Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Thermo-fluid dynamic theory, three-dimensional computations, and combustion experiments of new engines based on supermulti-jets colliding with pulse show the two following results. (1)Theory and computations: Supermulti-jets colliding with pulse bring auto-ignition of gasoline and high thermal efficiencies over 50%. This is because the supermulti-jets colliding has an effect of encasing the burned gas of high temperature around the chamber center, which results in very less hot gas on the chamber walls. (2)Combustion experiments: combination of point compression due to jets injected intake nozzles and piston compression having relatively low compression ratio actually indicated auto-ignition of gasoline and thermal efficiency potential comparable to that of traditional gasoline engines. Thus, the above results indicate the efficiency of the new compression-combustion principle based on the supermulti-jets colliding with pulse for various purposes.
