  1. 1. Development of Elastic Mechanism for actuation of Valve

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion

    Author : Nidhi Menon; [2023]
    Keywords : Compliant mechanism; Engine; HGR valve; Heat gas recirculation; Eftergivlig mekanism; HGR-ventil; läckage; varmgasåtercirkulationsventilen;

    Abstract : The HGR valve, or hot gas recirculation valve, is an essential component of modern internal combustion engines. Its main function is to reduce emissions of nitrous oxide (NOx), which is a harmful pollutant produced during combustion. READ MORE

  3. 2. Optimal Knock Sensor Spatial Locations of In-line Combustion Engines : A Case Study of Scania Engines

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Hassan Hussein; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In recent years, there has been a growing interest in utilizing knock sensors as a diagnostic tool for providing valuable insights into the combustion process. These sensors have demonstrated their potential to offer information regarding crucial parameters such as the start of combustion, heat release rate, misfire events, and valve events. READ MORE

  4. 3. Development of an Accelerated Test Method for Compressed Natural Gas Fuel System Robustness against Contamination

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Elias Aretorn; [2023]
    Keywords : CNG; Natural Gas; Heavy-Duty Vehicles; Fuel System; Contamination; Cleanliness; Accelerated Testing; Experimental Setup; Pressure Regulator;

    Abstract : A key factor for driving the shift towards sustainable transportation systems is alternative fuels, where compressed natural gas (CNG) is a beneficial alternative to the conventional fossil fuels with respect to greenhouse gas emissions. A fuel system is needed for heavy-duty natural gas vehicles, in order to transport the highly pressurized gas from the fuel tanks to the internal combustion engine. READ MORE

  5. 4. 1D Simulation of Hydraulic Cam Phaser System Utilized in Heavy Duty Vehicles : An Investigation on Attenuation of Phase Oscillations from Cam Torque Disturbances

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Johan Germundsson; [2023]
    Keywords : master thesis; cam phaser; simulation; 1D-simulation; GT-SUITE; GT-ISE; Gamma Technologies; oil aeration; oscillations; heavy-duty; engine; phaser; cam torque; stability; cam phaser system; Scania; Scalia CV;

    Abstract : Cam phasers allow improvements to the efficiency and emissions of internal combustion engines. The usage of hydraulic vane type cam phasers for heavy-duty applications have shown problems with oscillations during testing at Scania CV. To investigate the root cause of the oscillations a detailed 1-d simulation model has been created. READ MORE

  6. 5. Optimisation of a LOX/Ethanol rocket engine ignition

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Pierre Collard; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : For more than half a century, humanity has achieved the feat of extracting itself from the earth's atmosphere and sailing into space, broadening the spectrum of knowledge and curiosity. Although space market seemed mastered and stable the arrival of new private players has reorganized the sector through new technological choices. READ MORE
