Mathematical Model of Thermodynamic Processes in the Intake Manifold of a Diesel Engine with Fuel and Water Injection

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study aimed at creating a mathematical model of thermodynamic processes in the intake manifold of a forced diesel engine, taking into account the features of simultaneous injection of fuel and water into the collector. In the course of the study, the tasks of developing a mathematical model were solved, it was implemented in the existing software for component simulation “Internal combustion engine research and development” (ICE RnD), created using the Modelica language, and verification was undertaken using the results of bench tests of diesel engines with injection fuel and water into the intake manifold. The mathematical model is based on a system of equations for the energy and mass balances of gases and includes detailed mathematical submodels of the processes of simultaneous evaporation of fuel and water in the intake manifold; it takes into account the effect of the evaporation of fuel and water on the parameters of the gas state in the intake manifold; it takes into account the influence of the state parameters of the working fluid in the intake manifold on the physical characteristics of fuel and water; it meets the principles of component modeling, since it does not contain parameters that are not related to the simulated component; it describes the process of simultaneous transfer of vapors and non-evaporated liquids between components; and it does not include empirical relationships requiring data on the dynamics of fuel evaporation under reference conditions. According to the results of a full-scale experiment, the adequacy of the mathematical model developed was confirmed. This model can be used to determine the rational design parameters of the fuel and water injection system, the adjusting parameters of the forced diesel engine that provide the required power, and economic indicators, taking into account the limitations on the magnitude of the mechanical and thermal loads of its parts.

Influence of gas distribution port parameters on in-cylinder working pressure of Annular Connecting Straight Cylinder Engine

“…The mass growth rate of the working gas in the cylinder is equal to the difference between the mass growth rate of the working gas flowing into the cylinder from the outside and the mass growth rate of the working gas flowing out from the cylinder to the outside 28 , which can be express as:…”

A Segmentation Model of ECU Excitation Signal Based on Characteristic Parameters

“…The hardware-in-the-loop simulation links a portion of the real system equipment to the computer, simulates a portion of the real system equipment using the mathematical model, and simultaneously assures the function of the whole system. Krzysztof Wiecławski et al [ 31 , 32 ] introduced a model of an injector in the form of a current waveform that describes the changes in current and voltage during its operation. The actual start time and duration of injection can be determined using a mathematical model that describes the voltage-current phenomenon during the injector operation.…”

Validated Analytical Modeling of Diesel Engines Intake Manifold with a Flexible Crankshaft

“…The research area of mechanical energy modeling and analysis still has been a hot area of research. This is evident in very recent research papers developed at highly esteemed institutions such as [6,7]. In addition, very recently the featured paper in the "Energies" journal-Volume 14-Issue 1 in 2021, has been on diesel engines performance.…”
