Abstract The max11num rating of diesel engmes , as governed by the mass of air available for efficient combustion has increased steadily since the introd uction of turbochargers . As the turbocharger is powered by exhaust gas energy , its steady state speed varies with the rack position of the fuel pu mp and engine speed . However quick changes m rack position do not resu lt in instantaneous response of the turbocharger , due to its inertia and compressi bi lity of the exhaust gases link from the engine . The lag between the rate of change of air flow and fuell ing leads to rapid changes in the overall air-fuel ratio insi de the combustion chambers . In transien t cond it ion at wh ich large changes of fuell ing occures excessi vely rich supply becomes mi xtures are developed and consequentl y the air the controll ing factor . In the presen t work , matchi ng turbochargers componen ts as a system as well as to the engine i s the major issue , and studying the matchi ng process during transient operating cond itions is very importan t to meet the requ irements of the engine during these period . To veri fy this purpose a non-l inear digital simulation of turbocharged diesel engine has been developed to pred ict transient performance . The quasi steady ” filling and emptyi ng ” approach has been employed in the analysis of the thermo and fluid dynam i cs under transi ent engine cond i tion s . The t u rbocharger i s also treated on a quasi steady basi s , with the aid of steady state performa nce characteri sti c. I n order to faci l i tate the computat ions , the proposed model employs a correlat ions to sim u l ate compressor and tu rbi ne characteri stics . By applyi ng conservat ion law ( energy , mass and angu l ar momentum ) and the ideal gas equati ons , a set of coupled ordinary differential equations 1s obtained m the form of an initial value problem . Governing equations are numerically integrated in a simultaneous manner along equal steps of crank angle increments. The combustion model is based on the fuel burning rate approach . Emprical burning rate curves for the other workers are correlated for ignition delay , engine speed and equivalence fuel-air ratio . Injection delay 1s taken as the duration of propagation of a pressure wave along the fuel pipe . Heat transfer to the cylinder walls is evaluated from wall surface and instantaneous gas temperature and the wall temperature has been determined using VOSHNI’s correlation . The instantaneous valve area as well as the pressure difference has been taken into account for calculating the gas flow through the valves . Friction torque 1s also computed as a function of engine speed and maximum cylinder pressure according to Willan ’s approach . Comparison of experimental work for different authers data and predicted results for the present work shows fair agreement in most cases within the accuracy of the measurements . Effect of varymg compressor characteristic, engine cylinders number on the transient response of the engme are predicted and discussed. Evaluation of matching process are considered ,especially during the transient operating condition . A modified model is proposed to meet the requirements of the engine during such period . Finally it is concluded that the model can be used as a research and development tool , particularly in studying the feasibility of design options aimed to improving transient performance of turbocharged diesel engines , and to study how to chose the suitable turbocharger which give a good matching between the turbocharger and the engine under all engine operating conditions . |
