Engineering Research Equipment Grant: A Modern Single-Cylinder Engine Test Facility for Diesel Engine Research

这笔设备赠款为现有的发动机燃烧设施提供了一台柴油研究发动机和必要的废气分析仪。该设备将用于发动机传热、燃烧和排放的基础研究。初步的研究将集中在低放热柴油机的这些燃烧特性上。近40年来，伊利诺伊大学的内燃机研究一直相当活跃。然而，目前的大多数实验室设施都可以追溯到20世纪30年代的S。这笔设备拨款是一项重大升级计划的一部分，目的是为现代研究设施提供高速数据采集和排放监测能力。目前研究的目标是为低散热或绝热柴油机的成功设计做出实质性贡献。

This equipment grant provides a diesel research engine and essential exhaust gas analyzers to the existing engine combustion facilities. This equipment will be used for basic studies of engine heat transfer, combustion and emissions. The initial studies will focus on these combustion characteristics of low-heat-rejection diesel engines. Internal combustion engine research has been quite active for nearly 40 years at the University of Illinois. Yet most of the current laboratory facilities date back to the 1930's. This equipment grant is part of a major upgrade program to provide a modern research facility with high-speed data acquisition and emissions monitoring capabilities. The goal of the current research is to make a substantial contribution to the successful design of low-heat-rejection, or adiabatic, diesel engines.
