DETERMINATION OF EMISSIONS FROM PROTOTYPE ENGINE FOR GENERATION OF POWER FROM EXHAUST GAS OF GASOLINE GENERATOR

The capacity to produce power from the gases emitted from the exhaust of gasoline generator is a remarkable and admirable accomplishment. But using the prototype engine to provide this power leads to obstruction in the exhaust gas flow line, which tends to affect exhaust gas emissions. Regarding this, emissions from the prototype engine and the lone or sole generator in this research were assessed at various generator speeds and loads. The study found that the emissions of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon from the sole generator were 4.72 %, 4.36 %, and 76 ppm, respectively, while those from the prototype engine were 4.81 %, 4.41 %, and 88 ppm. This was at the minimum generator speed of 1000 rpm and load of 1200 W. The prototype engine's carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon emissions were 2.51 %, 4.97 %, and 34 ppm, respectively, while the sole generator's carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon emissions were 2.39 %, 4.89 %, and 32 ppm respectively, at the maximum generator speed of 5000 rpm and load of 2800 W. At minimum generator speed of 1000 rpm and load of 1200 W, the carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon emissions are, however, slightly higher in the prototype engine than the sole generator by 9%, 5 %, and 12 ppm respectively, and at maximum generator speed of 5000 rpm and load of 2800 W, the carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon emissions are, respectively, slightly higher...

On‐Line Monitoring Device for Gas Phase Composition Based on Machine Learning Models and Its Application in the Gas Phase Copolymerization of Olefins

AbstractThis study addresses the challenges of time‐delay and low accuracy in online gas‐phase composition monitoring during olefin copolymerization processes. Three flowmeters based on different mechanisms are installed in series to measure the real‐time exhaust gas flow rate from the reactor. For the same gas flow, the three flowmeters display different readings, which vary with the properties and composition of the gas mixture. Consequently, the composition of the mixed gas can be determined by analyzing the reading of the three flowmeters. Fitting equations and three machine learning models, namely decision trees, random forests, and extreme gradient boosting, are employed to calculate the gas composition. The results from cold‐model experimental data demonstrate that the XGBoost model outperforms others in terms of accuracy and generalization capabilities. For the concentration of ethylene, propylene, and hydrogen, the determination coefficients (R2) were 0.9852, 0.9882, and 0.9518, respectively, with corresponding normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) values of 0.0352, 0.0312, and 0.0706. The effectiveness of the online monitoring device is further validated through gas phase copolymerization experiments involving ethylene and propylene. The yield and composition of the ethylene and propylene copolymers are successfully predicted using the online measurement data.

Study on Rates of NH3 Adsorption and Desorption in SCR on Various Engine Operation Conditions

Aging diesel engines on the road require the development of an after-treatment system to meet current emission regulations, and a reduction in NOx (Nitrogen Oxide) is significant. The SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system is the after-treatment system for removing NOx from exhaust gas in diesel engines using NH3 (Ammonia) gas. However, the mixing and conversion process between NH3 and NOx in SCR has not been entirely clarified. That process produces NH3 slip in the catalyst surface; the NH3 slip will make the after-treatment performance worse. This study informs how the UWS (Urea Water Solution) injection controlling method can minimize the NH3 slip in the after-treatment system. For this, the NH3 adsorption and desorption rates are important factors for determining the quantity of UWS injection in the system. The NH3 adsorption rate and desorption rate in the SCR are not significantly affected by engine speed, i.e., the exhaust gas flow rate. However, as the exhaust gas temperature increased, the adsorption rate and desorption rate of NH3 in the SCR increased. Through this, the exhaust gas temperature dramatically affects the NH3 adsorption rate and desorption rate in the SCR. Therefore, if the urea water is injected based on this knowledge that the NH3 adsorption amount in the SCR decreases as the exhaust gas flow rate increases, NH3 slip can be suppressed and a high NOx reduction rate can be achieved. Therefore, if the SCR adsorption and desorption mechanisms are analyzed according to the exhaust temperature and the exhaust flow rate in this paper, it can be used as a reference for selecting an appropriate SCR when retrofitting an old diesel engine car.

Reducing the Energy Penalty of Retrofit Decarbonization in Combined Cycle Power Plants

Abstract This study is a continuation of previous work aimed at elucidating the effect of hydrogen-cofiring and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) on combined cycle (CC) performance. The thermodynamic analysis was expanded to include postcombustion capture (PCC) by means of mono-ethanolamine (MEA). Attention was paid to net power output and thermal efficiency. Part-load operation of the CC without carbon capture was taken as a reference. Decarbonization solutions, in ascending order of complexity, included the following: (1) adding a PCC unit; (2) combining EGR with PCC, so as to exploit the increase in the flue gas CO2 concentration while reducing the exhaust gas flow delivered to the absorber; (3) including hydrogen cofiring at the largest capability dictated by the gas turbine (GT) combustion system, with the opportunity to explore a wider range of EGR rates, while still relying on PCC of the residual CO2 in flue gas, before discharge into the environment. Scenarios were first discussed under the same GT load for consistency with the published literature, thus enabling the validation of the modeling procedure. Then, CC net power production was assumed as the basis of comparison. The third solution was found to be the most promising thus minimizing both the energy penalty due to carbon capture and CO2 emission intensity (EI).

STUDY OF THE PROGRAMMABLE ISOKINETIC SAMPLER EFFICIENCY FOR OF ECOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEMS OF HEAT ENGINES AND BOILER PLANTS

The work is devoted to the solution of the actual scientific and practical task of creating a universal sampling device for systems of environmental diagnostics of heat engines and boiler plants of various purposes. Ensuring the isokinetic mode of sampling from the exhaust pipe (EP) of the engine is a more difficult task than carrying out a similar sampling process in the chimney of the boiler plant, since the exhaust gases of the engines are characterized by fluctuations of static pressures in the HT with an amplitude of up to ±500 Pa, which must be taken into account in the operation of the sampling equipment. In the course of research, based on the analysis of global and domestic experience in the production and use of equipment for environmental certification of internal combustion engines and boiler houses, a programmable isokinetic sampler (ICT) was created, which allows you to take a proportional part of the gas sample from the full flow of exhaust gases in the EP of the power plant with accuracy ±3%. Motorless and motorized test stands have been developed for modeling and research of gas-dynamic processes in the exhaust systems of engines and boiler plants, which provide the possibility of varying the parameters of gas flows - mass flow rate, speed, temperature, static pressure, velocity pressure in the ranges: 15 - 55 g/s; 5...30 m/s, 20...180 °С, 0...2.5 kPa, 10 - 550 Pa, respectively. On the basis of the created test stands, empirical dependences were established to determine the static pressure differences between the ICP and EP pipelines, in which the isokinetic mode of sampling is ensured, from the dynamic pressure of the gas flow in the EP. With the help of these dependencies, SMART control of the programmable ICP is carried out. An experimental development of the programmable ICP was carried out as part of the MT-1 minitunnel during environmental tests of the 1СН12/14 diesel engine in separate modes and according to the ESC cycle established by the UNECE Regulations R-49. The research results confirmed the compliance of the created sampling device with regulatory requirements for its design and the accuracy of determining the sampling coefficient.

Influence of exhaust manifold modification on engine power

The article deals with the subject of the impact of an exhaust system on the power of the internal combustion engine. In particular the article shows the possibility of increasing a power of the gasoline drive unit, interfering only with an exhaust system. The purpose of the tests carried out is to compare the results of measurements from the chassis dynamometer before and after the modification, and additionally to perform simulations for the key parts of the system in terms of shaping the power and torque curves. The analysis includes a simulation model of the exhaust gas flow through the serial manifold and also the sport manifold, especially the pressure distribution and the course of the velocity vectors at the characteristic points of the element. Before obtaining the final results of power measurements on the sport units, the roughness of the steel from which the collectors were made was also measured. The final stage is the measurement of power on the new exhaust system. The obtained results of power measurements and simulations were presented in the form of a summary, which focused on the impact of individual fluid mechanics phenomena on the formation of power and torque curves and detailing the advantage of the new exhaust system in comparison with factory system in terms of increasing the performance of the tested vehicle.

A Design Approach of a Dedicated Exhaust-Gas Recirculation-System for a Naturally Aspirated Gas Engine—From One-Dimensional Engine Process Simulation and Design of Experiments Up to the Experimental Validation

Abstract This work presents a systematic approach proceeding from the engine process simulation (one-dimensional (1D)-computational fluid dynamics (CFD)) and design of experiments (DoE) up to the experimental validation to build a dedicated exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) system for a stationary four-cylinder naturally aspirated gas engine. This system should ensure an equal distribution of the recirculated exhaust gas, coming entirely from the rich-operated dedicated cylinder. The rich combustion enables an in-cylinder production of highly reactive species (mainly H2 and CO), resulting in increased EGR reactivity, which improves the dilution tolerance, leading to reduced wall heat losses and lower knock tendency in the EGR receiving cylinders. However, the EGR system design represents a challenge due to the pulsating exhaust gas flow from the dedicated cylinder, which leads to a considerable EGR maldistribution in the receiving cylinders. A numerical analysis of this effect demonstrated that the EGR distribution uniformity depends on the design and dimensions of the EGR path. Considering the numerous design parameters and taking into account that the optimum design of the EGR path is not necessarily the sum of optima from the one-factor-at-a-time variations, efficient DoE methodologies were applied. They enabled identifying the optimum set of the EGR path design-parameters, with an EGR rate maldistribution of about 1% points. To evaluate the quality of the numerical results, the dedicated EGR path with the optimum parameters set was built on the engine test bench. The experimental results confirm the simulative prediction accuracy, demonstrating the reliability of the pursued approach.

This article analyzes the effect of modifications of injector opening pressure on the operating values of a compression ignition engine, including the temperature of the fumes. A program of experimental investigation is described, considering the available test stand and measurement capabilities. The structure of the test stand on which the experimental measurements were conducted is presented. The method of introducing real modifications of injector opening pressure to the existing test engine was characterized. It was proposed to use F statistic of Fisher-Snedecor (F-S) distribution to evaluate the importance of the impact of modifications of injector opening pressure on the specific enthalpy of the flue gas flow. Qualitative and statistical studies of the results achieved from the measurements were carried out. The specific enthalpy of the fumes for a single cycle of the compression ignition engine, determined from the course of rapidly variable flue gas temperature, was analyzed. The results of these studies are presented and the usable adoption of this type of assessment in parametric diagnosing of compression ignition engines is discussed.

Entropy Generation Analysis on a Metal Foam in an Automotive Exhaust Line with Thermoelectric Generator

Abstract In the present paper, an entropy generation analysis on a 2-D steady state problem in convective regime of an aluminum foam partially and totally filled channel with an external TEG element is solved in numerical way. The numerical analyses are accomplished with the assumption of the local thermal equilibrium (LTE) hypothesis in order to model the metal foam and heat transfer inside the channel. The working fluid is exhaust gas characterized by the same properties of the air in correspondence to the TEG upper surface temperature. The TEG is considered as a solid component characterized by an internal energy generation. The thermophysical properties are assumed temperature independent. Ansys-Fluent code is employed in order to resolve the governing equations for exhaust gas, metal foam and TEG. Different exhaust gas mass flow rates on the inlet section are assumed. Several thicknesses of aluminum foam values are employed. The porous media are characterized by a porosity from 0.90 to 0.978 and number of pores per inch (PPI) equal to 5, 10, 20, 40. Results are given in terms of global entropy generations related to the thermal and viscous effects. The total global entropy generation increases with increasing of exhaust gas flow rate for all pore density and porosity values. Bejan number decreases with the increment of mass flow rate and thickness. It increases when the porosity value increases whereas at high mass flow rate and for assigned porosity the values present small difference for different pore density values.

Thermal modeling and parametric study of TEG power generation from the exhaust gas of boilers and cold oil tank

A new concept of power generation from thermoelectric generators TEGs using the hot exhaust gas of boilers and a cold oil tank is proposed. The suggested concept consists of a flow of exhaust gas of boilers and cold oil in a tank separated by a plate comprising several TEGs in series. The oil tank at the bottom of the system constitutes the cold convection condition for the TEG plate and the upper hot exhaust gas flow constitutes the hot convection condition. Accordingly, a temperature gradient is created across the thickness of the TEGs, which play the role of a separation plate, and converted to an electrical power. To justify the feasibility of this new concept, a suitable thermal modeling is developed and the associated parametric analysis is carried out. The parametric analysis reveals that powers up to 622 W can be generated with a system having a space heating load of 200 kW, an exhaust gas duct height of 0.05 m, and a TEG plate length of 1 m. The temperature difference across each TEG module decreases exponentially when the TEGs plate length increases and decreases exponentially when the exhaust gas duct height increases.

This paper is a thematic review of the technology of the turbocharger with emphasis on its workings, influencing factors, applications, problems, solutions and related or derived technologies for purposes outside the motoring industry. This paper reveals that the turbocharger resembles a modeled heat machine with thermodynamic processes for boosting engine power output with exhaust gas flow.

A novel layout to charge a single cylinder diesel engine using supercharging and impulse turbo-compounding

The benefits of turbocharged internal combustion engines are well established in the literature and mass production. Despite the numerous advantages of turbocharging, commercial single-cylinder engines are generally not turbocharged. This is due to intermittent exhaust gas flow to the turbine, typical for a single-cylinder engine. The current work proposes a novel layout wherein a supercharger boosts the engine to reap the benefits of charging the single-cylinder engine. An impulse turbine salvages part of the exhaust energy from the pulsated flow. A one-dimensional simulation study of the novel supercharged and turbo-compounded single-cylinder engine was carried out, and critical parameters of an impulse turbine were designed. CFD simulation study was carried out to validate the performance of the impulse turbine and the novel layout. This study modified a light-duty naturally aspirated (NA) diesel engine currently in mass production into the supercharged version. A positive displacement supercharger was mechanically coupled to the base NA engine with a suitable belt drive, and steady-state experiments were performed with NA and supercharged versions. One-dimensional AVL boost simulation models were validated for the NA and supercharged engines for brake power, air flow rate and BSFC within a 3% deviation. Nozzles of varying exit diameters were employed at the exhaust pipe. One-dimensional simulations were conducted to predict the supercharged engine performance and the kinetic energy rate available at the exhaust nozzle exit. An optimal nozzle exit diameter was chosen. Base calculations for the impulse turbine were performed with the output from the 1D simulation tool to design the critical features of the blade and the power turbine. The designed impulse turbine was further simulated using a commercially available CFD simulation tool, CONVERGE. CFD results showed that the impulse turbine generated about 1.55 kW of power, equivalent to 39% turbine efficiency. Experimental analysis was conducted on the supercharged engine with the optimal nozzle and the simulated impulse turbine. Results showed significantly improved engine performance with the supercharged and impulse turbine compounded version compared to the base NA version. The brake power output and brake thermal efficiency increased by 34% and 3.8%, respectively. Soot and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions were 80% lower, while unburned hydrocarbon (HC) emissions were 45% lower. However, NOx emissions were 60% higher, which can be curtailed by established NOx reduction strategies. Thus, the proposed method of employing a supercharger and compounding an impulse turbine for a single-cylinder diesel engine proved beneficial with improved performance, reduced brake specific fuel consumption and reduced emissions except for NOx.

Development of Data-Driven Models for the Prediction of Fuel Effects on Diesel Engine Performance and Emissions

<div>A modelling tool has been developed for the prediction of fuel effects on the performance and exhaust emissions of a heavy-duty diesel engine. Recurrent neural network models with duty-cycle, engine control, and fuel property parameters as inputs were trained with transient test data from a 15-liter heavy-duty diesel engine equipped with a common-rail fuel injection system and a variable geometry turbocharger.</div> <div>The test fuels were formulated by blending market diesel fuels, refinery components, and biodiesel to provide variations in preselected fuel properties, namely, hydrogen-to-carbon (H/C) ratio, oxygen-to-carbon (O/C) ratio, derived cetane number (CN), viscosity, and mid- and end-point distillation parameters. Care was taken to ensure that the correlation between these fuel properties in the test fuel matrix was minimized to avoid confounding model input variables.</div> <div>The test engine was exercised over a wide variety of transient test cycles during which fuel rail pressure, injection timing, airflow, and recirculated exhaust gas flow were systematically varied. The resulting models could predict the transient engine torque and fuel consumption, and nitrogen oxide (NOx), soot, carbon monoxide (CO), total hydrocarbon (THC), and carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) exhaust emissions with good accuracy, indicating that the limited number of fuel property parameters selected as model inputs was sufficient to capture the fuel-related effects.</div> <div>The modelling tool can also be used to estimate the relative contributions from changes in the individual fuel inputs to changes in exhaust emissions, and this is illustrated by means of an example blending study with crude-derived diesel fuel, biodiesel, and paraffinic gas-to-liquid (GTL) diesel fuel. This type of novel numerical analysis provides insights into fuel effects which are very difficult to achieve experimentally due to the high degree of intercorrelation between fuel properties that is usually present.</div>

Exhaust Valve Leakage Analysis on Main Engine at KM. Tonasa Lines XV

The exhaust valve is one of the components on the main engine that functions to close and open the flow of exhaust gas from the combustion chamber or liner, both in four-stroke and two-stroke diesel engines. The research was carried out for ±10 months on the Tonasa Line XV ship. The purpose of this study was to determine the cause of the exhaust valve leak. Primary data were obtained directly through interviews with related parties. Secondary data is obtained from data collection institutions and published to the data user community, in this study in the form of journals in e-journals. The results obtained from research identification show that first: the occurrence of spindle and seat valve wear due to a lack of maintenance systems, second: excess working hours of exhaust valves, third: clogged cooling water system. The identification of the research found that the cause of the exhaust valve leak was due to worn spindle and seat valves, excess working hours and blockage of the cooling water path. The ways that can be done to avoid damage are by grinding the spindle and seat valve, maintenance according to working hours, and cleaning the cooling water.

Implementation of Smart Materials for Actuation of Traditional Valve Technology for Hybrid Energy Systems

The ever-changing nature of the power industry will require the implementation of hybrid energy systems. Integration of tightly coupled components in hybrids often involves the diversion of exhaust gas flow. An innovative smart material actuation technology is proposed to replace traditional electro-mechanical actuated valve mechanisms with lighter and less expensive actuators. A shape memory alloy (SMA) spring-actuated valve was designed for high-temperature service to demonstrate the promise of smart materials in control valve applications. With SMA springs only generating a maximum force of 3.2 N, an innovative valve design was necessary. To demonstrate the concept, a 3-inch Nominal Pipe Size valve was designed, and 3D printed using the stereolithography technique. Increasing the electrical current to actuate the SMA springs reduced actuation time. The maximum current of 10 A produced the lowest actuation time of 2.85 s, with an observed maximum stroke rate of more than 100 stroke completion %/s (considering actuation open/close as 100% stroke) at the midrange. The final assembly of the valve was estimated to provide a cost reduction of more than 30% and a weight reduction of more than 80% compared to the other available automatic valves in the present market.

Estimation of Entropy Generation in a SCR-DeNOx System with AdBlue Spray Dynamic Using Large Eddy Simulation

In this work, the entropy generation analysis is extended to the multi-phase fluid flow within a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) framework. The selected study case consists of a generic selective catalytic reduction (SCR) configuration in which the water/AdBlue is injected into a cross-flow of the internal combustion (IC) engine exhaust gas. The adopted numerical modules are first assessed by comparing with experimental data for film thickness in the case of AdBlue injection and then with H2O mass fraction and temperature for water injection case. Subsequently, the impact of heat transfer, fluid flow, phase change, mixing and chemical reaction due to AdBlue injection on the entropy generation is assessed. Hence, the individual contributions of viscous and heat dissipation together with the species mixing, chemical reaction during the thermal decomposition of urea into NH3 and dispersed phase are especially evaluated and analysed. In comparison to the shares of the viscous and mixing processes, the entropy generation is predominated by the heat, chemical and dispersed phase contributions. The influence of the operating parameters such as exhaust gas temperature, flow rate and AdBlue injection on entropy generation is discussed in details. Using a suitable measures, the irreversibility map and some necessary inferences are also provided.

This article presents the preliminary results on the drying process in a fountain dryer designed and adapted to drying waist sawdust and/or chips of various morphology and moisture content. In terms of drying technology, it is important to reduce the demand for heat and electricity. The phenomena occurring during the drying of sawdust in a fountain dryer were analyzed. Modifications of a typical fountain dryer were proposed in order to dry the chips, to obtain appropriate moisture and quality suitable for the process of their further granulation for the production of pellets. The test stand and the most important properties of the fountain dryer were described and discussed.

Drying times of wet sawdust is relatively short and takes ~50 s for (weight of wet sawdust 4.75 kg, with moisture of 35%) the relatively low air temperature of 175 °C.

In a biogas power plant from waste heat power generation system using Organic Rankine Cycle and multi-criteria optimization

Increasing energy consumption, rapid population growth, and technological developments have increased the need for energy demand day by day. At the point of meeting this need, renewable energy is an important alternative resource that can replace rapidly exhaustible fossil fuels. There are many renewable energy sources such as sun, wind, hydrogen, geothermal, and biogas. Biogas, one of the most important renewable energy sources, is mainly used as fuel in combined heat-power (CHP) engines/gas engines and transformed into electrical energy. However, the efficiency of these engines is low owing to the fact that a considerable amount of the energy that enters with the combustion of biogas is thrown into the atmosphere as exhaust gas. In this context, the recovery of the waste heat of 26 gas engines with a temperature of 475–500 °C in the Silivri region of Istanbul and producing biogas from household wastes was studied. Calculate the waste heat values according to the exhaust gas flow, temperature, and pressure values to be taken from the chimney outlet of the gas engines in the facility. Subsequently, the determination of the parameters of the ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) and the optimum consumption values of the equipment in the whole system in the loop as well as the optimum ORC mechanical power will help manage and optimize the electricity production.
