The calibration of the engine control unit is increased for the development of the whole automotive system. The aim is to calibrate the electronic engine control to match the decreasing emission requirements and increasing fuel economy demands. The reduction of the number of tests on vehicles represents one of the most important requirements for increasing efficiency of the engine calibration process. However, the definition of the design of experiment is not straightforward because the data is not known beforehand, so it is difficult to process and analyse this data to achieve a globally valid model. To reduce time effort and costs the virtual calibration can be a valid solution. This procedure is called software in the loop (SIL) calibration able to develop a process to systematically identify the optimal balance of engine performance, emissions and fuel economy. In this work, a virtual calibration methodology is presented by using a two-stage model to get minimum exhaust emissions of a diesel engine. The data used are from a GT-Power model of a 3L supercharged diesel engine. The model is able to calculate the engine emissions for different engine parameters (such as the start of injection, EGR fraction and rail pressure) and from optimisation process, new injection start maps that reduce pollutant emissions are created.

This paper presents a control-oriented thermodynamic model capable of predicting nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions in diesel engines. It is derived from zero-dimensional combustion model using in-cylinder pressure as the input. The methodology is based on a two-zone thermodynamic model which divides the combustion chamber into a burned and unburned gas zone. The original contribution of proposed method arises from: (1) application of a detailed two-zone modeling framework, developed in a way that the thermodynamic equations could be solved in a closed form without iterative procedure, which provides the basis for achieving high level of predictiveness, on the level of real-time capable models and (2) introduction of relative air-fuel ratio during combustion as a main and physically motivated calibration parameter of the NOx model. The model was calibrated and validated using data sets recorded in two different direct injection diesel engines, i.e. a light and a heavy-duty engine. The model is suitable for real-time applications since it takes less than a cycle to complete the entire closed cycle thermodynamic calculation including NOx prediction, which opens the possibility of integration in the engine control unit for closed-loop or feed-forward control.

Comparative Results

The obviousness of the finiteness of the planet's energy resources makes us constantly concern ourselves with the search for new energy sources and their rational use. The main energy converter is the internal combustion engine and contrary to forecasts, continues to occupy a leading position. Therefore, the issues of improving its working processes, reducing the consumption of mineral fuel, the possibility of using all kinds of alternative fuels and improving the quality of motor fuel continue to be considered throughout the energy world. On the agenda is the dissemination of advances in nanotechnology to the propulsion industry. Improvement of engine performance when using fuel dispersed with nanomaterials of various types is beyond doubt and is used both for pure petroleum and biodiesel and for their mixtures. In the article, against the background of the analysis of studies on the use of alternative biofuels and the introduction of the practice of introducing nanoparticles into petroleum fuel and biofuels as a potential energy carrier to improve the characteristics of toxicity and engine performance, the results of studies of a number of biofuels have been presented. Presented are the results of a study of the performance of a 1Ch 8.5 / 11 diesel engine carried out in the laboratory of IPMash NAS of Ukraine when operating on diesel fuel dispersed with carbon spheroidal nanoadditives of various concentrations, and some comparative results of studies of the indicators of diesel engines with direct injection 2Ch 10.5 / 12 and 4ChN 7.9 / 7.5 ALH, operating on standard and mixed fuels with biocomponents synthesized from rapeseed, sunflower, mustard and corn oils. The thermophysical properties of the fuel (heat of combustion, thermal conductivity, heat capacity, density, kinematic viscosity, convective heat transfer, ignition temperature, cetane number, etc.) undergo significant changes when nanoparticles are introduced into it. The optimal amount of metal nanoparticles, metal oxides, carbon tubes, graphene in mineral, biodiesel or mixed fuel promotes more complete combustion, significantly improves engine performance, and reduces harmful emissions.

Nowadays, automotive industries focused on clean diesel combustion in their combustion processes are investigated for their potential to achieve near zero particulate and NOx (Nitrogen oxides) emissions. Their main disadvantages are increased level of unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions, combustion control at high load, power output and limited operating range. The simulation of the air flow, spray and combustion in an internal combustion engine were prepared for a single cylinder of a nine-liter, six cylinder diesel engine. Many times the geometry is complex because moving pistons and valves are involved, which makes it difficult to generate structured mesh. In-cylinder spray-air motion interaction, a Lagrangian multiphase model has been applied in a heavy-duty CI engine under direct injection conditions. A comprehensive model for atomization of liquid sprays under high injection pressures has been employed. Three dimensional CFD calculations of the intake, compression and power strokes have been carried out with different spray angle, spray profile and start of injection. A new combustion model ECFM-3Z (Extended Coherent Flame Model) developed at IFP is used for combustion modeling. Finally, a calculation on an engine configuration with compression, spray injection and combustion in a direct injection Diesel engine is presented. In this study, exhaust emissions, and particularly the emission of NOx, CO and soot derived from premixed combustion are investigated, and the relationship between combustion and emission characteristics are showed. The calculated CFD simulation in different combustion cases was compared. The cases were prepared by changing the parameters: start of injection, spray angle and spray profile. Modeling of combustion proposed in the present study can be outlined as follows. NOx concentration is decreased by combustion of a over lean-mixture modeled by the pre-injection. Most of pre-mixture is combusted by main-injection, and therefore the amount of pre-injection and main-injection come into prominence. The results are greatly in agreement qualitatively with the previous experimental and computational studies in the literature.

Biodiesel is a renewable energy source which is gaining prominence as an alternative fuel over fossil diesel for different applications. Due to their higher viscosity and lower volatility, biodiesels are blended with diesel in various proportions. B20 blends are viable and sustainable solutions in diesel engines with acceptable engine performance as they can replace 20% fossil fuel usage. Biodiesel blends are slightly viscous as compared with diesel and can be used in common rail direct injection (CRDI) engines which provide high pressure injection using an electronic control unit (ECU) with fuel flexibility. In view of this, B20 blends of three biodiesels derived from cashew nutshell (CHNOB (B20)), jackfruit seed (JACKSOB (B20)), and Jamun seed (JAMNSOB (B20)) oils are used in a modified single-cylinder high-pressure-assisted CRDI diesel engine. At a BP of 5.2 kW, for JAMNSOB (B20) operation, BTE, NOx, and PP increased 4.04%, 0.56%, and 5.4%, respectively, and smoke, HC, CO, ID, and CD decreased 5.12%, 6.25%, 2.75%, 5.15%, and 6.25%, respectively, as compared with jackfruit B20 operation.

Abstract Diesel fueled generators are widely used for power generation in remote and/or off-grid communities. In such communities, local organic waste streams can be used to generate biogas which can be used to replace diesel used by diesel generators to lower fuel cost and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Diesel powered generators can be easily retrofitted with a biogas dosing line in the engine intake to introduce biogas, but appropriate optimization would be of great help to further improve generator performance and reduce GHG emissions. The objective of this research is to demonstrate simplified optimization methods that can reduce GHG emissions (carbon dioxide and methane) from such retrofitted dual-fuel engines under various biogas compositions. The study was conducted on a modern 30 kilowatt (kW) generator using an electronically controlled, four-stroke, four-cylinder, direct injection, turbo-charged diesel engine. The engine was operated with the factory electronic control unit (ECU) and a programmable ECU which allowed for control of the fuel injections and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve. Biogas was simulated by using natural gas (with more than 95% methane by volume) which was diluted with either carbon dioxide or nitrogen. This study consisted of two areas. The first one was the comparison of the engine performance when operating with biogas using the factory ECU and the programmable ECU with user optimized fuel injection. The second one was the influence of volume fraction of carbon dioxide or nitrogen in the biogas. The test results reinforced the importance of optimizing the diesel injections when the engine was operated in the biogas-diesel dual-fuel mode to ensure complete combustion and achieve a reduction in GHG emissions. Increasing nitrogen fraction had a minimal effect on the emissions, but increasing carbon dioxide fraction caused the NOx and methane emissions to decrease, and the indicated thermal efficiency to increase.

This paper describes how different timing and shape of the injection law can influence pollutant emission of a direct injection diesel engine. The study was carried out making use of a “multizone” thermodynamic model as regards the closed valve phase, and a “filling-emptying” one as regards the open valve phase. After being calibrated by comparison with experimental data, the abovementioned model was used for injection law optimization as regards minimum pollutant concentration (NOx and soot) in the exhaust gases with the smallest engine performance reduction possible.

With the increasingly stringent emissions and fuel economy standards, there is a need to develop new advanced in-cylinder sensing techniques to optimize the operation of the internal combustion engine. In addition, reducing the number of on-board sensors needed for proper engine monitoring over the lifetime of the vehicle would reduce the cost and complexity of the electronic system. This paper presents a new technique to enable one engine component, the fuel injector, to perform multiple sensing tasks in addition to its primary task of delivering the fuel into the cylinder. The injector is instrumented within an electric circuit to produce a signal indicative of some injection and combustion parameters in electronically controlled spark ignition direct injection (SIDI) engines. The output of the multisensing fuel injector (MSFI) system can be used as a feedback signal to the engine control unit (ECU) for injection timing control and diagnosis of the injection and combustion processes. A comparison between sensing capabilities of the multisensing fuel injector and the spark plug-ion sensor under different engine operating conditions is also included in this study. In addition, the combined use of the ion current signals produced by the MSFI and the spark plug for combustion sensing and control is demonstrated.
