Mid Michigan Research provides comprehensive solutions for in-cylinder research and analyis of internal combustion engines (gasoline and diesel). Areas of speciality include CASE, a ring-pack and piston dynamics software simulation tool, optically accessible engines for research and imaging and research services for in-cylinder imaging and engine studies. Cylinder Kit Analysis System for Engines (CASE). The firm's cylinder kit analysis tool CASE is a complete software tool for parametric studies of the ring-pack and piston of internal combustion engines. It is used for predicting blowby, cylinder wear, energy losses and many other dynamic and tribological phenomena. CASE is accompanied by a very user-friendly graphical user interface and several useful visualization tools for the analysis of simulation output data. The firm's Optically Accessible Engines optical engines can provides a wide range of solutions for in-cylinder visualization. Both radial and axial accesible engines are available for a most complete visual access to the combustion chamber. Optical engines have been used to perform combustion visualization, in-cylinder flow studies and oil-film thickness analysis.
