Engine coolants temperature

Emission factors must be also critically examined to determine the tests from which they were obtained. For example, carbon monoxide from an automobile will vary with the load, engine speed, displacement, ambient temperature, coolant temperature, ignition timing, carburetor adjustment, engine condition, etc. However, in order to evaluate the overall emission of carbon monoxide to an area, we must settle on an average value that we can multiply by the number of cars, or kilometers driven per year, to determine the total carbon monoxide released to the area. 

Antifreeze is designed to prevent engine coolant from freezing at the low temperatures encountered in winter and at high altitudes. These temperatures often fall several degrees below freezing, so the value calculated in this example is what we would expect for antifreeze. 

With heater controls set on high, run the engine until it reaches operating temperature. This procedure will release any trapped air and mix the coolant. Allow the engine to cool and inspect the coolant level in the recovery system reservoir. If necessary, add more properly diluted engine coolant. Do not overfill. 

Propane is stored underpressure to keep it liquid. Unlike LNG, propane does not need anything other than a modest pressure to keep it liquefied. The tanks that store propane are pressure vessels, but since they can be made from low-carbon steel their price is modest compared to CNG and LNG tanks. The propane is vaporized in a device called the converter that lowers the pressure of the propane to vaporize it. The converter also uses engine coolant to warm the propane to ensure that it is completely vaporized when it passes on to the mixer. As its name suggests, the mixer mixes the propane and air in the desired ratio before it enters the engine. Other controls and compensation for temperature are included in the propane fuel system. Propane fuel systems can also incorporate feedback control to work with three-way catalyst emission control systems. 

The radiator in an automobile is a cross-flow heat exchanger ( M, = 10 kW/K) that uses air (c = 1.00 kJ/kg K) to cool the engine-coolant fluid (c = 4.00 kl/kg K). The engine fan draws 30°C air through this radiator at a rate of 10 kg/s while the coolant pump circulates the engine coolant at a rate of 5 kg/s. The coolant enters this radiator at 80°C. Under these conditions, the effectiveness of the radiator is 0.4. Determine (a) the outlet temperature of the air and (i) the rale of heat transfer between the two fluids. 

Fig. 7.18. Comparison of measured knock occurrence with that predicted using the Hu and Keck model for various coolant temperatures. 90 primary reference fuel 1900 rpm. (a) clean engine, showing good agreement, (b) engine with deposits knock occurs earlier than predicted, (c) engine with deposits, as (b) but modelled with fitted amounts of hydrogen peroxide (1-5 ppm) in the end gas agreement restored, providing evidence for chemical octane requirement increase.

Material selection is extremely important, not only because of system requirements (i.e., temperatures, pressures, etc.) but also because of material cost considerations. In an HVAC module, the heater core and evaporator core reside within the module, which usually comprises nylon 66 or a filled polypropylene. Refrigerant flows through the evaporator core and condenser and will vary in a range from 9 to 115°C. Engine coolant flows through the heater core and reaches temperatures up to 120°C. Valves and seals within the HVAC module must withstand temperature cycling combined with pressure extremes. 

We now have all the tools to solve reaction engineering problems involving heat effects in PFR for the cases of both constant and variable coolant temperatures.

The temperature term in Eq. 11.19 is a linear function of the coolant temperature, Ti, which is different from the exponential function used in Eqs 11.5,11.10 and 11.15. However, in the range of the coolant temperatures of power reactors of interest, both expressions show similar temperature dependence, and the difference in the form is trivial from the engineering modeling point of view.
