This paper presents a new in-cylinder mixture preparation andignitionsystem for various fuels including hydrogen, methane and propane. Thesystem comp...
A method is presented for idle speed controlof a leanburn spark ignition internal combustion engine using a fuel-based control strategy. In particular, the idle speed control strategy involves using a combination of fuel quantity or...
A constant-volume combustion chamber was used to examine injection of a small quantity of slightly rich fuel/air mixture towards the spark plug around the time ofignition, in an overall very lean mixture rotating at velocities repres...
Many researches on natural gas engines, with lean mixtures are being conducted for the purpose of preservation of global environment. Lean combustion is...
This paper discusses the combustion characteristics of CNG under leanand stochiometric conditions in a direct injection engine. The experiments were ca...
Load and efficiency were reduced with the retarded ignition timing. A new engine controlsystem was installed with high power ignition modules, enabling a larger spark gap. Idle quality was improved and maximum load was increased with...
This paper demonstrates a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) controller design framework and a controller switching algorithm for MIMO controllers in...
Recent development in hydraulic fracking made natural gas (NG) to be a promising alternative gaseous fuel for heavy-duty diesel engines. The existing co...
Internal combustion (IC) engines are widely used in automotive, marine, agricultural and industrial machineries because of their superior performance, h...
Lean-burn natural-gas spark-ignition combustion inside a diesel geometry is characterized by two distinct and successive events: a rapid burning process...
