Abstract: Ignition and combustion mechanisms in diesel engines were studied using the KIVA code, with modifications to the combustion, heat transfer, crevice flow, and spray models. A laminar-and-turbulent ...

Abstract: A scaling method for characteristics of gas turbine components using experimental data or partially given data from engine manufacturers was newly proposed. In case of currently used traditional ...

Abstract: In comparative studies of constrained optimization methods the equality constrained recursive quadratic programming procedure has performed very favorably, particularly in terms of required computer ...

Abstract: Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) operated engines have the potential to provide the efficiency of a typical diesel engine, with very low NOx and particulate matter emissions. However, ...

Abstract: Detailed chemical kinetics was used in an engine CFD code to study the combustion process in HCCI engines. The CHEMKIN code was implemented in KIVA such that the chemistry and flow solutions ...

Abstract: This paper describes the application of a genetically engineered microorganism,

Abstract: This paper presents a multicriteria decision-making approach to evaluate contractor candidates in the open competition of construction project procurement by means of a knowledge-framed analytic network process (KANP), ...
