Book Description
This book focuses on developing strategies for ultra-lean combustion of natural gas and hydrogen, and contributes to the research on extending the lean flammability limit of hydrogen and air using a hot supersonic jet. The author addresses experimental methods, data analysis techniques, and results throughout each chapter and: Explains the fundamental mechanisms behind turbulent hot jet ignition using non-dimensional analysis Explores ignition characteristics by impinging hot jet and multiple jets in relation to better controllability and lean combustion Explores how different instability modes interact with the acoustic modes of the combustion chamber. This book provides a potential answer to some of the issues that arise from lean engine operation, such as poor ignition, engine misfire, cycle-to-cycle variability, combustion instability, reduction in efficiency, and an increase in unburned hydrocarbon emissions. This thesis was submitted to and approved by Purdue University.

Book Description
The number of vehicles powered by a source of energy other than traditional petroleum fuels will increase as time passes. However, based on current predictions, vehicles run on liquid fuels will be the major source of transportation for decades to come. Advanced combustion technologies can improve fuel economy of internal combustion (IC) engines and reduce exhaust emissions. The Dual Mode, Turbulent Jet Ignition (DM-TJI) system is an advanced, distributed combustion technology which can achieve high diesel-like thermal efficiencies at medium to high loads and potentially exceed diesel efficiencies at low-load operating conditions. The DM-TJI strategy extends the mixture flammability limits by igniting lean and/or highly dilute mixtures, leading to low-temperature combustion (LTC) modes in spark ignition (SI) engines. A novel, reduced order, and physics-based model was developed to predict the behavior of a DM-TJI engine with a pre-chamber air valve assembly. The engine model developed was calibrated based on experimental data from a Prototype II DM-TJI engine. This engine was designed, built, and tested at the MSU Energy and Automotive Research Laboratory (EARL). A predictive, generalized model was introduced to obtain a complete engine fuel map for the DM-TJI engine. The engine fuel map was generated in a four-cylinder boosted configuration under highly dilute conditions, up to 40% external exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). A vehicle simulation was then performed to further explore fuel economy gains using the fuel map generated for the DM-TJI engine. The DM-TJI engine was embodied in an industry-based vehicle to examine the behavior of the engine over the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) driving schedules. The results obtained from the drive cycle analysis of the DM-TJI engine in an industry-based vehicle were compared to the results of the same vehicle with its original engine. The vehicle equipped with the DM-TJI system was observed to benefit from ~13% improvement in fuel economy and ~11% reduction in CO2 emission over the EPA combined city/high driving schedules. Potential improvements were discussed, as these results of the drive cycle analysis are the first-ever reported results for a DM-TJI engine embodied in an industry-based vehicle. The resulting fuel economy and CO2 emission were used to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of a DM-TJI engine. The cost-benefit analysis followed the economic and key inputs used by the U.S. EPA in a Proposed Determination prepared by that agency. The outcomes of the cost-benefit analysis for the vehicle equipped with the DM-TJI system were reported in comparison with the same vehicle with its base engine. The extra costs of a DM-TJI engine were observed to be compensated over the first three years of the vehicle's life time. The results projected maximum savings of approximately 2400 in 2019 dollars. This includes the lifetime-discounted present value of the net benefits of the DM-TJI technology, compared to the base engine examined. In this dollar saving estimate, the societal effects of CO2 emission were calculated based on values by the interagency working group (IWG) at 3% discount rate.

Book Description
The combustion of fossil fuels remains a key technology for the foreseeable future. It is therefore important that we understand the mechanisms of combustion and, in particular, the role of turbulence within this process. Combustion always takes place within a turbulent flow field for two reasons: turbulence increases the mixing process and enhances combustion, but at the same time combustion releases heat which generates flow instability through buoyancy, thus enhancing the transition to turbulence. The four chapters of this book present a thorough introduction to the field of turbulent combustion. After an overview of modeling approaches, the three remaining chapters consider the three distinct cases of premixed, non-premixed, and partially premixed combustion, respectively. This book will be of value to researchers and students of engineering and applied mathematics by demonstrating the current theories of turbulent combustion within a unified presentation of the field.

Book Description
This book focuses on clean transport and mobility essential to the modern world. It discusses internal combustion engines (ICEs) and alternatives like battery electric vehicles (BEVs) which are growing fast. Alternatives to ICEs start from a very low base and face formidable environmental, material availability, and economic challenges to unlimited and rapid growth. Hence ICEs will continue to be the main power source for transport for decades to come and have to be continuously improved to improve transport sustainability. The book highlights the need to assess proposed changes in the existing transport system on a life cycle basis. The volume includes chapters discussing the challenges faced by ICEs as well as chapters on novel fuels and fuel/ engine interactions which help in this quest to improve the efficiency of ICE and reduce exhaust pollutants. This book will be of interest to those in academia and industry alike.

Book Description
An understanding of the intricacies in the turbulent combustion process may be a key to solving many of the current energy and environmental problems. The essential nature of turbulent combustion can be derived from the interaction between stochastic flow fluctuations and deterministic molecular processes, such as chemical reaction and transport processes. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most challenging fields of engineering science today, requiring as it does the interaction of scientists and engineers in the respective fields of chemical kinetics and fluid mechanics. The 28 papers in this volume review recent advances in these two disciplines providing new insights into the fundamental processes, addressing a great deal of recent progress. This progress ranges from descriptions of elementary chemical kinetics, to working those descriptions into combustion calculations with large numbers of elementary steps, to improved understanding of turbulent reacting flows and advances in simulations of turbulent combustion. The contributions will inspire further research on many fronts, advancing the understanding of combustion processes, as well as fostering a growing interdisciplinary cooperation.

Book Description
Developing clean, sustainable energy systems is a pre-eminent issue of our time. Most projections indicate that combustion-based energy conversion systems will continue to be the predominant approach for the majority of our energy usage. Unsteady combustor issues present the key challenge associated with the development of clean, high-efficiency combustion systems such as those used for power generation, heating or propulsion applications. This comprehensive study is unique, treating the subject in a systematic manner. Although this book focuses on unsteady combusting flows, it places particular emphasis on the system dynamics that occur at the intersection of the combustion, fluid mechanics and acoustic disciplines. Individuals with a background in fluid mechanics and combustion will find this book to be an incomparable study that synthesises these fields into a coherent understanding of the intrinsically unsteady processes in combustors.
