Increasing the Power and Efficiency of Engines

To enhance the efficiency of Mechanical and Thermal is the major driver for the Engines team, owning to the requirement for continually reducing the CO2 output of the vehicles. Downsizing is the main focus, while friction reduction, pumping losses reduction and combustion efficiency are largely emphasized with the help of engine de-throttling. To support the supplied vehicle attributes, the Engines department should start to enact a target catalogue for the engine. The target catalogue should…

Increased Efficiency Gas Turbine Engines Outline Abstract As 5th generations Turbine Engines are being retired, the sixth generation ones have the challenge to increase both speed and performance. Engines as a system needs to increase the thrust to weight ratio, decrease fuel consumption and reduce the super alloys that needed for the build. Successful development of an increase efficiency gas turbine engine will happen by using carbon fiber and epoxy resin composites instead of metal, improving…

I. Summary After World War II, aircraft structures had to be redesigned to enable the use of turbojet power instead of piston engine power. After its first flight on February 15th, 1946, the DC-6 piston powered aircraft quickly became the workhorse for passenger aircraft. With a wingspan of one-hundred and seventeen feet, six inches, and a total length of one-hundred feet, seven inches, this airframe was able to hold roughly one-hundred and five individuals. For nearly ten years, the DC-6 was incomparable…

often hear from customers who send their trucks for repair is, “This is a diesel engine; the problem should be easy to diagnose.” The right part about that statement is that the customer ¬realizes that he has a diesel engine. Simple operation, high reliability, high thermal efficiency and low fuel consumption are few key reasons for success of Diesel engines and its varied application from land based automotive and power generation to marine propulsion applications in deep sea. Engine’s continuous availability…

internal combustion engine, scientists and engineers have worked to increase its efficiency. As it stands now, the average internal combustion automobile engine only converts roughly 20% of its energy into useful motivational power. Most of the rest is expended through heat loss in various locations. The cooling system in an automobile is used to remove heat from all the moving parts so that they can still function properly without melting, seizing, or overheating. If an engine was ideal, it…

HIGH-PRESSURE TURBOCHARGING: INCREASING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE EFFICIENCY AND POWER WHILE REDUCING EMISSIONS Gheorghiu, Victor* Hamburg University of Applied Sciences Berliner Tor 21, 20099 Hamburg, Germany Keywords: Atkinson Cycle, Ultra-Downsizing, High Pressure Turbocharging, CO2 and NOx Reduction. ABSTRACT The Downsizing of internal combustion engines (ICE) is already recognized as a very suitable method for the concurrent enhancement of the indicated fuel conversion efficiency (IFCE) and lowering…

EFFICIENCY INCREASING SYSTEM BY USING PREHEATING METHOD METHODOLOGY The concept of increasing the fuel efficiency of a petrol engine in this project, is to pre-heat the intake air which is flowing through the carburetor. The humidity in the atmospheric air affects the petrol vapourisation in the carburettor. Therefore, by pre-heating the inlet air to the carburettor for a considerable amount, the vapourisation can be ease and in turn complete combustion is achieved. Moreover by reducing the…

small Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) engine practice, including the collection of the test data and achieving an engine performance simulation and diagnostic analysis. To carry out the analysis, it is necessary to develop the engine model and taking into account the measurements from the test in order to derive a coherent model. 1.2 Engine description An APU is a small gas turbine engine that provides secondary power to the airplane. This power is used to start the main propulsion engines and provide pressurized…

Political Power in Energy Efficiency Energy, which has a bearing on both economic and national security, boasts its vital importance in that it gives rise to the economic and social development of the whole world. Although the world teems with diverse energy, most of the energy that has been put into application in our daily life or industrialized world is nonrenewable, with particular reference to the fossil fuels, which means once it has been run out, it can never be reproduced. Moreover, conditions…

interpret them, turning them into knowledge, is critical for any business to grow and prosper in the 21rst century. The intent of this proposal is to provide Party Plates with the necessary information systems guidance to attain higher levels of efficiency and performance through collaboration and communication. Making full use of all data, from personal productivity-based data files to the more comprehensive database files, and unifying them into a comprehensive data structure, is critical for attaining…
