"This work describes the development of a thermally controlled liquid propane injection system...A liquid fuel system, as described in this work, offers power gains over vaporized fuel introduction due to the ability to use the heat of vaporization from the vaporizing fuel to cool the intake charge and improve the volumetric efficiency of the engine. This system uses temperature to control the state of the fuel in the fuel system"--Introduction, leaf 1.
An industry led project with collaboration from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the University of Alabama focused on barriers for propane internal combustion engines to adapt to direct fuel injection technology. Direct injection (DI) technology is a barrier for propane engines that are primarily based on spark ignition gasoline engine platforms, which have increasingly shifted from port injection to DI. Research was conducted develop system requirements aligned with potential post-project commercialization for a mono-fuel propane DI engine based on the General Motors 4.3L V6 gasoline platform. After a key project decision point, the project transitioned to a NREL, ORNL, and University of Alabama focused effort focusing on critical high pressure fuel system controls for DI propane, and exhaust aftertreatment research for mono-fuel propane operation, including industry guidance on particulate matter emissions.

Reducing the cyclic variability of a gasoline/natural gas dual injection spark ignition engine using minimum variance control is the subject of this thesis. Cylinder pressure is used to calculate four combustion metrics, the standard deviation of which is used as an indicator of cyclic variability. Spark timing, fuel type, and engine speed are varied to characterize the cyclic variability of the engine. Location of peak pressure is found to be the best combustion metric for use as feedback in a closed loop controller. Using the location of peak pressure as an engine output and spark timing as an engine input, system identification is used to develop input-output models. Using the model, a minimum variance controller is developed which is able to reduce the cyclic variability by 1.4\% by changing the spark timing in response to the measured location of peak pressure. A detuned minimum variance tracking controller is designed to produce maximum power in changing operating conditions by using 16 crank angle degrees after top dead center as the location of peak pressure set-point. The detuned minimum variance controller is able to track and maintain the set-point under constant operating conditions and as disturbances such as, changing fuel type, addition of internal exhaust gas recirculation, and changing coolant temperature, are introduced into the system. The detuned minimum variance controller rejects these disturbances when experimentally tested and maintains optimal engine operating conditions.
