In-situ Unburned Gas Temperature Measurement in a Spark Ignition Engine Using Laser Interferometry

SAE Technical Paper Series, 2005
<div class="htmlview paragraph">A heterodyne interferometry system with a fiber-optic sensor was developed to measure the temperature history of unburned gas in a spark-ignition engine. A polarization-preserving fiber and metal mirror were used as the fiber-optic sensor to deliver the test beam to and from the measurement region. This fiber-optic

Unburned gas temperature measurement in a spark-ignition engine using fibre-optic heterodyne interferometry

Measurement Science and Technology, 2001
A fibre-optic heterodyne interferometry system was developed to obtain the temperature histories of an unburned mixture with high temporal resolution non-intrusively. In laser interferometry, the effective optical path length of the test beam changes with the gas density and corresponding changes of the refractive index.

Unburned gas temperature measurements in a surrogate Diesel jet via two-color toluene-LIF imaging

Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, 2011
Abstract Non-intrusive temperature measurements of the unburned fuel/air mixture in vaporized Diesel jets have been performed using two-color toluene laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). This diagnostics technique exploits the temperature-dependent spectral shift of the LIF signal which occurs after ultraviolet (UV) excitation of toluene that is added ...

2-D Temperature Measurements of Unburned Gas Mixture in an Engine by Two-line Excitation LIF Technique

SAE Technical Paper Series, 2006
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Two-line excitation LIF (Laser-Induced Fluorescence) technique for 2-dimensional temperature measurements in an engine cylinder before ignition is presented. From the fundamental examinations, the combination of toluene tracer with a pair of excitation lines of 248nm and 266nm has been selected because of the high ...

Measurement of the temperature history of unburned gas before knocking in a spark-ignition engine using laser interferometry

Measurement Science and Technology, 2000
It is very important to know the temperature history in a spark-ignition engine when the phenomenon of knocking is being studied. However, measurement of the gas temperature is not easy and some work has been done using laser diagnostics etc. In this study, the temperature history until the time of occurrence of knocking in a spark-ignition engine was ...

Transient Temperature Measurement of Unburned Gas in an Engine Cylinder Using Laser Interferometry with a Fiber-Optic Sensor

SAE Technical Paper Series, 2003
<div class="htmlview paragraph">A heterodyne interferometry system with a fiber-optic sensor was developed to measure the temperature history of unburned gas in an engine cylinder. A polarization-preserving fiber and metal mirror were used as the fiber-optic sensor to deliver the test beam to and from the measurement region.

Intrinsic Instability of Three-Dimensional Premixed Flames Under Low- and High-Temperature Conditions: Effects of Unburned-Gas Temperature on Hydrodynamic and Diffusive-Thermal Instabilities

Combustion Science and Technology, 2015
The intrinsic instability of three-dimensional (3D) premixed flames under low- and high-temperature conditions was numerically treated to study the effects of unburned-gas temperature on hydrodynamic and diffusive-thermal instabilities. Superimposing a sinusoidal disturbance with sufficiently small amplitude on a planar flame, we obtained the relation ...

The effects of spark timing, unburned gas temperature, and negative valve overlap on the rates of stoichiometric spark assisted compression ignition combustion

Applied Energy, 2013
Abstract Spark assisted compression ignition (SACI) combustion is a potential means of extending the high load limit of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) while maintaining high thermal efficiency. In these experiments, an HCCI engine equipped with fully-flexible valve actuation was used to explore the effect of spark assist in ...

Predictions of the Knock Onset and the Effects of Heat Release Pattern and Unburned Gas Temperature on Torque at Knock Limit in S.I. Engines

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1995
<div class="htmlview paragraph">A reduced chemical kinetic model has been developed using temperature history measured by Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS) and sensitivity analysis. Predictions of knock occurrence by this model show that the chemical role of residual gas and the intake flow have little effect on the knock occurrence ...
