Lean premixed compression ignition combustion provides the potential for simultaneous reduction of NO x and PM, while imposing moderate penalties on CO and HC emissions. To overcome these drawbacks in existing premixed combustion modes of diesel engines, an ultramultihole (UMH) nozzle was developed in this study. The UMH nozzle has two layers of injection holes and a large flow area. Two sprays of the upper and lower layers meet in the space of the combustion chamber. A high-pressure common-rail fuel injection system was used in this experiment. The fuel injection rate of the UMH nozzle was measured using the constant volume method, and its spray pattern was recorded using high-speed digital photography. Combustion and performance experiments with the UMH nozzle were conducted on a turbocharged intercooled diesel engine. The results showed that the UMH nozzle exhibited a higher injection rate, shorter injection duration, shorter spray penetration, and bigger spray angle than those of the conventional nozzle. These characteristics facilitate better mixing of fuel and air prior to ignition, and thus NO x and PM emissions were simultaneously reduced with low CO and HC emissions by combining the UMH nozzle with EGR (exhaust gas recirculation).
A miniature air-born real-time imaging system has been developed. Based on TS201 chip, the imaging system achieved powerful compute performance; balanced I/O bandwidth and high stability. Optimized signal-processing library has been developed. Written specifically to take advantage of the TigerSHARC superscalar architecture's ability, the library deliver optimal speed, performance, and flexibility. To support multi tasks, the data-driven technology has been applied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
