ARI: Acquisition of Instrumentation for Combustion Engines and Automotive Research

9601855 Varde机械工程部将收购三个用于燃烧研究的设备：(1)能够加载测试发动机以模拟车辆遇到的瞬变条件的可编程测功机，(2)可以在任意时刻测量平面上数千个点的速度并提供整个流场的定量结果的粒子图像测速系统，(3)Rega FT-IR分析仪，其设计用于实时测量内燃机废气中各种受管制和未受管制的成分。拟议的仪器以及现有的设备和测试设施将支持发动机燃烧、废气排放、燃料(包括替代燃料)、发动机设计的燃烧模型和汽车蒸汽压缩制冷循环的基础和应用研究。这些教师还参与开发内燃机和燃料方面的专门课程，供汽车行业的实习工程师使用。提案中寻求的设备将有助于对工程师进行发动机和燃料系统设计和开发方面的培训。***

9601855 Varde The Department of Mechanical Engineering will acquire three ites for combustion research: (1) a programmable dynamometer which is capable of loading the test engine to simulate transient conditions encountered by vehicles, (2) a particle image velocimetry (PIV) system that can measure velocity at thousands of points in a plane at any instant and provide quantitative results for an entire flow field, and (3) REGA FT-IR analyzer designed to measure various regulated and unregulated components on a real-time basis in exhaust gas from combustion engines. The proposed instrumentation along with the existing equipment and test facilities will support basic and applied research in engine combustion, exhaust emission, fuels (including alternate fuels), combustion modeling for engine design, and automotive vapor compression refrigeration cycle. The faculty members are also involved in developing specialized courses in combustion engines and fuels for practicing engineers in automotve industry. The equipment sought in the proposal will help in the training of engineers in engine and fuel systems design and development. ***
