Abstract:

Diesel engines are more efficient engines over a century, but the major problem associated with it is the NOx-PM trade-off. Nowadays, controlling this trade-off becomes a challenge due to the limitation of adiabatic flame temperature measurement and the achievement of strict emission norms. This study focuses on developing a simulation tool for predicting combustion phenomena, rate of heat release, and heat transfer from the cylinder without experimentation that consumes labor, time, and cost. A zero-dimensional predictive model is proposed after large numbers of trial & error with selection and coupling of appropriate combustion phenomena. Selected combustion prediction models are further validated for turbocharged diesel engines with experimentation at various loads (50% to 100%) and speeds (1400 rpm and 2200 rpm). It was observed that deviation of peak pressures at 100% load both at 2200 rpm & 1400 rpm are 9% and 3.4%, respectively, but the deviations in at Part loads, i.e., 75% and 50%load are negligible at 2200 rpm while 2.8% and 6% respectively at 1400 rpm.
