2. 1. Numerical Studies of Flow and AssociatedLosses in the Exhaust Port of a Diesel Engine

   Author : Yue Wang; Laszlo Fuchs; Mihai Mihaescu; Angelo Onorati; KTH; []
   Keywords : Internal Combustion Engine; Exhaust flow; Exhaust Valve; Exhaust Port; Large Eddy Simulation; Valve and Piston Motion; Total Pressure Losses; Energy Losses; Discharge coefficient; Flow Losses; Flow structures; Air Flow Bench; Engine-like Conditions; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

   Abstract : In the last decades, the focus of internal combustion engine development has moved towards more efficient and less pollutant engines. In a Diesel engine, approximately 30-40% of the energy provided by combustion is lost through the exhaust gases. The exhaust gases are hot and therefore rich of energy. READ MORE

7. 5. On Gas Dynamics of Exhaust Valves

   Author : Marcus Winroth; P. Henrik Alfredsson; Ramis Örlü; Knud Erik Meyer; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Exhaust valve; poppet valve; dynamic valve; engine modeling; discharge coefficient; Avgasventil; rörlig ventil; motorsimulering; utsläppskoefficient; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : With increasing effects of global warming, efforts are made to make transportationin general more fuel efficient. When it comes to internal combustion engines,the most common way to improve fuel efficiency is through ‘downsizing’. Downsizingmeans that a smaller engine (with lower losses and less weight) performsthe task of a larger engine. READ MORE
