  2. 1. On CFD-Analysis of Heat Transfer of a Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine

    Author : Helgi Fridriksson; Värmeöverföring; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD; Heat Transfer; Diesel Engine;

    Abstract : In this work, a heavy-duty diesel engine was studied by employing CFD simulations on a closed volume engine segment. These simulations were used to evaluate both the effects from certain parameters on the wall heat transfer, and to examine how reduction of heat transfer would effect the engine performance and emission levels.

  4. 2. Combustion Bowl Heat Transfer Analysis in Diesel and PPC Engines

    Author : Helgi Fridriksson; Värmeöverföring; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Heat Transfer; CFD; Internal Combustion Engine; Diesel; PPC;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns a numerical investigation on heat transfer in internal combustion engines, with the aim of increasing engine efficiency. The efficiency gains are to be extracted from reduced heat transfer losses, by increasing the knowledge on how the heat transfer process is affected by various hardware and operational parameters in the engine.

  5. 3. Numerical Investigation of Internal Combustion Engine Related Flows

    Author : Martin Söder; Laszlo Fuchs; Martin Tunér; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD; LES; Engine; Intake; Compression;

    Abstract : Internal combustion engines has been used for more than 100 years. The use of the abundant energy supply stored as hydrocarbon fueled unprecedented economic growth. The use of hydrocarbons increased the work output of human labor significantly, thus increasing the economy and prosperity. READ MORE

  6. 4. CFD-based Analysis of Combustion Processes in a Free-Piston Diesel Engine

    Author : Miriam Bergman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; chemical kinetics; Diesel; homogeneous charge compression ignition HCCI ; free-piston; equivalence ratio vs. temperature maps; computational fluid dynamics CFD ; surrogate fuel;

    Abstract : The Free Piston Engine (FPE) which is capable of operating in a variable compression ratio mode, allows flexible auto-ignition control on a cycle-to-cycle basis without any hardware modifications. In this study combustion processes in an FPE were examined using the KIVA-3V CFD code with detailed chemical kinetics (305 reactions among 70 species) of a Diesel surrogate fuel incorporated.

  7. 5. Modeling of Diesel Fuel Spray Formation and Combustion in OpenFOAM

    Author : Anne Kösters; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Combustion; Break-up; OpenFOAM; PaSR; CFD; Diesel; VRFM; VSB2; Spray;

    Abstract : The formation, ignition, and combustion of fuel sprays are highly complex processes and the available models have various shortcomings. The development and application of multidimensional CFD models, that describe the different phenomena have rapidly increased through the use of commercial and public software (e.g. READ MORE
