A nonlinear dynamic model is developed in this study to simulate the overall performance of a naturally aspirated, single cylinder, four-stroke, direct injection diesel engine under cold start and fully warmed-up conditions. The model considers the filling and emptying processes of the cylinder, blowby, intake, and exhaust manifolds. A single zone combustion model is implemented and the heat transfer in the cylinder, intake, and exhaust manifolds are accounted for. Moreover, the derivations include the dynamics of the crank-slider mechanism and employ an empirical model to estimate the instantaneous frictional losses in different engine components. The formulation is coded in modular form whereby each module, which represents a single process in the engine, is introduced as a single block in an overall Simulink engine model. The numerical accuracy of the Simulink model is verified by comparing its results to those generated by integrating the engine formulation using IMSL stiff integration routines. The engine model is validated by the close match between the predicted and measured cylinder gas pressure and engine instantaneous speed under motoring, steady-state, and transient cold start operating conditions.

Transient operation of a direct injection heavy duty (DI HD) diesel engine equipped with an NOx storage catalyst (NSC) was simulated using a ‘virtual powerplant’ simulation code with a zero-dimensional multizone combustion model. For the regeneration of the NSC the engine is required to work with lean/rich operation switches, which necessitates advanced engine management schemes for the fuelling, throttle and turbocharger wastegate. An optimization procedure, using the simulation model, resulted in a proposed schedule for the control of the various engine components involved in such engine operation.

Rate Of Heat Release

An accurate model for the heat release rate in a modern direct injection (DI) diesel engine is newly evolved from the known mixing controlled combustion model. The combustion rate could be precisely described by relating the mixing rate to the turbulent energy created at the exit of the nozzle as a function of the injection velocity and by considering the dissipation of energy in free air and along the wall. The complete absence of tuning constants distinguishes the model from the other zero-dimensional or pseudomultidimensional models, at the same time retaining the simplicity. Successful prediction of the history of heat release in engines widely varying in bores, rated speeds and types of aspirations, at all operating conditions, validated the model.

A combustion model has been developed for a direct-injected diesel engine fueled with coal-water slurry mixture (CWM) and assisted by diesel pilot injection. The model combines the unique heat and mass transport and chemical kinetic processes of CWM combustion with the normal in-cylinder processes of a diesel engine. It includes a two-stage evaporation submodel for the drying of the CWM droplet, a global kinetic submodel for devolatilization, and a char combustion submodel describing surface gasification by oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. The combustion volume is discretized into multiple zones, each of whose individual thermochemistry is determined by in-situ equilibrium calculations. This provides an accurate determination of the boundary conditions for the CWM droplet combustion submodels and the gas phase heat release. A CWM fuel jet development, entrainment, and mixing submodel is used to calculate the mass of unburned air in each of the burned zones. A separate submodel of diesel pilot fuel combustion is incorporated into the overall model, as it has been found that pilot fuel is required to achieve satisfactory combustion under many operating conditions. The combustion model is integrated with an advanced engine design analysis code. The integrated model can be used as a tool for exploration of the effects of fuel characteristics, fuel injection parameters, and engine design variables on engine performance, and in the assessment of the effects of component design modifications on the overall efficiency of the engine and the degree of coal burnout achieved.

The paper analyzes the operations of a small high speed direct injection (HSDI) turbocharged diesel engine by means of a parallel experimental and computational investigation. As far as the numerical approach is concerned, an in-house 1D research code for the simulation of the whole engine system has been enhanced by the introduction of a multizone quasi-dimensional combustion model, tailored for multijet direct injection diesel engines. This model takes into account the most relevant issues of the combustion process: spray development, air-fuel mixing, ignition, and formation of the main pollutant species (nitrogen oxide and particulate). The prediction of the spray basic patterns requires previous knowledge of the fuel injection rate. Since the direct measure of this quantity at each operating condition is not a very practical proceeding, an empirical model has been developed in order to provide reasonably accurate injection laws from a few experimental characteristic curves. The results of the simulation at full load are compared to experiments, showing a good agreement on brake performance and emissions. Furthermore, the combustion model tuned at full load has been applied to the analysis of some operating conditions at partial load, without any change to the calibration parameters. Still, the numerical simulation provided results that qualitatively agree with experiments.

Numerical simulations of direct injection (DI) heavy-duty diesel engine combustion over the entire engine operating range were conducted using the KIVA code, with modifications to the spray, combustion, turbulence, and heat transfer models. In this work, the effect of the rates of species conversion from reactants to products in the combustion model was investigated, and a characteristic time combustion model was formulated to allow consideration of multiple characteristic time scales for the major chemical species. In addition, the effect of engine operating conditions on the model formulation was assessed, and correlations were introduced into the combustion model to account for the effects of residual gas and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). The predictions were compared with extensive engine test data. The calculation results, had good overall agreement with the experimental cylinder pressure and heat release results, and the multiple-time-scale combustion model is shown to give improved emissions predictions compared to a previous single-time-scale model. Overall, the NOx predictions are in good agreement with the experiments. The soot predictions are also in reasonable agreement with the measured particulates at medium and high loads. However, at light loads, the agreement deteriorates, possibly due to the neglect of the contribution of SOF in the soot model predictions.

This research presents a method to construct a combustion model and a method to optimize some control parameters of diesel engine in order to develop a model-based control system. The construction purpose of the model is to appropriately manage some control parameters to obtain the values of fuel consumption and emission as the engine output objectives. Stepwise method considering multicollinearity was applied to construct combustion model with the polynomial model. Using the experimental data of a single cylinder diesel engine, the model of power, BSFC,NOx, and soot on multiple injection diesel engines was built. The proposed method succesfully developed the model that describes control parameters in relation to the engine outputs. Although many control devices can be mounted to diesel engine, optimization technique is required to utilize this method in finding optimal engine operating conditions efficiently beside the existing development of individual emission control methods. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) was used to calculate control parameters to optimize fuel consumption and emission based on the model. The proposed method is able to calculate control parameters efficiently to optimize evaluation item based on the model. Finally, the model which added PSO then was compiled in a microcontroller.

The objective of this project was to develop both engine performance and emission profiles for two test fuels — a 6% water-in-diesel oil emulsion (DOE-6) fuel and a neat diesel (D100) fuel. The testing was performed on a single cylinder, direct-injection, water-cooled diesel engine coupled to an eddy current dynamometer. Output parameters of the engine were used to calculate Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) and Engine Efficiency (η) for each test fuel. DOE-6 fuels generated a 24% reduction in NOX and a 42% reduction in Carbon Monoxide emissions over the tested operating conditions. DOE-6 fuels presented higher ignition delays — between 1°-4°, yielded 1%–12% lower peak cylinder pressures and produced up to 5.5% lower exhaust temperatures. Brake Specific Fuel consumption increased by 6.6% for the DOE-6 fuels as compared to the D100 fuels. This project is the first research done by a New Zealand academic institution on water-in-diesel emulsion fuels.

Abstract Emission from the DI diesel engine is series setback for environment viewpoint. Intended for that investigates for alternative biofuel is persuaded. The important hitches with the utilization of biofuels and their blends in DI diesel engines are higher emanations and inferior brake-thermal efficiency as associated to sole diesel fuel. In this effort, Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) biodiesel, hydrogen and ethanol (BHE) mixtures remained verified in a direct-injection diesel engine with single cylinder to examine the performance and discharge features of the engine. The ethanol remained supplemented 5%, 10% and 15% correspondingly through enhanced CNSL as well as hydrogen functioned twin fuel engine. The experiments done in a direct injection diesel engine with single-cylinder at steadystate conditions above the persistent RPM (1500RPM). Throughout the experiment, emissions of pollutants such as fuel consumption rate (SFC), hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and pressure of the fuel were also measured. cylinders. The experimental results show that, compared to diesel fuel, the braking heat of the biodiesel mixture is reduced by 26.79-24% and the BSFC diminutions with growing addition of ethanol from the CNSL hydrogen mixture. The BTE upsurges thru a rise in ethanol proportion with CNSL hydrogen mixtures. Finally, the optimum combination of ethanol with CNSL hydrogen blends led to the reduced levels of HC and CO emissions with trivial upsurge in exhaust gas temperature and NOx emissions. This paper reconnoiters the routine of artificial neural networks (ANN) to envisage recital, ignition and discharges effect.
