Abstract: Coupling waste heat recovery with internal combustion engines creates opportunities to improve overall system efficiency and power output. The internal combustion engine has multiple pathways for dissipating thermal energy; ...

Abstract: This study discusses the motion of the articulated connecting rod of an integral-engine compressor and the effect of the kinematics on in-cylinder pressure and port timings. A piston position modeling technique based on ...

Abstract: The diagnostic merits of high-speed (HS) exhaust gas temperature and pressure measurements for indexing engine stability and identifying abnormal combustion cycles are explored through experimental investigations on a low ...

Abstract: This study investigates the effects of engine bore size on diesel engine performance and combustion characteristics, including in-cylinder pressure, ignition delay, burn duration, and fuel conversion efficiency, using ...

Abstract: Two equations are developed to estimate laminar flame speed and ignition delay for different alkane mixtures at a range of engine-relevant conditions. Fuel mixtures of methane, ethane, propane, butane, and pentane were ...
