    Effects of injection strategy and combustion chamber modification on a single-cylinder diesel engine
    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020) GÜL, MEHMET ZAFER; Sener, Ramazan; Yangaz, Murat Umut; Gul, Mehmet Zafer
    The diesel engine is widely used due to its thermal efficiency, reliability and fuel economy, while diesel engine emissions are harmful to the environment and human health. Therefore, the standards (EPA, Tier, NRE-v/c standards, etc.) limit the exhaust emission of engines around the world. The most successful method of reducing emissions is to optimize the combustion chamber and the fluid motion inside the engine. In this study, experimental and numerical methods were used in a diesel engine to analyze fluid motion, spray, combustion process, and exhaust emissions. A new type of swirl piston bowls and a reentrant piston bowl were utilized on a baseline diesel engine. Different spray angles and injection pressures were applied and results were compared with the baseline design. Results show that the piston bowl shape has a critical influence on engine performance and emissions. Since the multi-swirl piston bowl (MSB) and double-swirl piston bowl (DSB) design increases in-cylinder swirl and turbulence, it contributes to reducing emissions and improving the combustion process. Increasing spray angle and injection pressure and using of DSB can reduce the soot emissions by 81%. DSB and MSB improve the combustion process but also increase NOx emissions due to increased in-cylinder temperature. On the other hand, NOx emissions may also be reduced if the injection parameters of the engine are optimized to provide the same power with the new swirl bowls.

    EFFECT OF THE GEOMETRICAL PARAMETERS IN A DOMESTIC BURNER WITH CRESCENT FLAME CHANNELS FOR AN OPTIMAL TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION AND THERMAL EFFICIENCY
    (YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIV, 2019-12-02) ÖZDEMİR, MEHMED RAFET; Sener, Ramazan; Ozdemir, Mehmed R.; Yangaz, Murat U.
    Domestic cookers are common tools of house appliances in the world and they have significant share in global energy consumption. Therefore, a small amount of improvement in efficiency would result in a huge drop in total energy and resource activity. This study aims at presenting numerically the thermal efficiency of a domestic burner with crescent-shaped flame channels by changing the distance from the cooker to the burner head and the diameter of the burner. The energy efficiency parameter was evaluated analyzing temperature distribution along the bottom surface of the cooker and unburnt HC, CO and NO emissions. Simulations have been carried out with methane as fuel for three different diameter and distance parameters. The results showed that the temperature on the surface and the emission values of unburnt CO, NO and HC decreased with increasing the cooker diameter and distance parameter.
