Abstract: The incylinder temperature information is critical for autoignition combustion control in diesel engines, but difficult to be directly accessed at low cost in production engines. Through investigating the thermodynamics ...

Abstract: Turbocharger and negative valve overlap (NVO) strategy are widely used among advanced combustion modes for internal combustion engines. In order to achieve well emission performance, the NVO can be as large as 100 crank ...

Abstract: In this paper, a segmented specular reflection solar concentrator is proposed. Many mirrors are arranged in the same plane, and all the reflected rays fall on the cylindrical focal surface. The glass mirrors are placed in ...

Abstract: With the improvements in Diesel engine injection systems, the fuelingpath, which is more accurate, flexible, and faster than the airpath, can be actively utilized in conventional and advanced combustion mode controls, ...

Abstract: Three experimental structural models of a small radius curved bridge, which include a three-span small radius curved bridge model and its corresponding two different simplified models that are widely used (e.g., one mass ...

Abstract: The synergistic effect of mixing ethylene with propane on the nanostructure and morphology evolution of soot in laminar coflow diffusion flames was investigated via combining thermophoresis sampling and transmission electron ...

Abstract: Airport pavements, especially runway holding positions, are susceptible to high shear forces and thus rutting damages under the coupling effect of heavy aircraft loads and high temperatures. Pavements produced with commonly ...
