Jet ignition hybrid powertrain for future ultra low emission passenger cars

这项研究的目的是开发新的内部模拟工具，使深入的热力学分析的新型喷气点火发动机燃烧和优化与这项技术相关的加油策略。湍流喷射点火有可能在未来的混合动力乘用汽车中提供接近零的污染物排放和改进的燃料经济性。最近，这引起了汽车制造商的兴趣，也是诺丁汉大学发动机组的核心课题之一。在这个博士课程期间要完成的工作包括单缸测试，热力学分析和混合动力系统的模拟，以及通过增材制造实现的替代燃料和新型电机架构的研究。这项工作将在FLUTE（流体和热工程）和PEMC（电力电子，机械和控制）研究小组的指导下进行，该计划将得到全球喷气点火领导者马勒动力总成的研究引擎的支持。

The purpose of this research is to develop new in-house simulation tools that enable in-depth thermodynamic analysis of novel jet ignition engine combustion and optimise the fuelling strategies associated with this technology. Turbulent jet ignition has the potential to offer near-zero pollutant emissions and improved fuel economy in future hybrid passenger cars. It has recently attracted interest by automotive manufacturers and it is one of the core topics within the enginesgroup at the University of Nottingham.The work to be completed during this PhD programme involves single cylinder testing, thermodynamic analysis and simulation of hybrid powertrains, as well as the investigation of alternative fuels and novel e-machine architectures realised through additive manufacturing. The work will be under the guidance of the FLUTE (Fluids and Thermal Engineering) and PEMC (Power Electronics, Machinesand Control) research groups and the programme will be supported with a research engine by MAHLE Powertrain, a global leader in jet ignition.
