Bayesian models for the determination of resonant frequencies in a DI diesel engine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A time series method for the determination of combustion chamber resonant frequencies is outlined. This technique employs the use of Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to infer parameters in a chosen model of the data.

An Experimental Study on the Effects of Pre-Chamber Geometry on the Combustion Characteristics of Ammonia/Air Mixtures Using Turbulent Jet-Post Spark Ignition Strategy

open access: yesEnergies
As a carbon-free fuel, ammonia faces challenges in engine applications due to its low flame propagation speed and high ignition energy. The pre-chamber turbulent jet-post spark ignition strategy (TJ-PSI) has been proven effective in accelerating the ...

Servo-stabilization of combustion in rocket motors [PDF]

open access: yes, 1952
This paper shows that the combustion in the rocket motor can be stabilized against any value of time lag in combustion by a feedback servo link from a chamber pressure pickup, through an appropriately designed amplifier, to a control capacitance on the ...

Development of a Constant Volume Combustion Chamber for Material Synthesis

open access: yes, 2018
A constant volume combustion chamber (CVCC) was constructed to enable material synthesis procedures that are sensitive to temperature, pressure, and ambient species concentrations. Material synthesis processes require specific operating conditions in order to carry out the desired chemical reactions and property transformations, including the creation ...

Fuel injection temperature determination and effect on the injection process for different alternative fuels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The influence of the fuel temperature on injection using a pump-line-nozzle system of a medium speed diesel engine was studied for different fuels. The impact of the temperature was significant, suggesting that accurate knowledge of the injected fuel ...

Spontaneous Raman scattering for simultaneous measurements of in-cylinder species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A technique for multi-species mole fraction measurement in internal combustion engines is described. The technique is based on the spontaneous Raman scattering. It can simultaneously provide the mole fractions of several species of N-2, O-2, H2O, CO2 and
