As the capabilities of the subsystem designs are demonstrated, design stability of these components is desired. The process focused on using analysis tools to facilitate selection of most suitable component design to provide the needed performance as well as utilizing Cummins design expertise in areas such as EGR system and components. As engine subsystems and components designs were completed, design reviews were held to gain input on the design and refinements were implemented to alleviate the raised issues. Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis were also conducted for the new components or subsystems. Structure and release of the new parts at " Development " status was also completed. Figure ( 8 ) shows an example of analysis work conducted to arrive at a design for the Air / Fuel / EGR mixer. Through Flow analysis various design iterations were evaluated to arrive at an acceptable mixing performance as seen in the figure. The target EGR fraction on 0.2 ( 20 % ) highlighted by the arrow denotes a green color where that mixture concentration is reached. In the " First Iteration " cross section, the distribution shows large areas of " Blue " indicating fresh air and " Red " indicating unmixed EGR gas...
