has been evaluated by measuring gas temperature and mass flow rate during real driving operation.The waste thermal power has been considered as heat input for the ORC plant simulation.A detailed heat exchanger model has been developed because it is a crucial component for the ORC performance.The exergy analysis of the ORC was performed comparing different working fluids:R601,R1233zd(E)and two zeotropic blends of the two organic pure fluids.The model allowed the evaluation of the ORC produced energy over the driving cycle and the potential benefit on the engine efficiency.

文摘In this study,we report an analysis of cylinder head vibration signals at a steady engine speed using short-time Fourier transform(STFT).Three popular time-frequency analysis techniques,i.e.,STFT,analytic wavelet transform(AWT) and S transform(ST),have been examined.AWT and ST are often applied in engine signal analyses.In particular,an AWT expression in terms of the quality factor Q and an analytical relationship between ST and AWT have been derived.The time-frequency resolution of a Gaussian function windowed STFT was studied via numerical simulation.Based on the simulation,the empirical limits for the lowest distinguishable frequency as well as the time and frequency resolutions were determined.These can provide insights for window width selection,spectrogram interpretation and artifact identification.Gaussian function windowed STFTs were applied to some cylinder head vibration signals.The spectrograms of the same signals from ST and AWT were also determined for comparison.The results indicate that the uniform resolution feature of STFT is not necessarily a disadvantage for time-frequency analysis of vibration signals when the engine is in stationary state because it can more accurately localize the frequency components excited by transient excitations without much loss of time resolution.

文摘In this paper,the operation characteristics of a microscale internal combustion swing engine(MICSE)were investigated experimentally and numerically.The energy flow path of MICSE was comprehensively analyzed based on the first law of thermodynamics.The accuracy of zero-dimensional model was verified by experiments.The indicative thermal efficiency of the engine increases first and then decreases with the increase of equivalent ratio or ignition advance angle.The results show that there exists an optimum equivalent ratio and ignition advance angle during operation.The maximum efficiency of the engine reaches 12.5%when the equivalent ratio and ignition advance angle are 0.8 and−0.553,respectively.MICSE can operate normally when the equivalent ratio is greater than 0.6.The peak value of net heat release rate lags behind that of pressure change,which is different from the conventional crank engine.Experimental and simulation results show that the leakage of MICSE is serious,and it is the main loss of MICSE.The order of energy terms is as follows:leakage loss>exhaust loss>heat loss>indicative work.
文摘Enhancing distribution system resilience is a new challenge for researchers.Supplying distribution loads,especially the residential customers and high-priority loads after disasters,is vital for this purpose.In this paper,the internal combustion engine(ICE)vehicles are firstly introduced as valuable backup energy sources in the aftermath of disasters and the use of this technology is explained.Then,the improvement of distribution system resilience is investigated through supplying smart residential customers and injecting extra power to the main grid.In this method,it is assumed that the infrastructure of distribution system is partially damaged(common cases)and it can be restored in less than one day.The extra power of residential customer can be delivered to other loads.A novel formulation for increasing the injected power of the smart home to the main grid using ICE vehicles is proposed.Moreover,the maximum backup duration in case of extensive damages in the distribution system is calculated for some commercial ICE vehicles.In this case,the smart home cannot deliver extra energy to the main grid because of its survivability.Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for increasing backup power during power outages.It is also shown that ICE vehicles can supply residential customers for a reasonable amount of time during a power outage.

文摘A contact bolt model is proposed as a new modeling technique to investigate the complex structure with bolted joints for modal analysis and compared with the coupled bolt model, and the test results are given. Among these models, the coupled bolt model provides the best accurate responses compared with the experimental results. The contact bolt model shows the best effectiveness and usefulness in view of operational time. The bolt models proposed in this study are adopted for a dynamic characteristic analysis of a large diesel engine consisting of several parts which are connected by many bolts. The dynamic behavior of the entire engine structure was investigated by experiment. The coupled bolt model and the contact bolt model were applied to model the assembly of engine with high preload. The experimental results are in good agreement with the finite element method (FEM) results. Compared with the other models, the contact bolt model presented in this paper is more effective and useful in view of operational time and experience of analysts.

文摘To improve mesh quality for KIVA-3V a method has been developed for rapid mesh generation and dynamic mesh management with moving valves for internal combustion engines. Two phases are included in rapid mesh generation: the initial mesh generation and the mesh pre-treatment. In the second step (pre-treatment), the connectivity of those cells is generated by a new algorithm added to the KIVA-3V code after the initial mesh generated. In dynamic mesh management phase, a new rezoning algorithm is developed and the basic principle is that the rezoning starts from the moving part. The movement of the adjustment is treated as an "earth quake wave" propagating to the surrounding vertexes. The amount of coordinate adjustment of the surrounding vertexes is determined by the movement of the epicenter and the distance between the vertexes and the "epicenter". Finally, a real IC engine mesh is generated and managed aceording to the new method. It gives a new theory and a new method for creating and managing the mesh in IC engine.
