One major drawback of spark-ignition direct-injection (SIDI) engines is increased particulate matter (PM) emissions at high load, due to wall wetting and a reduction in available mixture preparation time when compared port-fuel injection (PFI).It therefore necessary understand the mechanics behind strategies which are capable reducing these while also maintaining performance efficiency engine.Splitting fuel delivery into two or more injections proven way working towards this goal, however,...
One major drawback of spark-ignition direct-injection (SIDI) engines is increased particulate matter (PM) and unburned hydrocarbon emissions at high load, due to wall wetting a reduction in available air/fuel mixing time when compared port-fuel injection (PFI).It therefore necessary understand the mechanics behind strategies which are capable reducing these while also maintaining performance efficiency engine.This study investigates effect varying number fuel events equivalence ratio on...
Stringent particulate emission regulations are applied to spark-ignition direct-injection (SIDI) engines, calling for a significant in-cylinder reduction of soot particles.To enhance fundamental knowledge the formation and oxidation process inside cylinder engine, new in-flame particle sampling system has been developed implemented in working optical SIDI engine with side-mounted, wall-guided injection system.Using probes installed on piston top, particles directly sampled from petrol flame...
The present study explores the effect of in-cylinder generated nonthermal plasma on hydroxyl and soot development.Plasma was using a newly developed Microwave Discharge Igniter (MDI), device which operates based principle microwave resonation has potential to accentuate formation active radical pools as well suppress while stimulating oxidation.Three diagnostic techniques were employed in single-cylinder small-bore optical diesel engine, including chemiluminescence imaging electronically...
