Abstract: Ozone-assisted combustion has shown promise in stabilizing combustion and extending operating range of internal combustion engines. However, it has been reported that sensitivity of ozone quantity on combustion varies ...

Abstract: Surface wear is one of the major causes of damage to wire ropes in multilayer winding systems. This damage leads to performance degradation and affects the service safety of wire rope. To reveal the wear evolution and the ...

Abstract: Intake port flow performance plays a substantial role in determining the volumetric efficiency and in-cylinder charge motion of a spark-ignited engine. Steady-state flow bench and motored engine flow computational fluid ...

Abstract: A wear characterization study was performed to determine the useful lifetime of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) tooling for the friction stir welding (FSW) of stainless steel samples in support of a nuclear ...

Abstract: Reliably starting the engine during extremely cold ambient temperatures is one of the largest calibration and emissions challenges in engine development. Although cold-start conditions comprise only a small portion of an ...

Abstract: Expanding the range of HCCI operation will be critical for maximizing the fuel economy benefits in future vehicle applications. The mixture stratification, both thermal and compositional, can ...
