Book Description
Direct-injection (DI) Diesel or compression-ignition (CI) engine combustion process is investigated when new design and operational strategies are employed in order to achieve a high power-density (HPD) engine. This goal is being achieved by developing quantitative imaging and speciation methods of in-cylinder reaction processes. Main achievements made during the course of the present study included: Construction/development and implementation of (1) a digital imaging system consisting of five (5) units of high-speed cryogenically cooled infrared focal plane arrays operated by a single electronic-control-package, (2) a four-color-artificial intelligence method (FCAIM); (3) an optical DI-CI engine, (4) Rutgers Animation Program (RAP); (5) new electronic packages for imaging system; (6) vector weighted flame analysis for evaluating stability of in-cylinder reactions; (7) a new spectrometer and (8) a new HITRAN data base gas radiation model replacing our earlier model based on NASA IR handbook. A typical set of final results in the study is quantitative images (distributions of water vapor, soot, gas temperature and cylinder wall temperature at successive instants of time during the reaction period, which are obtained from the consecutive cycles. They are also further analyzed stability of flame propagations (e.g., repeatability) by using the vector weighted (special- and intensity-weighted analysis) to access the high-power density engine operations.

Book Description
The methodology of achieving a high power density (HPD, or brake mean effective pressure) direct-injection Diesel engine has been studied, which is directed to using high fuel/air ratio, high-speed and ceramic engine components. Among the main thrust to achieve these engine changes for an advanced Diesel engine is the design of a high injection pressure (HIP) fuel system. During the course of the present study, two Cummins 903 engines mated with a Rutger-built HIP were employed to investigate the engine response to HIP and in-cylinder processes by using the Rutgers high-speed infrared (IR) spectral digital imaging system. Five separate technical publications were prepared to report results obtained from the study. The main findings include: The HIP system permits engine operation at an air/fuel ratio of as rich as 18 to 1 with smoke emission not worse than with the conventional mechanical (low pressure) injection system; A high injection pressure improves HPD of a Diesel engine; A HIP unit promotes the (invisible) preflame reactions during the ignition delay period; The formation of the very first flame kernel is significantly affected by a cetane improver (fuel additive); The new three-color method developed in the present study was used to determine simultaneous distributions of temperature, soot and water vapor in the engine cylinder; and more. The techniques developed on the present ARO-sponsorship were employed in other engine studies and carried out under the sponsorship of industrial members and other U.S. governmental components.

Book Description
It was to investigate (invisible) preflame reactions taking place in a direct-injection compression ignition (DI-CI) engine during the ignition delay period and their effects on subsequent (visible) combustion reactions. The investigation was focused on the subject for an engine equipped with a high-pressure injection (HPI) unit in order to support the development of high-power-output Diesel engines. The use of HPZ was found to facilitate more air utilization in a DI-CI engine even operated with intake air at unusually high temperatures (e.g., encountered in uncooled engines). In order to achieve these goals, several new research methods were developed-advanced for the study, including Rutgers or Super Imaging System (SIS), spectrometric methods, and Rutgers Animation Program. The tools were employed on an optical single-cylinder Cummins 903 engine. Among the significant results in system development is that the basic methods for high-speed imaging achievable at consecutive cycles, which shed some new insight into complex in-cylinder phenomena. The new research methods developed under the present ARO study permits observation of timed global pictures of preflame propagation under various engine-fuel conditions. New findings of the study include that the fuel injected into the cylinder immediately commences to chemically react, unlike the previous thought that there is a physical delay proceeding actual chemical reactions. The reactions involved during the preflame reactions appear to be low-temperature kinetics controlled processes to affect the onset of visible-ray flame formation and combustion reactions. The preflame reaction species were found rapidly consumed as soon as the heat-releasing flame propagation took place.

Book Description
The process of fuel injection, spray atomization and vaporization, charge cooling, mixture preparation and the control of in-cylinder air motion are all being actively researched and this work is reviewed in detail and analyzed. The new technologies such as high-pressure, common-rail, gasoline injection systems and swirl-atomizing gasoline fuel injections are discussed in detail, as these technologies, along with computer control capabilities, have enabled the current new examination of an old objective; the direct-injection, stratified-charge (DISC), gasoline engine. The prior work on DISC engines that is relevant to current GDI engine development is also reviewed and discussed. The fuel economy and emission data for actual engine configurations have been obtained and assembled for all of the available GDI literature, and are reviewed and discussed in detail. The types of GDI engines are arranged in four classifications of decreasing complexity, and the advantages and disadvantages of each class are noted and explained. Emphasis is placed upon consensus trends and conclusions that are evident when taken as a whole; thus the GDI researcher is informed regarding the degree to which engine volumetric efficiency and compression ratio can be increased under optimized conditions, and as to the extent to which unburned hydrocarbon (UBHC), NOx and particulate emissions can be minimized for specific combustion strategies. The critical area of GDI fuel injector deposits and the associated effect on spray geometry and engine performance degradation are reviewed, and important system guidelines for minimizing deposition rates and deposit effects are presented. The capabilities and limitations of emission control techniques and after treatment hardware are reviewed in depth, and a compilation and discussion of areas of consensus on attaining European, Japanese and North American emission standards presented. All known research, prototype and production GDI engines worldwide are reviewed as to performance, emissions and fuel economy advantages, and for areas requiring further development. The engine schematics, control diagrams and specifications are compiled, and the emission control strategies are illustrated and discussed. The influence of lean-NOx catalysts on the development of late-injection, stratified-charge GDI engines is reviewed, and the relative merits of lean-burn, homogeneous, direct-injection engines as an option requiring less control complexity are analyzed.

Book Description
In order to help design a high-power-density (HPD) low-heat-rejection (LHR) high-injection-fuel (HIP) direct-injection compression-ignition engine (DI-CI, two main methods were employed: (1) engine performance analysis; and (2) in-cylinder imaging. In the performance analysis, a Cummins 903 engine was used. The range of air/fuel ratio studied was from 18-1 to over 35-1, the injection pressure investigated was as high as 30,625 psi (210 Mpa) under varied intake air temperature over 150 deg C. In the in-cylinder imaging, a separate optical single-cylinder Cummins 903 engine was used. A high-speed four-color IR digital imaging system was greatly improved during this contract period. New spectrometric methods were developed to simultaneously determine the distributions of temperature, water vapor and soot concentrations. In addition, a new data analysis and presentation method has been developed. The performance analysis results are reported in two parts: a preliminary report as included in Appendix-I and an additional set of results (Appendix-Ill). Some of the in-cylinder imaging results, which are now being captured by the improved 515 after incorporating with new electronic packages (designed and fabricated in our laboratory), are included with discussions.
