• Testing of internal combustion engines and their functional systems, DSc. DEng. W. Serdecki, DEng. P. Krzymień, DEng. A Krzymień, DEng. Ł. Rymaniak, Prof. K. Wisłocki, DSC. DEng. I. Pielecha
  

  The manual is a coherent thematic study of combustion engine information provided to students during specialized lectures and exercises. It focuses on issues related to the wide-ranging study of an internal combustion engine working as a stand-alone unit or in a hybrid propulsion system. The manual is divided into two parts. The first part, titled General Information, provides basic information about the construction of an engine dynamometer station and its equipment, how to measure the basic values characterizing engine performance, and discusses the most important activities related to the development and presentation of measurement results. In chapters 2 and 3, Internal combustion engines tests contains information about the tests that allow determining the engine parameters in the selected operating conditions, as well as methods of determining the parameters characterizing its technical condition. Those wishing to broaden their knowledge in the field of combustion engine research are provided with a comprehensive list of specialist literature. This manual is intended for students of engineering and machine engineering, transport and aviation as well as aeronautics, who study both in full-time and extramural study systems at all levels of education.

• Combustion engine emissions testing, DSC. DEng. I. Pielecha, Prof. J. Pielecha, DSc. DEng. M. Kozak, DSc. DEng. P. Fuć
  

  This manual provides information on how to assess and limit the harmful effects of an internal combustion engine on the human environment. It was developed by employees of the Department of Combustion Engines of the Institute of Combustion Engines and Transport at the Poznan University of Technology and is aimed to broaden the knowledge shared with the students during specialized lectures and exercises. It is a continuation of the published research on Testing of Internal Combustion Engines (2012). In relation to the previous one, the current edition is divided into two publications entitled: Testing of internal combustion engines and their functional systems and Combustion engine emissions testing. The issues presented relate to the practical methods of assessing exhaust emissions of internal combustion engines (but also vehicles as a whole) that can be performed during laboratory sessions. The first part – titled: General Information, provides information on methods of measuring gaseous pollutants emissions in the exhaust gases, as well as equipment and measurement systems for particulate matter analysis. The second part – titled: Measuring the environmental pollution of transport, contains the information on possible ways of assessing exhaust emissions from combustion engines powered by various fuels and at the same time equipped with the latest exhaust gas aftertreatment systems. Issues related to the assessment of vehicle exhaust emissions using data available from their diagnostic systems were discussed. Index: ISBN 978-83-7775-473-3 Published: 2017 Edition: I Pages: 298

• Optical methods of petroleum injection and combustion diagnostic, DSC. DEng. I. Pielecha
  

  This study presents an analysis of issues related to the diagnosis of direct gasoline injection and its spraying, including the preparation of the fuel and its combustion, analyzed in the aspect of possible engine processes control using changes of selected indicators. Due to the significant market share of direct-injection petrol engines, these issues are current, however, they are still not well documented. Contemporary research capabilities allow for the diagnostics of the injection and combustion process in a direct petrol injection system. The optical diagnostics of petrol injection and combustion processes can be carried out using fixed volume chambers or transparent engines. For this purpose, a selection of available systems was made, indicating the possibility of carrying out diagnostic tests in the aspect of fuel injection or combustion. The study includes an assessment of the combustion of different types of fuel blends and doses in the cylinder with direct petrol injection systems (conventional and proposed as future systems – injection with two injectors placed directly in the combustion chamber); the trends of combustion parameters change were indicated. The relation between average combustion values was shown: maximum combustion pressure in the cylinder, heat recovery rate with the process local values: flame temperature distribution, replacement flame radius and velocity. A high repeatability of the fuel injection and its spraying, of the flame distribution and its temperature, during the combustion process of large fuel doses has been demonstrated.
