Single Cylinder Research Engine

TO GIVE ACCESS TO RESEARCHERS

The Single Cylinder Engine (SCE) project was developed as a research platform to test, validate, and optimize new engine technologies, combustion strategies, and mechanical designs. Unlike production engines, a single-cylinder setup allows for controlled testing, easier modifications, and direct measurement of combustion efficiency and power output.

The Goal of This Project

The goal was to develop a research-grade engine platform that could:

Serve as a testing ground for advanced combustion techniques and engine mechanism innovations.
Be used for experimental calibration, allowing for rapid iteration and fine-tuning.
Provide benchmarking data for future multi-cylinder engine designs.

Building the Engine from Scratch

Design & Development

Full mechanical design from the ground up, ensuring modular construction for flexible testing.
Used high-performance materials to enhance durability and efficiency.
Integrated custom cooling and lubrication systems to support long-duration testing.

Simulation & Optimization

Developed 1D engine simulation models in GT-Suite to predict performance.
Conducted CFD and structural analysis to optimize combustion chamber design and airflow.
Implemented NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) testing for smoother operation.

Testing & Calibration

Used dynamometer testing to validate power output, fuel efficiency, and emissions.
Applied data acquisition systems for in-depth performance analysis.
Experimented with different fueling strategies and ignition timing to optimize efficiency.

The Outcome

The first functional JAZARI research engine, allowing for extensive testing and innovation.
Used as a platform to refine calibration techniques, advancing engine control expertise.
Helped in securing R&D funding and grants, demonstrating technological capabilities.
Contributed to scientific papers and patents, pushing the boundaries of engine research and design.
