A diesel engine requires close tolerances to achieve its compression ratio. The air entering the engine must be clean, free of debris and as cool as possible. Also to improve engine’s efficiency, the compressed air must be cooled after being compressed. Development of Variable Counter-current Distribution Control (VCDC) technology ensures proper air intake and exhaust system. In this regard, design of valve controller and most importantly valve mixer mechanism with fin arrangements has taken into consideration. The term counter-current indicates the valve controller attachments and valve mixer position layout. Valve controller controls the intake airflow at a significant level and the valve mixture distributes the air to a form of streamline through the fin arrangements. There is no possibility of vortex generation which is important for smooth and linear flow of air inside the engine cylinder. A swirl combustion inside the combustion chamber take place that results uniform combustion, increase the flame propagation speed, overcoming the differences of turbulent flow, reduce the flame to burn, improves the function of the flame diffusion and serves to reduce the airflow noise. Pressure distribution ensures greater combustion pressure that results higher compression ratio as the air is compressed first and then the fuel injected which allow the IC diesel engine to be efficient.

Fluid motion within the internal combustion engine cylinder plays a major role in controlling the fuel/air mixing and combustion processes in spark-ignition engines, and the combustion processes in compressionignition engines. In-cylinder flow is quite unstable and varies from one cycle to another. Various methods of in-cylinder flow measurement and fuel/air mixing characterization have been developed during the past few decades. In particular, laser based flow diagnostic techniques have been utilized for this purpose. This study will focus on the quantification of spark-ignition engine in-cylinder flow using the laser based flow diagnostic techniques. The measurement methods, including high speed flow visualization and laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV), will be discussed.

Design a nonlinear controller for second order nonlinear uncertain dynamical systems (e.g., Internal Combustion Engine) is one of the most important challenging works. This paper focuses on the design of a robust backstepping adaptive feedback linearization controller (FLC) for internal combustion (IC) engine in presence of uncertainties. In order to provide high performance nonlinear methodology, feedback linearization controller is selected. Pure feedback linearization controller can be used to control of partly unknown nonlinear dynamic parameters of IC engine. In order to solve the uncertain nonlinear dynamic parameters, implement easily and avoid mathematical model base controller, Mamdani’s performance/error-based fuzzy logic methodology with two inputs and one output and 49 rules is applied to pure feedback linearization controller. The results demonstrate that the error-based fuzzy feedback linearization controller is a model-free controllers which works well in certain and partly uncertain system. Pure feedback linearization controller and error-based feedback linearization like controller with have difficulty in handling unstructured model uncertainties. To solve this problem applied backstepping-based tuning method to error-based fuzzy feedback linearization controller for adjusting the feedback linearization controller gain ( ). This controller has acceptable performance in presence of uncertainty (e.g., overshoot=1%, rise time=0.48 second, steady state error = 1.3e-9 and RMS error=1.8e-11).

One of the most familiar challenge of air pollution over the cities is smog hanging. The effects of inhaling particulate matter have been studied in humans and animals and include asthma, lung cancer, cardiovascular issues, and premature death. There are, however, some additional products of the combustion process that include nitrogen oxides and sulfur and some un-combusted hydrocarbons, depending on the operating conditions and the fuel-air ratio. one of the important parameters to the control of lung cancer in big cities around the world is tuning the fuel to air ratio. To tuning the fuel to air ratio, functional based nonlinear controller is introduced. A mathematical function is used to improve the performance of the tuning the fuel to air ratio.

In this paper, the speed control problem of internal combustion engines is investigated based on mean-value engine models. The dynamics of internal combustion engines is a complicated nonlinear system, and usually, it is difficult to know the exact values of the physical parameters. First, a Lyapunov-based design method is shown without requiring the full information of the physical parameters. Then, to improve transient performance, the design method is extended to several cases under different operation conditions. Numerical simulation results are presented for comparing the proposed design methods. Finally, experiments are conducted on an engine test bench and the results demonstrate the validity of the proposed design methods.

Current state and perspective of DNS of turbulence and turbulent combustion are discussed with feature trend of the fastest supercomputer in the world. Based on the perspective of DNS of turbulent combustion, possibility of perfect simulations of IC engine is shown. In 2020, the perfect simulation will be realized with 30 billion grid points by 1EXAFlops supercomputer, which requires 4 months CPU time. The CPU time will be reduced to about 4 days if several developments were achieved in the current fundamental researches. To shorten CPU time required for DNS of turbulent combustion, two numerical methods are introduced to full-explicit full-compressible DNS code. One is compact finite difference filter to reduce spatial resolution requirements and numerical oscillations in small scales, and another is well-known point-implicit scheme to avoid quite small time integration of the order of nanosecond for fully explicit DNS. Availability and accuracy of these numerical methods have been confirmed carefully for auto-ignition, planar laminar flame and turbulent premixed flames. To realize DNS of IC engine with realistic kinetic mechanism, several DNS of elemental combustion process in IC engines has been conducted.

This paper presents the detection of internal combustion engine's multiple misfire. The primary cause of air pollution by vehicles is imperfect conbustion of fuel. The CARB(California Air Resources Board) have imposed regulations for the detection of misfiring in automotive engines. The OBD-II regulations requir that misfire should be monitored by the diagnostic system, and that the goal of OBD-II is to alert the driver to the presence of a malfunction of the emission control system. Present invention based upon measurements of engine roughness as derived from crankshaft angular velocity measurements with special signal processing method. Crankshaft angular velocity signals are processed by walsh-fourier transform. Experimental work confims that it's possible to apply walsh-fourier transform for the detection of multiple misfires in no-load idle and road testing.
