The scramjet engine is one of the most promising propulsive systems for future hypersonic vehicles. Over the last fifty years the scramjet engine technology has been intensively investigated and several such engines have been flight-tested in recent years (Neal, Michael, & Allan, 2005; Paul, Vincent, Luat, & Jeryl, 2004). Research on supersonic combustion technologies is of great significance for the design of the engine and many researchers pay significant attention to the hypersonic airbreathing propulsion. The mixing and diffusive combustion of fuel and air in conventional scramjet engines take place simultaneously in the combustor (Huang, Qin, Luo, & Wang, 2010). Since the incoming supersonic flow can stay in…
It is well known that the injection system plays a leading role in achieving high diesel engine performance; the introduction of the common rail fuel injection system (Boehner & Kumel, 1997; Schommers et al., 2000; Stumpp & Ricco, 1996) represented a major evolutionary step that allowed the diesel engine to reach high efficiency and low emissions in a wide range of load conditions. Many experimental works show the positive effects of splitting the injection process in several pilot, main and post injections on the reduction of noise, soot and NOx emission (Badami et al., 2002; Brusca et al., 2002; Henelin et al., 2002; Park et al., 2004; Schmid et al., 2002). In addition, the success of engine downsizing (Beatrice et al., 2003) and homogeneous charge combustion engines (HCCI) (Canakci & Reitz, 2004; Yamane & Shimamoto, 2002) is deeply connected with the injection system performance and injection strategy. However, the …
The four-stroke direct-injection diesel engine typical was measured and modeled by Bakar et al (2007) using GT-POWER computational model and has explored of diesel engine performance effect based on engine speeds. GT-POWER is the leading engine simulation tool used by engine and vehicle makers and suppliers and is suitable for analysis of a wide range of engine issues. The details of the diesel engine design vary significantly over the engine performance and size range. In particular, different combustion chamber geometries and fuel injection characteristics are required to deal effectively with major diesel engine design problem achieving sufficiently rapid fuel-air mixing rates to complete the fuel- burning process in the time …
Numerous papers have indicated that the present standard systems of injecting fuel directly into the combustion chamber, in the most economical, direct-injection diesel engines, have reached the limits of development. In order to maintain the emission of toxic components of exhaust gases within the ranges defined by both EURO V and projected EURO VI standards, various modifications to the combustion system will be necessary. It is known that injection through a conventional multi-hole nozzle, in combination with induced swirl in the air in the chamber, does not ensure that particulates and oxides of nitrogen…
