SAE International Journals

Read an #openaccess article from the upcoming Focus Issue on Fossil Free Alternate Fuel Technology for IC Engines—publishing later this month. “Effects of Dimethyl Ether and Propane Blends on Knocking Behavior in a Boosted SI Engine” by Lian Soto Izquierdo (University of Michigan, USA; Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), Spain); Taehoon Han (University of Michigan, USA; University of Suwon, South Korea), and Andre Boehman (University of Michigan, USA). This study explores the use of dimethyl ether (DME) and propane blends as alternative fuels for spark-ignition (SI) engines. It analyzes the effects of different DME proportions in propane on knocking behavior, combustion characteristics, gaseous emissions, and particle number concentration under various intake pressures. Increased DME content in the blend heightened knocking tendencies, especially under higher intake pressures. However, a 20% DME blend achieved maximum brake torque without knocking in all tested conditions, showing potential for optimized fuel blending.

Upcoming deadline: #callforpapers for Focus Issue on Automated Vehicles (AV)/Highly Automated Vehicles (HAV): Decision Making under Uncertainty Automated Vehicles, Highly Automated Vehicles, and their associated technologies are fundamentally changing not just how society views transportation, but how corporations big and small view and plan for their own future. Whether it be large-scale deployments of robotaxis in urban settings, long-haul trucking for major carriers, or societal concerns regarding safety and the risk of bias built into model training, there is no escaping the fact that AV and HAV technologies are with us and will be for the foreseeable future. This issue of the SAE International Journal of Commercial Vehicles is seeking research on topics related to: ◾ Agricultural robotics, on-road commercial vehicles, heavy equipment, and mining ◾ Decision-making techniques and methodologies for navigation, target identification, and collision avoidance ◾ Drive-by-wire and related control technologies ◾ Game-theoretic and multiagent approaches to coordination and control ◾ Obstacle detection and avoidance ◾ Optimization techniques to minimize fuel consumption ◾ Path / trajectory planning ◾ Platooning vehicle interaction with non AV/HAV players ◾ Sensor parameterization for autonomous vehicle perception ◾ Testing and safety standards for ground vehicle robotics Submit your research by November 30, 2024 More information available here: https://sae.to/47m8R5a Guest Editors: Benjamin Duprey (IPG Automotive, USA); Lin Li (Nikola Motors, USA) #commercialvehicle #research #automatedvehicles

#HighImpact article: "Unveiling the Potential of Hydrogen in a Downsized Gasoline Direct Injection Engine Performance and Emissions Experimental Study" From the latest issue of the SAE International Journal of Fuels and Lubricants, this article presents a groundbreaking analysis of the potential of hydrogen direct injection technology compared to gasoline. The transportation sector’s growing focus on addressing environmental and sustainable energy concerns has led to a pursuit of decarbonization. Hydrogen has emerged as a promising zero-carbon fuel with its ability to provide reliable performance while reducing environmental impact. This study compares gasoline and hydrogen combustion in a single-cylinder boosted direct injection (DI) spark ignition engine under various operating conditions. The authors demonstrate the potential of hydrogen adoption for existing carbon-based platforms and new dedicated hydrogen engines.
