The research in question deals with combustion dynamics vs physicochemical properties of fuel. The latters were modified by mixing of diesel fuel with alternative fuels or various combustible or non-combustible additives. Presented is a systematized list of tasks that might possibly be solved by the above method.- table, 6 ill., 11 ref.
Stress distribution in a crankshaft of high-powered diesel engine was imitated with polarized light method, using 2-D shaft model. Imitation yielded qualitative pattern of isochoric lines, and quantitative stress distribution in fringe orders. Based on processing of fringe patterns, stress concentration factors in crankshaft fillets were determined.1 table, 2 ill., 2 ref.
The article presents detailed summaries of CIMAC 2007 papers concerning gas-turbine supercharge and turbochargers.1 table, 10 ill., 6 ref.
The article discusses technical diagnosis system for marine diesel engine fuel-injection equipment, based on value of fuel pressure pulse upstream of injection pump. The system proved to perform quite satisfactory, and may be efficiently used in practice.- table, 4 ill., 4 ref.
Cable-type and combined shock absorbers are offered, to reduce vibration of diesel-powered units and their components. High-performance cable-type and combined shock absorbers may be used not only as supports, but also as flexible couplings, suspension brackets etc.3 table, 2 ill., 10 ref.
The authors analyze approaches and technologies targeted at lowering friction in parts and units of a marine propulsion system. Application of antifrictional/recondition compounds is demonstrated to be an efficient energy-saving provision.- table, - ill., 4 ref.
The article analyzes sources of conjugate deviation of camshaft chain drive in a low-speed diesel engine. This parameter is shown as a possible basis for chain drive malfunction diagnostics. Results are presented of tests carried out on diesel engines featuring twin-chain camshaft drive.- table, 7 ill., 5 ref.
The article discusses two approaches to phaseless synchronization of reciprocating engine indicator diagram. Presented are comparative analysis of different methods discussed, and verification test results.1 table, 4 ill., 6 ref.
