This model takes into account the finite-time evolution of the cycle’s compression and power strokes and it considers global losses lumped in a friction like term. The relations between the power output and the compression ratio, and between the thermal efficiency and the compression ratio are derived. Numerical example leads to loop-shaped power versus efficiency cures as is common to almost all real heat engines.展开更多

The morphology, structure, Cu content and valence state were characterized by SEM, XRD, ICP and XPS, respectively. The experimental results show the active component Cu of the catalysts via in situ synthesis could significantly improve the selective catalytic reduction （SCR） activities of NOx and the optimal Cu content is in the range of 0.30%-0.40%（mass fraction）. No N 2 O is detected by gas chromatograph （GC） during the evaluation process, which implies that NOx is almost entirely converted to N2 over Cu-SAPO-34/cordierite catalyst. The conversion rate of NOx to N2 by NH3 over catalyst could almost be up to 100%in the temperature range of 300-670 ℃with a space velocity of 12000 h-1 and it is still more than 60% at 300-620 ℃ under 36000 h-1. The catalysts also show the good hydrothermal and chemical stability at the atmosphere with H 2 O.展开更多

In this paper, the effects of biodiesel and its blend on engine emission and performance characteristics in an internal combustion engine were analyzed. Biodiesel derived from the transesterification of raw palm oil was blended with diesel fuel at different proportions designated as PO5 (5% Biodiesel and 95% Diesel), PO10 (10% Biodiesel and 90% Diesel), PO15 (15% Biodiesel and 85% Diesel), PO20 (20% Biodiesel and 80% Diesel), PO50 (50% Biodiesel and 50% Diesel), PO85 (85% Biodiesel and 15% Diesel), and PO100 (100% Biodiesel). A Lombardini 2-cylinder, four-stroke direct injection diesel engine with a compression ratio of 22.8 was developed using Ricardo Wave software in which diesel, palm oil biodiesel blends and pure biodiesel are used in the model, and the obtained results were analysed and presented. The simulation was done under varying engine speeds of 1200 rpm to 3200 rpm at full load condition. Biodiesel and its blends are more environment-friendly and non-toxic when compared to diesel fuel;it also improves the mechanical efficiency of the engines, and above all can also lead to a reduction in poverty among rural dwellers. The obtained results showed that brake specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency increased with palm oil biodiesel blends as compared to diesel fuel which might be a result of biodiesel’s lower heating value, and the increase in thermal energy may be a result of the oxygenation of the biodiesel blend as compared to pure diesel. In terms of brake torque, palm oil biodiesel blends were lesser than diesel fuel. The CO, HC, and NO<sub>x</sub> emissions of palm oil biodiesel blends decreased significantly compared to that of pure diesel. From this study, palm oil biodiesel emits lesser emissions than diesel fuel and its performance characteristics are similar to diesel fuel. Therefore, palm oil biodiesel can be used without any modifications directly in a diesel engine. In addition, it can also be used as blends as an alternative and sustainable fuel, decreasing air pollution, and increasing environmental sustainability.展开更多

Both the DOC and the CDPF led to a high conversion of NO to NO2 for continuous regeneration. The filtration efficiency on solid particle number（SPN） was close to100%. The post-CDPF particles were mainly in accumulation mode. The downstream SPN was sensitively influenced by the variation of the soot loading. This phenomenon provides a method for determining the balance point temperature by measuring the trend of SPN concentration.展开更多

The results showed that the application of the after-treatments increased the emission ratios of NO2/NOx significantly. The results of smoke emissions and particle number （PN） emissions indicated that both CRDPFs had sufficient capacity to remove more than 90% of total particulate matter （PM） and more than 97% of solid particles. However, the POC was able to remove the organic components of total PM, and only partially to remove the carbonaceous particles with size less than 30 nm. The negligible effects of POC on larger particles were observed due to its honeycomb structure leads to an inadequate residence time to oxidize the solid particles or trap them. The particles removal efficiencies of CRDPFs had high degree of correlations with the emission ratio of NO2/NOx. The PN emission results from two CRDPFs indicated that more NO2 generating in diesel oxidation catalyst section could obtain the higher removal efficiency of solid particles. However this also increased the risk of NO2 exposure in atmosphere.展开更多

Two CRDPF units （CRDPF-1 and CRDPF-2） with different specifications were separately retrofitted to the engine running with European steady-state cycle （ESC）. An electrical low pressure impactor （ELPI） was used for particle number-size distribution measurement and mass estimation. The conversion/reduction rate （RcR） of hydrocarbons （HC） and carbon monoxide （CO） across CRDPF-1 was 83% and 96.3%, respectively. Similarly, the RCR of HC and CO and across CRDPF-2 was 91.8% and 99.1%, respectively. The number concentration of particles and their concentration peaks; nuclei mode, accumulation mode and total particles; and particle mass were highly reduced with the CRDPF units. The nuclei mode particles at downstream of CRDPF-1 and CRDPF-2 decreased by 99.9% to 100% and 97.8% to 99.8% respectively; and the particle mass reduced by 73% to 92.2% and 35.3% to 72.4%, respectively, depending on the engine conditions. In addition, nuclei mode particles increased with the increasing of engine speed due to the heterogeneous nucleation initiated by the higher exhaust temperature, while accumulation mode particles were higher at higher loads due to the decrease in the air-to-fuel ratio （A/F） at higher loads.展开更多

文摘The current work includes a numerical investigation of the effect of biodiesel blends with different aluminum oxide nanoparticle concentrations on the combustion process in the cylinder of a diesel engine.IC Engine Fluent,a specialist computational tool in the ANSYS software,was used to simulate internal combustion engine dynamics and combustion processes.Numerical analysis was carried out using biodiesel blends with three Al_(2)O_(3) nanoparticles in 50,100,and 150 ppm concentrations.The tested samples are called D100,B20,B20A50,B20A100,and B20A150 accordingly.The modeling runs were carried out at various engine loads of 0,100,and 200 Nm at a rated speed of 1800 rpm.The combustion characteristics are improved due to the catalytic effect and higher surface area of nano additives.The results showed the improvements in the combustion process as the result of nanoparticle addition,which led to the higher peak cylinder pressure.The increases in the peak cylinder pressures for B20A50,B20A100,and B20A150 about B20 were 3%,5%,and 8%,respectively,at load 200 Nm.The simulation found that the maximum temperature for biodiesel blends diesel was higher than pure diesel;this was due to higher hydrocarbon values of B20.Also,nano-additives caused a decrease in temperatures in the combustion of biofuels.
文摘Misfire is a common fault in compression ignition engines,characterized by the absence or flame loss due to insufficient fuel in the cylinders.This fault is difficult to diagnose and resolve due to its multiple potential causes.This study focuses on identifying misfires in a 12-cylinder V-type marine diesel engine by analyzing vibration data collected from 15 accelerometers mounted on the engine block.Three machine learning algorithms—K-Nearest Neighbors(K-NNs),support vector machines(SVMs),and random forests(RFs)—were employed to classify engine conditions using 18 time-domain features.Results showed that the K-NN,SVM and RF algorithms achieved F1 scores of 99.87%,100%,and 99.87%,respectively,when using 18 time-domain features and all 15 accelerometers mounted on the engine block.Additionally,the study evaluated classification performance while reducing the number of accelerometers and features using two methods:Relief-F and general combinatory analysis(GCA).Although the GCA method yields better results when using only two accelerometers and nine features for misfire classification,its overall process required substantially more computational time compared to Relief-F.The best result obtained with Relief-F was achieved using 3 accelerometers and 18 features.Therefore,Relief-F proved to be more practical and take less overall computational time within the proposed framework.
文摘Limiting environmental pollution from exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines includes many measures,including encouraging biofuel use because biofuel is environmentally friendly and renewable.A mixture of diesel fuel and vegetable oil is a form of biofuel.However,some properties of the mixed fuel,such as viscosity and density,are higher than those of traditional diesel fuel,affecting the injection and combustion process and reducing power and non-optimal toxic emissions,especially soot emissions.This study uses Kiva-3V software to simulate the combustion process of a diesel-vegetable oil mixture in the combustion chamber of a fishing vessel diesel engine with changes in fuel injection timing.The results show that when increasing the fuel injection timing of a diesel-vegetable oil mixture about 1–2 degrees of crankshaft rotation angle before the top dead center compared to diesel fuel injection timing,the engine power increases,and soot emissions decrease compared to no adjustment.The above simulation research results will help orient the experiments conveniently and reduce costs in the future experimental research process to quantify the fuel system adjustment of fishing vessels’diesel engines when using biofuels,including diesel-vegetable oil mixtures.Thus,the engine’s economic indicators will improve,and emissions that pollute the environment will be limited.

文摘The addition of cold flow improvers(CFIs)is considered as the optimum strategy to improve the cold flow properties(CFPs)of diesel fuels,but this strategy is always limited by the required large dosage.To obtain low-dosage and high-efficiency CFIs for diesel,1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride(THPA)was introduced as a third and polar monomer to enhance the depressive effects of alkyl methacrylatetrans anethole copolymers(C_(14)MC-TA).The terpolymers of alkyl methacrylate-trans anethole-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride(C_(14)MC-TA-THPA)were synthesized and compared with the binary copolymers of C_(14)MC-TA and alkyl methacrylate-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride(C_(14)MC-THPA).Results showed that C_(14)MC-THPA achieved the best depressive effects on the cold filter plugging point(CFPP)and solid point(SP)by 11℃and 16℃at a dosage of 1250 mg/L and monomer ratio of 6:1,while 1500mg/L C_(14)MC-TA(1:1)reached the optimal depressive effects on the CFPP and SP by 12℃and 18℃.THPA introduction significantly improved the depressive effects of C_(14)MC-TA.Lower dosages of C_(14)MCTA-THPA in diesel exerted better improvement effects on the CFPP and SP than that of C_(14)MC-TA and C_(14)MC-THPA.When the monomer ratio and dosage were 6:0.6:0.4 and 1000 mg/L,the improvement effect of C_(14)MC-TA-THPA on diesel reached the optimum level,and the CFPP and SP were reduced by 13℃and 19℃,respectively.A 3D nonlinear surface diagram fitted by a mathematical model was also used for the first time to better understand the relationships of monomer ratios,dosages,and depressive effects of CFIs in diesel.Surface analysis results showed that C_(14)MC-TA-THPA achieved the optimum depressive effects at a monomer ratio of 6:0.66:0.34 and dosage of 1000 mg/L,and the CFPP and SP decreased by 14℃ and 19℃,respectively.The predicted results were consistent with the actual ones.Additionally,the improvement mechanism of these copolymers in diesel was also explored.

文摘This study introduces a novel core-shell structured composite,Cu/SSZ-13@CeO_(2),designed to boost the catalyst’s resistance to hydrothermal conditions.Characterization results reveal that encapsulating Cu/SSZ-13 with a ceria(CeO_(2))shell markedly enhances hydrothermal stability by maintaining the functionality of[Cu(OH)]+active sites and averting their deactivation.Furthermore,the CeO_(2) shell substantially prevents the loss of crucial Lewis and Bronsted acid sites,essential for effective SCR performance.A significant finding is the formation of a"Ce-O-Al"bond between the CeO_(2) shell and the Cu/SSZ-13 core,which plays a crucial role in reinforcing the structural stability of the zeolite framework.These insights contribute significantly to the development of robust anti-hydrothermal aging catalysts for mobile SCR applications,heralding the advancement of more efficient SCR catalyst technologies.

文摘To enhance power supply reliability and reduce customer outage time,Mobile Emergency Power Supply Vehicles(MEPSVs),including Mobile Diesel Generator Vehicles(MDGVs)and Mobile Energy Storage Vehicles(MESVs),have become indispensable sources for grid maintenance and disaster response.However,in practice,relying solely on MESVs is constrained by battery capacity,making it difficult to meet long-duration power demands.Conversely,using only MDGVs often results in low efficiency and high fuel consumption under fluctuating load conditions,posing challenges to achieving economical and efficient power supply.To address these issues,this paper investigates the parallel power supply architecture of MDGV and MESV,and develops control models for diesel generator and energy storage converter.A fuel-minimization-oriented power distribution strategy is proposed for coordinated operation,aiming to minimize fuel consumption while maintaining the energy storage state of charge(SOC)within a reasonable range.Furthermore,a voltage–frequency control strategy is employed for the energy storage converter,while active power control is applied to the diesel generator.Through adaptive operation mode switching,the proposed strategy enables efficient and cost-effective parallel operation of MDGV and MESV,ensuring long-duration power supply across a wide load range.This approach overcomes the limitations of conventional single-source power supplymethods and provides an effective control solution for the intelligent and efficient operation of emergency power supply systems.Finally,the feasibility of the proposed strategy is verified through simulation and further demonstrated by experiments on a hardware platform.

文摘The emission regulations for heavy-duty diesel engines regarding nitrogen oxide(NO_(x))are becoming increasingly stringent,particularly in relation to cold start cycles.While the twostage selective catalytic reduction(SCR)has the potential to achieve ultra-low NO_(x) emissions,several challenges remain,including the accurate prediction of ammonia(NH_(3))storage mass and the co-control of the two-stage SCR.The first step in this study involved the establishment of a rapid control prototype platform to facilitate the development and validation of a two-stage SCR control strategy.Secondly,an initial method for predicting the NH_(3) storage based on the mass conservation law was proposed,which was subsequently improved by filling and emptying experiments.The third step involved the development of a two-stage SCR co-control strategy,including obtaining the steady-state NH_(3) storage target value,dynamic correction for NH_(3) storage target value,regulation of NH_(3) storage,and control of the close-coupled SCR urea injector state.Finally,the two-stage SCR urea injection control strategy was certified under the world harmonized transient cycle(WHTC).The results demonstrate that the composite value of engine outlet NO_(x) emissions under cold and hot start WHTC cycles is 13 g/(kW·h).Meanwhile,the composite value of tailpipe NO_(x) emissions under cold and hot start WHTC cycles is 0.065 g/(kW·h),representing only 14%of the EU VI limit value of 0.46 g/(kW·h).Thus,the findings demonstrate that integrating an accurate NH_(3) storage prediction method with the two-stage SCR co-control function is crucial for heavy-duty diesel engines to achieve ultra-low NO_(x) emissions.

文摘An irreversible simplified model for the air standard Diesel cycle is established in this paper. This model takes into account the finite-time evolution of the cycle’s compression and power strokes and it considers global losses lumped in a friction like term. The relations between the power output and the compression ratio, and between the thermal efficiency and the compression ratio are derived. Numerical example leads to loop-shaped power versus efficiency cures as is common to almost all real heat engines.

文摘Platinum/cerium-zirconium-sulfate（Pt/Ce-Zr-SO_4^（2-）） catalysts were prepared by wetness impregnation.Catalytic activities were evaluated from the combustion of propene and CO.Sulfate（SO_4^（2-））addition improved the catalytic activity significantly.When using Pt/Ce-Zr-SO_4^（2-） with 10 wt%SO_4^（2-）,the temperature for 90%conversion of propene and CO decreased by 75℃ compared with Pt/Ce-Zr.The conversion exceeded 95%at 240℃ even after 0.02%sulfur dioxide poisoning for 20 h.Temperature-programmed desorption of CO and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses revealed an improvement in Pt dispersion onto the Ce-Zr-SO_4^（2-） support,and the increased number of Pt particles built up more Pt^（-）-（SO_4^（2-））^（-） couples,which resulted in excellent activity.The increased total acidity and new Bronsted acid sites on the surface provided the Pt/Ce-Zr-SO_4^（2-） with good sulfur resistance.

文摘Cu-SAPO-34/cordierite catalysts were prepared via one-step hydrothermal synthesis method and their performances to remove NO x from the diesel vehicle exhaust were evaluated. The morphology, structure, Cu content and valence state were characterized by SEM, XRD, ICP and XPS, respectively. The experimental results show the active component Cu of the catalysts via in situ synthesis could significantly improve the selective catalytic reduction （SCR） activities of NOx and the optimal Cu content is in the range of 0.30%-0.40%（mass fraction）. No N 2 O is detected by gas chromatograph （GC） during the evaluation process, which implies that NOx is almost entirely converted to N2 over Cu-SAPO-34/cordierite catalyst. The conversion rate of NOx to N2 by NH3 over catalyst could almost be up to 100%in the temperature range of 300-670 ℃with a space velocity of 12000 h-1 and it is still more than 60% at 300-620 ℃ under 36000 h-1. The catalysts also show the good hydrothermal and chemical stability at the atmosphere with H 2 O.

文摘Increasing global environmental issues and depleting fossil fuel reserves has necessitated the need for alternative and sustainable fuel. In this paper, the effects of biodiesel and its blend on engine emission and performance characteristics in an internal combustion engine were analyzed. Biodiesel derived from the transesterification of raw palm oil was blended with diesel fuel at different proportions designated as PO5 (5% Biodiesel and 95% Diesel), PO10 (10% Biodiesel and 90% Diesel), PO15 (15% Biodiesel and 85% Diesel), PO20 (20% Biodiesel and 80% Diesel), PO50 (50% Biodiesel and 50% Diesel), PO85 (85% Biodiesel and 15% Diesel), and PO100 (100% Biodiesel). A Lombardini 2-cylinder, four-stroke direct injection diesel engine with a compression ratio of 22.8 was developed using Ricardo Wave software in which diesel, palm oil biodiesel blends and pure biodiesel are used in the model, and the obtained results were analysed and presented. The simulation was done under varying engine speeds of 1200 rpm to 3200 rpm at full load condition. Biodiesel and its blends are more environment-friendly and non-toxic when compared to diesel fuel;it also improves the mechanical efficiency of the engines, and above all can also lead to a reduction in poverty among rural dwellers. The obtained results showed that brake specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency increased with palm oil biodiesel blends as compared to diesel fuel which might be a result of biodiesel’s lower heating value, and the increase in thermal energy may be a result of the oxygenation of the biodiesel blend as compared to pure diesel. In terms of brake torque, palm oil biodiesel blends were lesser than diesel fuel. The CO, HC, and NO<sub>x</sub> emissions of palm oil biodiesel blends decreased significantly compared to that of pure diesel. From this study, palm oil biodiesel emits lesser emissions than diesel fuel and its performance characteristics are similar to diesel fuel. Therefore, palm oil biodiesel can be used without any modifications directly in a diesel engine. In addition, it can also be used as blends as an alternative and sustainable fuel, decreasing air pollution, and increasing environmental sustainability.

文摘This study investigated the filtration and continuous regeneration of a particulate filter system on an engine test bench, consisting of a diesel oxidation catalyst（DOC） and a catalyzed diesel particulate filter（CDPF）. Both the DOC and the CDPF led to a high conversion of NO to NO2 for continuous regeneration. The filtration efficiency on solid particle number（SPN） was close to100%. The post-CDPF particles were mainly in accumulation mode. The downstream SPN was sensitively influenced by the variation of the soot loading. This phenomenon provides a method for determining the balance point temperature by measuring the trend of SPN concentration.

文摘Two continuously regenerating diesel particulate filter （CRDPF） with different configurations and one particles oxidation catalyst （POC） were employed to perform experiments in a controlled laboratory setting to evaluate their effects on NO2, smoke and particle number emissions. The results showed that the application of the after-treatments increased the emission ratios of NO2/NOx significantly. The results of smoke emissions and particle number （PN） emissions indicated that both CRDPFs had sufficient capacity to remove more than 90% of total particulate matter （PM） and more than 97% of solid particles. However, the POC was able to remove the organic components of total PM, and only partially to remove the carbonaceous particles with size less than 30 nm. The negligible effects of POC on larger particles were observed due to its honeycomb structure leads to an inadequate residence time to oxidize the solid particles or trap them. The particles removal efficiencies of CRDPFs had high degree of correlations with the emission ratio of NO2/NOx. The PN emission results from two CRDPFs indicated that more NO2 generating in diesel oxidation catalyst section could obtain the higher removal efficiency of solid particles. However this also increased the risk of NO2 exposure in atmosphere.

文摘The effects of continuously regenerating diesel particulate filter （CRDPF） systems on regulated gaseous emissions, and number-size distribution and mass of particles emanated from a diesel engine have been investigated in this study. Two CRDPF units （CRDPF-1 and CRDPF-2） with different specifications were separately retrofitted to the engine running with European steady-state cycle （ESC）. An electrical low pressure impactor （ELPI） was used for particle number-size distribution measurement and mass estimation. The conversion/reduction rate （RcR） of hydrocarbons （HC） and carbon monoxide （CO） across CRDPF-1 was 83% and 96.3%, respectively. Similarly, the RCR of HC and CO and across CRDPF-2 was 91.8% and 99.1%, respectively. The number concentration of particles and their concentration peaks; nuclei mode, accumulation mode and total particles; and particle mass were highly reduced with the CRDPF units. The nuclei mode particles at downstream of CRDPF-1 and CRDPF-2 decreased by 99.9% to 100% and 97.8% to 99.8% respectively; and the particle mass reduced by 73% to 92.2% and 35.3% to 72.4%, respectively, depending on the engine conditions. In addition, nuclei mode particles increased with the increasing of engine speed due to the heterogeneous nucleation initiated by the higher exhaust temperature, while accumulation mode particles were higher at higher loads due to the decrease in the air-to-fuel ratio （A/F） at higher loads.
