Abstract: In this paper pressure and velocity measurements on two theoretical compact manifold type junctions (compact pulse converters) under steady-state conditions are described. The velocity measurements ...

Abstract: This paper describes pressure and velocity measurements on a multipulse converter under steady-state conditions. Pressure loss coefficients were measured on this four-entry pulse converter system ...

Abstract: It is well known that adding hydrogen to natural gas extends the lean limit of combustion and that in this way extremely low emission levels can be obtained: even the equivalent zero emission ...

Abstract: The Laboratory of Transport Technology (Ghent University) converted a GM/Crusader V-8 engine for hydrogen use. The engine is intended for the propulsion of a midsize hydrogen city bus for public ...

Abstract: The initial size and growth of the plasma and flame kernel just after spark discharge in S.I. engines determines if the flame becomes self-sustainable or extinguishes. On the other hand, the ...

Abstract: The advantages of hydrogen fueled internal combustion engines are well known, certainly concerning the ultra-low noxious emissions (only NOx is to be considered). Disadvantages are the backfire ...

Abstract: In a previous paper [1] a simplified model has been proposed to calculate the pressure loss coefficients of a multipulse converter under steady-state flow conditions. Therefore a special test ...

Abstract: Recently a new TVD scheme was presented by the authors and a comparison was made with other algorithms for two engine related test cases (the shock tube and the tapered pipe). It was shown ...

Abstract: A comparison of different numerical algorithms used in commercial codes for the calculation of the one-dimensional unsteady flow in the pipes of the inlet and exhaust systems of internal ...
