Experimental and numerical investigation of a direct injection spark ignition hydrogen engine for heavy-duty applications

The H₂ internal combustion engine is gaining increasing interest especially for commercial vehicles. Regarding the optimization of the combustion process, results of experimental investigations on a H₂ heavy-duty single-cylinder engine in combination with numerical 3D-CFD investigations are presented. In addition to a Direct Injection (DI) Spark Ignited (SI) configuration, Port Fuel Injection (PFI) is explored to provide a reference with near homogeneous cylinder charge. The main objective is to assess a 3D-CFD-RANS framework based on ECFM and state-of-the art sub-models to describe the most important phenomena occurring in H₂ spark ignition engines and to support the experimental analysis. Experimental results show that the PFI configuration provides efficiency and emissions benefits at the expense of volumetric efficiency. The proposed CFD model demonstrates the ability to successfully simulate different engine operating conditions for both PFI and DI systems. In particular, it is shown that the charge stratification typical for DI systems is not beneficial for the studied configuration as it increases wall heat losses and NOx formation.     

Influences of hydrogen and various gas fuel addition to different liquid fuels on the performance characteristics of a spark ignition engine

This study reports the impacts of dual fuel mixtures on the theoretical performance characteristics of a spark ignition engine (SIE). The effects of addition of liquefied hydrogen, methane, butane, propane (additive fuels) into gasoline, iso-octane, benzene, toluene, hexane, ethanol and methanol fuels (primary fuels) on the variation of power, indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP), thermal efficiency, exergy efficiency, were examined by using a combustion model. The fuel additives were ranged from 10 to 50% by mass. The results exhibited that the ratios of hydrogen, methane, butane, propane noticeably affect the performance of the engine. The maximum increase ratio of power is 82.59% with 50% of toluene ratio and its maximum decrease ratio is 10.84% with 50% of methanol ratio in hydrogen mixtures. The maximum increase ratio of thermal efficiency and exergy efficiency are observed as 26.75% and 32.23% with the combustion of benzene-hydrogen mixtures. The maximum decrease ratio of thermal efficiency is 29.71% with the combustion of 50% of methanol ratio and it is 21.95% for the exergy efficieny with the combustion of 50% of ethanol ratio in hydrogen mixtures. The power, IMEP, thermal efficiency and exergy efficiency of primary fuels demonstrate different variation characteristics with respect to type and ratio of additive fuels.

A data propagation model for wireless gossiping

Wireless sensor networks require communication protocols for efficiently propagating data in a distributed fashion. The Trickle algorithm is a popular protocol serving as the basis for many of the current standard communication protocols. In this paper we develop a mathematical model describing how Trickle propagates new data across a network consisting of nodes placed on a line. The model is analyzed and asymptotic results on the hop count and end-to-end delay distributions in terms of the Trickle parameters and network density are given. Additionally, we show that by only a small extension of the Trickle algorithm the expected end-to-end delay can be greatly decreased. Lastly, we demonstrate how one can derive the exact hop count and end-to-end delay distributions for small network sizes.     

A light-weight trust-based QoS routing algorithm for ad hoc networks

In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), the lack of a trusted infrastructure makes secure and reliable packet forwarding very challenging, especially for providing QoS guarantee for multimedia applications. In this paper, we firstly introduce the concept of trust and QoS metric estimation into establishing a trust-based QoS model. In this model, we estimate the trust degree between nodes from direct trust computation of direct observation and indirect trust computation by neighbors’ recommendations. On the other hand, due to the NP-completeness of the multi-QoS constraints problem, we only take into account link delay as the QoS constraint requirement. Then, we design a trust-based QoS routing algorithm (called TQR) from the trade-off between trust degree and link delay. At last, by using NS2 we implement this algorithm based on AODV (Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector). We compare its performance with AODV, Watchdog-DSR and QAODV. The simulation results show that TQR scheme can prevent attacks from malicious nodes and improve the security performance of the whole network, especially in terms of packet delivery ratio, average end-to-end delay, routing packet overhead and detection ratio of malicious nodes.

Investigating the unexposed surface temperature criteria of standard ASTM E119

Information and data were obtained to evaluate the unexposed surface temperature criteria of standard ASTM E119. The investigation consisted of: (1) reviewing literature to obtain information on the development of ASTM E119 and the unexposed surface temperature rise criteria, (2) conducting fire tests to obtain temperature data on slabs with various materials placed on the unexposed surface and (3) conducting ignition tests on these materials to obtain their approximate temperature at ignition. The information and data increased the knowledge concerning the relationship between the unexposed surface temperature rise criteria of ASTM E119 and the ignition temperature of common combustible materials.Winner of the 1985 Harry C.
