The article deals with the subject of the impact of an exhaust system on the power of the internal combustion engine. In particular the article shows the possibility of increasing the power of the gasoline drive unit, interfering only with an exhaust system. The purpose of the tests carried out is to compare the results of measurements from the chassis dynamometer before and after the modification, and additionally to perform simulations for the key parts of the system in terms of shaping the power and torque curves. The analysis includes a simulation model of the exhaust gas flow through the serial manifold and also the sport manifold, especially the pressure distribution and the course of the velocity vectors at the characteristic points of the element. Before obtaining the final results of power measurements on the sport units, the roughness of the steel from which the collectors were made was also measured. The final stage is the measurement of power on the new exhaust system. The obtained results of power measurements and simulations were presented in the form of a summary, which focused on the impact of individual fluid mechanics phenomena on the formation of power and torque curves and detailed the advantage of the new exhaust system in comparison with the factory system in terms of increasing the performance of the tested vehicle.
The paper presents a short-time analysis of the vibration signals for the diagnosis of Diesel engine of combustion locomotive by recognition of different engine states using the clustering technique. The main aim of the researches was to distinguish between different engine states represent different wear extends. The proposed method of vibration signal analysis consists on sliding a time window along signal in time and observing the changes of some given statistical parameters. The set of this parameter values creates a multidimensional parameter space where the time evolution can be observed. For recognition and detection of different engine system states some clustering techniques in the parameter space were performed. The results show the possibility of distinguishing different cluster centers within the parameter space which can be assigning to different engine states represented the states before and after a general repair.
