ME 480 - Internal Combustion Engines
Octane Number: 0 – 100 Scale0 = pure n-heptane100 = pure iso-octane
Cetane Number: 0 – 100 Scale0 = pure α-methylnaphthalene C10H7CH3
100 = pure n-cetane C16H34
Which fuel produces more CO2?
Volatility: Changes with the seasons
Catalytic Convertor
If fuel/air mixture is rich4HC + 10NO → 4CO2+ 2H2O + 5N2
2CO + 2NO → 2CO2 + N2
If fuel/air mixture is lean4HC + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O2CO + O2 → 2CO2

Chapter 4: Spark Ignition Engines
Definitions
Indicated Mean Effective Pressure (IMEP) = indicated work per cycle engine displacement
Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP) = brake work per cycle engine displacement
Mechanical Efficiency = BMEP/IMEP
Volumetric Efficiency = volume of air inhaled engine displacement
Note: MBT is Minimum advance for Best Torque
Chap 5: Compression Ignition
Chap 6: Induction and Exhaust ProcessesThis is best addressed with CFD
Chap 7: Two-stroke EnginesLess efficient but high power density
Chap 8: In Cylinder MotionVarious methods of anemometry
Chap 9: Turbocharging
We can have “suck through” or “blow through” fuel injection
Suck Through:Same pressure, same fuel pumpOnly adjust fuel injection to match increased air flowGood Mixture
Blow Through:Compressor is at same pressure so it won’t suck oilShorter intake path for faster response timeAvoid centrifugal segregation of fuel
Now back to number crunching!
