  • The acoustics of racing engine intake systems 
    Harrison, M. F.; Dunkley, A. (Elsevier, 2004-04-06)
    Naturally aspirated racing engines have tuned intake systems and can now achieve volumetric efficiencies in excess of 125% and peak engine speeds in excess of 18,000 rev/min. Engines designed for single seater racing ...
  • Design and investigation of a diesel engine operated on pilot ignited LPG 
    Theodoridis, Eudoxios (Cranfield University, 2009-03)
    This thesis explores the idea of igniting LPG in a compression ignition diesel engine using pilot diesel injection as spark ignition medium. The main advancement in using this technology on current diesel engines is the ...
  • Development of a liquid-phase LPG MPI conversion system 
    Vuorenkoski, Anni Kaisa (2004-10)
    For decades Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has been considered as one o f the most prominent alternative fuels to petrol. LPG typically consists of propane, butane and propylene, but also smaller quantities o f methane ...
  • Development of a spark plug fuel injector for direct injection of natural ags in spark ignition engine 
    Mohamad, Taib Iskandar (Cranfield University, 2006-07)
    In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful. By His will, this thesis has been completed as another episode of knowledge seeking and contribution. The author wishes to express a greatest gratitude to the ...
  • A hybrid boundary for the prediction of intake wave dynamics in IC engines 
    Harrison, M. F.; Perez Arenas, R. (Elsevier, 2004-02)
    This paper concerns the calculation of wave dynamics in the intake systems of naturally aspirated internal combustion (I.C.) engines. In particular it presents a method for improving the boundary conditions required to ...
  • Intake acoustics of naturally aspirated racing engines 
    Dolinar, A (Cranfield University, 2006-04)
    The intake system is one of the components on the internal combustion engine most linked with the achievement of the high volumetric efficiency required of naturally aspirated engines. High performance racing ...
  • Lap time simulation with transient vehicle and tyre dynamics 
    Kelly, Daniel Patrick (Cranfield University, 2008-05-07)
    A numerical method is presented for the time optimal control of the race car. The method is then used to perform the role of the driver in numerical simulations of manoeuvres at the limit of race car performance. The ...
  • A linear acoustic model for intake wave dynamics in IC engines 
    Harrison, M. F.; Stanev, P. T. (Elsevier, 2004-01-06)
    In this paper, a linear acoustic model is described that has proven useful in obtaining a better understanding of the nature of acoustic wave dynamics in the intake system of an internal combustion (IC) engine. The model ...
  • A linear acoustic model for multi-cylinder IC engine intake manifolds including the effects of the intake throttle 
    Harrison, M. F.; Rubio Unzueta P. L.; De Soto, I. (Elsevier, 2004-12)
    This paper presents a linear acoustic model of a multi-cylinder intake manifold that can be used as part of a hybrid time/frequency domain method to calculate the intake wave dynamics of practical naturally aspirated ...
  • Measurement and analysis of rally car dynamics at high attitude angles 
    Croft-White, Michael (Cranfield UniversityDepartment of Automotive, Mechanical and Structural Engineering, 2006-05)
    This research aims to investigate the nature of high β-angle cornering as seen in rallying and in particular the World Rally Championship. This is achieved through a combination of sensor development, on-car measurement and ...
