Ottimizzazione di una testata per un motore diesel aeronautico

In questo elaborato di tesi ci si è occupati di riprogettare la testata del motore bicilindrico Twin Air del gruppo Fiat. La testata viene ridisegnata al fine di poter destinare questo motore, particolarmente leggero flessibile e dai bassi consumi, ad un uso aeronautico. In questa tesi si è appunto realizzata una nuova testata inserendovi 3 valvole, due di aspirazione e una di scarico, e 2 iniettori per cilinrdo. Una volta completato il disegno sono stati realizzati diversi test attraverso un software di simulazione. In particolare ci si è accertati che la camera di combustione realizzata possa resistere alle alte pressioni e temperature in gioco e che i fluidi scorrano al meglio all'interno dei condotti. Si sono utilizzati i risultati ottenuti per riprogettare iterattivamente la testa ed arrivare a un risultato finale soddisfacente.

Sperimentazione di un EGR HP Mixer e di un Oil Cooler con Bypass in un motore V6 Diesel con l’obiettivo di ridurre la CO2

Lo scopo di questa tesi è stato sperimentare componenti prototipali su un motore V6 Diesel all’interno di un banco dinamico con il fine di valutarne la riduzione di CO2 in cicli di omologazione NEDC e WLTC. In particolare si sono studiati un nuovo EGR HP Mixer e un Oil Cooler dotato di Bypass: il primo componente per migliorare l’EGR distribution da cilindro a cilindro, mentre il secondo componente per ottenere un’ottimizzazione energetica della pompa dell’olio sfruttando il nuovo bypass del cooler. L’Oil Cooler è dotato di due cartucce intercambiabili che cambiano le fasi di bypass a seconda della temperatura dell’olio: la prima cartuccia, a 2 stadi, parte dalla condizione di bypass e chiude a una certa temperatura per proteggere il motore; la seconda, a 3 stadi, sfrutta il bypass solo in un range di temperatura ottimizzato con il calcolo CFD. La riduzione di consumi di gasolio è stata valutata confrontando i diversi consumi a pari emissioni di NOx; in questo modo si è registrata una riduzione di consumi con l’EGR HP Mixer dell’1.7% nel ciclo NEDC e dello 0.5% nel ciclo WLTC. Con lo stesso metodo si è registrato che l’Oil Cooler Bypass determina nel ciclo NEDC una riduzione dello 0.6 % con la valvola a 3 Stadi e una riduzione dello 0.37 % con la valvola a 2 Stadi. Nel ciclo WLTC si è invece ottenuta una riduzione dello 0.1 % con la valvola a 3 Stadi e un aumento dello 0.33 % con la valvola a 2 Stadi. Di ogni componente è stato fatto uno studio stazionario per indagarne a fondo i comportamenti.

Acute Cardiovascular and Inflammatory Toxicity Induced by Inhalation of Diesel and Biodiesel Exhaust Particles

Analysis of fuel emissions is crucial for understanding the pathogenesis of mortality because of air pollution. The objective of this study is to assess cardiovascular and inflammatory toxicity of diesel and biodiesel particles. Mice were exposed to fuels for 1 h. Heart rate (HR), heart rate variability, and blood pressure were obtained before exposure, as well as 30 and 60 min after exposure. After 24 h, bronchoalveolar lavage, blood, and bone marrow were collected to evaluate inflammation. B100 decreased the following emission parameters: mass, black carbon, metals, CO, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and volatile organic compounds compared with B50 and diesel; root mean square of successive differences in the heart beat interval increased with diesel (p < 0.05) compared with control; low frequency increased with diesel (p < 0.01) and B100 (p < 0.05) compared with control; HR increased with B100 (p < 0.05) compared with control; mean corpuscular volume increased with B100 compared with diesel (p < 0.01), B50, and control (p < 0.001); mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration decreased with B100 compared with B50 (p < 0.001) and control (p < 0.05); leucocytes increased with B50 compared with diesel (p < 0.05); platelets increased with B100 compared with diesel and control (p < 0.05); reticulocytes increased with B50 compared with diesel, control (p < 0.01), and B100 (p < 0.05); metamyelocytes increased with B50 and B100 compared with diesel (p < 0.05); neutrophils increased with diesel and B50 compared with control (p < 0.05); and macrophages increased with diesel (p < 0.01), B50, and B100 (p < 0.05) compared with control. Biodiesel was more toxic than diesel because it promoted cardiovascular alterations as well as pulmonary and systemic inflammation.

Análise por cromatografia gasosa de BTEX nas emissões de motor de combustão interna alimentado com diesel e mistura diesel-biodiesel (B10)

This paper describes the procedures for analysing pollutant gases emitted by engines, such as volatile organic compounds (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene, m-xylene and p-xylene) by using high resolution gas chromatography (HRGC). For IC engine burning, in a broad sense, the use of the B10 mixture reduces drastically the emissions of aromatic compounds. Especially for benzene the reduction of concentrations occurs at the level of about 24.5%. Although a concentration value below 1 µg mL-1 has been obtained, this reduction is extremely significant since benzene is a carcinogenic compound.

Perfomance evaluation of a direct injection engine using different blends of soybean (Glycine max) methyl biodiesel

Diesel fuel is used widely in Brazil and worldwide. On the other hand, the growing environmental awareness leads to a greater demand for renewable energy resources. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the use of different blends of soybean (Glycine max) methyl biodiesel and diesel in an ignition compression engine with direct injection fuel. The tests were performed on an electric eddy current dynamometer, using the blends B10, B50 and B100, with 10; 50 e 100% of biodiesel, respectively, in comparison to the commercial diesel B5, with 5% of biodiesel added to the fossil diesel. The engine performance was analyzed trough the tractor power take off (PTO) for each fuel, and the best results obtained for the power and the specific fuel consumption, respectively, were: B5 (44.62 kW; 234.87 g kW-1 h-1); B10 (44.73 kW; 233.78 g kW-1 h-1); B50 (44.11 kW; 250.40 g kW-1 h-1) e B100 (43.40 kW; 263.63 g kW-1 h-1). The best performance occurred with the use of B5 and B10 fuel, without significant differences between these blends. The B100 fuel showed significant differences compared to the other fuels.
