National Symposium on Rotor Dynamics - IIT Madras

December 19,20,21

Most machines have one or more rotating parts. Rotating machine elements thus form the backbone of industrial infrastructure and therefore play a pivotal role in the growth and development of the country. Rotor Dynamics is the key in design and maintenance of all such rotating machinery. This area has made tremendous strides in recent years.

Abstract:

The advantages of homogeneous combustion in internal combustion (I.C.) engines are well known and many research groups all over the world are working on its practical realization. A new combustion concept that fulfils all requirements to perform homogeneous combustion in I.C. engines using the Porous Medium Combustion Engine, called “PM-engine” has been proposed. This is an I.C. engine with the following processes realized in a porous medium: internal heat recuperation, fuel injection and vaporization, mixing with air, homogenization, 3D thermal self-ignition followed by a homogeneous combustion. The main features of the PM-engine are the following:
i) Very low emissions level due to homogeneous combustion and controlled temperature in the PM-combustion zone (e.g. NOx between 100 and 300 mg/kWh for the (A/F) ratio from 1 to 5); CO can be reduced by several times (almost eliminated soot formation). ii) Theoretically higher cycle efficiency due to similarity to the Carnot cycle. iii) Very low combustion noise due to significantly reduced pressure peaks. iv) Nearly constant and homogeneous combustion temperature field in the PM volume. v) Very fast combustion.

CRYOGENIG LIQUID NITROGEN

Abstract:

Now the world is filled with automobiles of various types from a small two-wheeler to huge trucks, but the soul of those engines are the fuels what we are using. From the olden days onwards we use only the fossil fuels, we are using still now but the major disadvantage of those fuels are the pollution caused by them and their availability. Now our world is under the pressure of pollution, though there may be many reasons for pollutions, the major amount was contributed by automobiles and this fossil fuel are non-renewable resource and we know that this would available only for 30-40 years. So our scientists are searching for renewable resource as fuel for engines and moreover pollution free.

This paper deals about using liquid nitrogen as a fuel for the future world. Yes of course using of nitrogen which is very abundant (78%) in our atmosphere. The technique of liquefying the nitrogen gas by the process of “CRYOGENISIS” and using it as a fuel. The major advantage of using this fuel is pollution free (ZERO EMISSION VEHICHLE). Since the exhaust of this engine is again a nitrogen gas. So within few years we can see the automobiles that are propelled by liquid nitrogen and we can make a pollution free world.

Abstract:

Hydrogen is seen as a viable fuel alternate and its development work is carried-out under two sects, viz., fuel cells and Hydrogen IC Engines. While the researches on Fuel cell technology have borne fruit through co-ordination and integration, Hydrogen IC Engine researches are isolated to discrete domains.
This paper is an analysis paper focusing on evaluation of Hydrogen as a fuel for IC Engine. Besides introducing Hydrogen as IC Engine fuel, the technical feasibilities of various technologies under research have been analyzed and a theoretical IC Engine working on Hydrogen has been evolved. The right combination of features of the engine has been selected through the available literature on this subject and expert opinions. The various areas analyzed include properties of Hydrogen, combustion properties of hydrogen, design and Modeling aspects of Hydrogen IC Engines. Further a discussion on various applications of this technology has been done. This work of analysis leaves openings for continuation as in the form of simulations and practical analyses.

Abstract:

In developing countries like India use of petrol fuels like furnace oil or light diesel oil to meet the thermal energy demands of industries places a heavy burden on the economy. Use of producer gas from indigenously available agricultural residues is an attractive alternative. This paper reports the commercial scale (1080 MJ h-1) development of a low-density biomass gasification system for thermal applications. The gasifier can handle fuels like sugarcane leaves and bagasse, bajra stalks, sweet sorghum stalks and bagasse etc. The system was tested for more than 700 hours under laboratory conditions at 288-2080 MJ h-1 output levels. The HHV of the gas was 3.56-4.82 MJ Nm-3. The system also produces char. Which is about 24% by which of the original fuel? It can be briquetted to for, an excellent fuel for wood stoves or can be used as a soil conditioner. After successful laboratory testing, the system was also tested in a metallurgical company. Where it was retrofitted to a specialty ceramics baking LDO –fired furnace. The furnace was operated exclusively on the gasification system and the product quality was on par with, if not better than, that obtained during LDO-fired operation. The economics of the system is also presented in this paper.

SPLIT CYCLE IC ENGINE

Posted by tpapers On 11:05 pm 0 comments
Abstract:

The Split-Cycle Engine changes the heart of the conventional engine by dividing (or splitting) the four strokes of the Otto cycle over a paired combination of one compression cylinder and one power cylinder. Gas is compressed in the compression cylinder and transferred to the power cylinder through a gas passage.The gas passage includes a set of uniquely timed valves, which maintain a precharged pressure through all four strokes of the cycle. Shortly after the piston in the power cylinder reaches its top dead center position, the gas is quickly transferred to the power cylinder and fired (or combusted) to produce the power stroke. Split-cycle internal combustion engine claims have the potential to double fuel efficiency for same size engine, while reducing the manufacturing price by up to 50% which includes a built in dedicated compressor. Rather than using batteries and electric motors/generators to harness braking energy, the engine uses the air compressor.A split cycle engine includes a novel compressor apparatus driven by the combustion engine, a closed-cycle refrigeration system in cooperation with the compressor apparatus, and a pneumatic motor driven by compressed air from the compressor apparatus. Refrigerant in the compressor absorbs thermal energy from compressed air and assists in compressing the air. High-pressure air from the compressor is stored in a storage tank and may be used to drive the pneumatic motor or other auxiliary equipment in addition to providing high-pressure combustion air for the internal combustion engine.

Abstract:

In a day by day price exacerbation of petroleum, jatropha bio-fuel can be used in lace of fossil fuel. While the diesel engine using this fuel, it is necessary that the life time and the safety of the nozzle to be safeguarded. For the better data comparison, numerical method of analysis (CFD) is required to compare the experimental values in terms of pressure, velocity, stresses on walls and strains. The flow pattern of 100% diesel in fuel injector is studied with experimental values in CFD and compared with the blend of 20% jatropha and 80% diesel flow pattern to find the optimum design. Then the optimum design is tested in the running conditioned diesel engine. In this paper, the results of the analysis are to be presented only from the point of “Optimum design spray pattern of 20 % bio-fuel blend with 80 % diesel is comparable to spray pattern of 100 % diesel in the fuel injector”.

Abstract:

A theoretical model was developed to evaluate the performance characteristics, combustion parameters and emissions of vegetable oil esters like Jatropha, Mahua and Neem Oil esters. The predicted results of these fuels are compared with Experimental result of diesel fuel. From the results, it is found that the heat release and work done are reduced by about 4% for Jatropha, 5% for Mahua and 8% for Neem oil esters when compared to diesel. The harmful pollutants such as HC, CO, NOX and smoke are reduced in the vegetable oil esters compared to diesel fuel. From the investigation, it is concluded that the performance of vegetable oil esters are good. Thus the developed model is highly compatible for simulation work with bio diesel as an alternative fuel.
