Review of Waste Heat Recovery Mechanisms for Internal Combustion Engines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The demand for more fuel efficient vehicles has been growing steadily and will only continue to increase given the volatility in the commodities market for petroleum resources. The internal combustion (IC) engine utilizes ...
Experimental Study of Spark Plasma Stretching and Combustion Variations Analysis Using Flame Luminosity Images From an Optically Accessible Internal Combustion Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Understanding the behavior of spark plasma and flame initiation in internal combustion engines leads to improvement in fuel economy and exhaust emissions. This paper experimentally investigated spark plasma stretching and ...
Comparison of Piston Temperature Measurement Methods: Templugs Versus Wireless Telemetry With Thermocouples
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of this investigation was to compare the results of metallurgical temperature sensors and thermocouples when used to measure piston temperatures in a running engine. Type J thermocouples and a microwave ...
Influence of Charge Motion and Compression Ratio on the Performance of a Combustion Concept Employing In-Cylinder Gasoline and Natural Gas Blending
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present paper represents a small piece of an extensive experimental effort investigating the dual-fuel operation of a light-duty spark ignited engine. Natural gas (NG) was directly injected into the cylinder and gasoline ...
