ARI: Acquisition of Instrumentation for Combustion Engines and Automotive Research

9601855 Varde机械工程系将获得三个燃烧研究中心：(1)可编程测功仪，可加载测试发动机，模拟车辆遇到的瞬态条件；(2)粒子图像测速（PIV）系统，可在任何时刻测量平面上数千点的速度，并提供整个流场的定量结果；(3)REGA FT-IR分析仪，可实时测量内燃机废气中的各种调节和非调节成分。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）、发动机设计的燃烧建模和汽车蒸汽压缩制冷循环的基础和应用研究。教师还参与开发内燃机和燃料的专业课程，为汽车行业的实习工程师。提案中寻求的设备将有助于培训发动机和燃料系统设计和开发方面的工程师。＊＊＊

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. ***
