34-21 CERCETAREA EXPERIMENTALĂ A EMISIEI DE CO2 ÎN RAPORT CU NIVELUL CONSUMULUI DE COMBUSTIBIL LA MOTORUL 1.3 DE LA AUTOMOBILUL SUZUKI SWIFT LA TEMPERATURĂ EXTERIOARĂ DE 0 °C

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH OF CO2 EMISSION IN RELATION WITH FUEL LEVEL AT 1.3 ENGINE FROM SUZUKI SWIFT AT 0 °C EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE
The present applied experimental paper determines, with the latest software equipment available online, the carbon dioxide emission level related to specific average fuel consumption (which depends on the accelerator pedal position) and driving conditions in real traffic on a usual road track between Cluj-Napoca and Alba Iulia. There are no particular studies related to this specific topic concerning the fuel consumption level and carbon dioxide emissions of the 1.3 dm3 engine from the Suzuki Swift. Nowadays are many similar vehicles in the small class on the roads in EU countries.
The fuel consumption control influences the carbon dioxide emission management with electronic online module regarding the carbon foot-print, energy efficiency and level of pollution. Analyzing the fuel specific consumption of the petrol engine from Suzuki Swift creates the opportunity to optimize carbon dioxide emissions, as well as other environmental controls. This experimental research is developed while testing the electronic management system regarding specific fuel consumption through engine control unit to acquire testing data. The actual values are recorded in different driving conditions, on average range.

Designing and testing the coupling solution of a trailer at the hook of utility all terrain vehicle CF MOTO 500-2A

 

All-Terrain Vehicles are today quite popular and often known both as entertaining systems as well as utility equipment. The scientific paper shows a small contribution to the design and implementation of a practical solution for coupling the trailer to the ATV tow. There was used a dynamometric sensor in order to measure the inertial forces during braking process in various conditions of driving the ATV CF MOTO 500-2A, considering all the time accelerating and decelerating manoeuvres in the case of trailer towing, when a traction mass is placed on the vehicle’s hook, due to the attached trailer. The importance of studying the kinematic and dynamic aspects of ATV’s driving process resides in significance that the trailer inertia force has on the road train during some driving manoeuvres of cornering, decelerating and accelerating.

31-83 CERCETAREA INFLUENȚEI RUGOZITĂȚII ASUPRA PARAMETRILOR DE PERFORMANȚĂ A UNUI MOTOR CU ARDERE INTERNĂ

research REGARDING THE INFLUENCE OF ROUGHNESS ON PERFORMANCE OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

 

The present paper presents the study of the intake pipes surface roughness and its influences on the performance of an internal combustion engine. The measurements of the roughness were made experimentally, and the influences were studied using three simulation software: AVL BOOST (2013.1), GT Suite (7.4.0) and WAVE (2014.1). In order to obtain conclusive results, the same engine (Opel Astra F engine type C20NE) was simulated in three software, using the old type of materials for the intake pipes (forged cast iron) and the newer versions of materials (plastic). The data from all simulations were extracted, managed and accurately inspected and interpreted. The main conclusion of the paper is that the surface roughness of the intake pipe has an effect on the power of the internal combustion engine, not only because of the weight, but also the flow is improved. The same conclusion was obtained from all software.

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCHES OF CF MOTO 500- 5A/L7E
ATV’S DYNAMICS IN THE CASE OF TRAILER TOW
All-Terrain Vehicles are globally-spread nowadays both as entertaining
systems and as utility equipment. This paper presents a contribution to the
experimental research and graphical study of the data gained by developing a
practical protocol and methodology in order to monitor the kinematic and
dynamic parameters for three specific road surfaces, with all-terrain vehicle of
the type ATV CF MOTO 500-5A/L7e in the process of deceleration/acceleration
from different initial speed values. There were measured the braking distances
compared to the initial reference point and meanwhile were determined the
dynamic parameters of the ATV CF MOTO 500-5A/L7e during the
acceleration/deceleration process in the case of trailer towing, when a traction
force acts at the vehicle hook due to the 750 kg trailer. The opportunity of
researching this dynamic behavior is made possible by a research contract in
Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, showing that the trailer inertia force is
influencing both kinematics and dynamics during driving maneuvers of braking
and accelerating, as well as different conditions during usual ATV riding.

SYSTEM FOR EXHAUST GASES FROM INTERNAL
COMBUSTION ENGINES
The present work shows a detailed analysis of gases after-treatment
systems for modern spark engines with different components installed, by
generating a simulation research of the working phenomenology and
parameters. It outlines the specific field of gas after-treatment methods (with
modern catalytic components) developed for spark ignited engines, specifically
