Abstract: The paper is intended to draw attention to the most frequent reasons that lead to initiation of failures to components of flame tubes incorporated into combustion chambers and turbine units during the operation lifetime of aircraft turbine engines. These failures are illustrated by means of numerous examples that disclose gradual deterioration of components and subassemblies detected on their surfaces during endoscopic inspections carried out on various types of components and subassemblies of aircraft engines. The mentioned deterioration process affecting blade surfaces of turbine blade rims is analyzed on the basis of continuous monitoring that has been carried out to date. Attention is also paid to the way how aircraft engines have been so far and keep being evaluated whether or not they suit for further operation with consideration to specific features of service.

Abstract: Improving the efficiency or work and reducing the emissions of toxic substances into the atmosphere are the two key directions of development of modern combustion engines. Improvement of engine efficiency is feasible only by increasing the precision of control thereof, which necessitates long-term operating tests. Regrettably, due to complexity of processes taking place during the combustion of fuel, these phenomena can only be tested on simulation models, based on a mathematical description of the phenomena.This paper presents the results of verification tests of the developed fuel combustion model in a multifuel compression-ignition engine for an engine running only on diesel fuel.

Abstract: The primary function of an electronic control unit (ECU) of an engine is to calculate the amount of fuel to be delivered into the combustion chamber. The injection duration and duty cycle of the injector will be based on several sensors whose signals the ECU will process to ensure the best engine running condition. However, to study new injection and combustion strategies, where such operation is unavailable in standard ECU, a custom-built fuel injection control system need to be made. This paper describes the development of a fuel injector signal controller, which is being used for internal combustion engine experiment or for the evaluation of any fuel injector static flow rate. Herewith a new term Injector-Volume Ratio (IVR) was introduced to assist the development process. Using the custom-built fuel injection controller, the static flow rate of an injector for a single cylinder 125cc motorcycle engine was determined in accordance to SAEJ1832. From the experiment, the IVR value is proven useful in choosing the right size of a fuel injector to fit any specified engine displacement of a spark ignition engine.

Abstract: In order to achieve different response indifferent moment of fuel Injection Solenoid, a driving mode of Peak&Hold is generally applied to electronic control fuel injection system of the diesel engine. The theoretical analysis of high speed response and duplicate supply drive circuit based on the energy recovery is made, and a theoretical guidance for optimization design is presented. According to an electronic unit pump developed by ourselves, the optimization design of drive circuit for the fuel injection system is done. The results showed that during the process of injection, the time of current of solenoid valve form 0 to 20A is 224, and the turn-off time is 120which is a little longer than that of the high speed circuit based on the avalanche. And the turn-off time is met the requirement of control precision. With many advantages, such as energy saving and heat reducing, the high speed response and duplicate supply drive circuit based on the energy recovery will become a good choice in electronic control fuel injection system.

Abstract: A correlation between the spray tip penetration and dispersion area was investigated. Images of diesel fuel sprays from high-pressure common rail injectorwere analyzed using an edge-detecting technique. Diesel fuel sprays were injected into a pressurized spray chamber. The gas density in the spray chamber was 17.97kg/m³, which is representative of the density in a typical diesel engine when the fuel injection process starts. Consecutive images of the diesel spray were captured with a high-speed digital camera. The spray tip penetration and dispersion area according to the time when the fuel injectionprocess starts was determined. The spray dispersion area increased linearlywith the time after the fuel injection process starts.The slope of the linear correlation line between the spray dispersion area and time after start of fuel injection was steeper when the fuel injection pressure was higher. There was little effect on the slope of the linear correlation line with a change of the duration of the fuel injection time. Also, the spray dispersion area increased parabollically with the spraytip penetration.

Abstract: In research of diesel engine, fuel repeated injections are used often. In order to prolong heating in pressure process, heighten Pi and decrease Pmax ,Tmax. We make some expriments in diesel engine by means of one main injection + one later injection, the results show that indicated mean effective pressure is increased greatly, and NOX are decreased greatly ,in the case of no changing Pmax.

Abstract: Power reduction when converting a gasoline engine to propane can be mitigated by designing an injection system so the heat required for evaporation of the propane is drawn from the intake air. Air is cooled and densified, resulting in volumetric efficiency increase. LPG sprays were imaged using Mie and LIF imaging techniques from a port fuel injector, and from long and short connecting pipes. Images were taken in an optically-accessed pressure chamber at atmospheric pressure and fuel pressures of 1.5 MPa. Images of the pipe-coupled injection spray show significant evaporation in the pipe, whose amount depend on the length and diameter of the pipe. The duration of the LPG pulse at the manifold end is, for 300mm pipes, five times the original duration at the injector, and even greater for 600mm pipes. The narrow sprays and the amount of evaporation that occurs before the fuel enters the manifold explains the differences in engine torque and in-cylinder mixture temperature with the different systems.

Abstract: The method of supplying fuel for an electronic-controlled fuel injection system is calculating the required fuel amounts under various operating conditions of engine and controlling the opening and closing timing of fuel injection. After fuel injection, the effects of condensation and atomization of injected fuel as well as fuel mixing for combustion are strongly dominated by the opening timing and duration of intake valves. This can further affect the emission composition and performance for an engine. As the emission regulation is getting more stringent and the requirement for minimizing specific fuel consumption is becoming more urgent, investigating the effect of closing timing of fuel injection has turned out to be a major issue. Therefore, this paper presents a study about a series of engine tests to investigate the effect of end of injection angle on the performance and emission formation for a gasoline engine. In these tests, the values of end of injection angle are adjusted using a control software for electronic-controlled fuel injection system so that the results can be analyzed under various engine speeds and loads.

Abstract: This paper analyzes the relationship between fuel rail pressure and fuel injection amount and presents a diagnosis algorithm for coherence of injection in cylinders based on the fuel rail pressure. A simplified model of common-rail fuel system in multi-cylinder diesel engine was built and basic analysis was completed based on this model. The analysis induced that the rail pressure drop dp/dt is mainly relevant with Q_Inj. The experimental investigation of common-rail fuel system shows the pressure drop happens during the fuel injection period, which is induced by fuel injection. Both model analysis and experimental investigation show that the rail pressure may be used as the basis of diagnosis for coherence of fuel injection.
