Two Zone Combustion Models for Second Law Analysis of Internal Combustion Engines

Effect of the use of olive–pomace oil biodiesel/diesel fuel blends in a compression ignition engine: Preliminary exergy analysis

“…An exergy analysis identifies the components of a system that generate major destruction of exergy, besides the processes that cause it. Although this research line has been applied to in-cylinder processes [13][14][15], nowadays, studies are focused on engine operation under different applications and technical modifications that can alter their operation when different fuels (including those of renewable nature) are used. In this sense, Caton [16] studied the implications of the use of several alcohols, carbon monoxide and hydrogen on a spark-ignition engine.…”

Effects of charge properties on exergy balance in spark ignition engines

“…88 They stated that the efficiency decreases by increasing fuel-air 89 equivalence ratio. Shapiro and Van Gerpen performed exergy anal-90 ysis for both SI and diesel engines by using a two-zone combustion 91 model [10]. The effects of the equivalence ratio, the mixing of fuel 92 and air, the residual gas fraction and the burn duration on irreversi-93 bilities and chemical and thermomechanical exergies were investi-94 gated.…”

Thermodynamic analysis of Spark Ignition engines using the Entropy Generation Minimisation method

“…Internal combustion engine cycle analysis has recently been made using several methods such as Thermodynamic Second Law analysis (Shapiro and Gerpen, 1989;Bozza et al, 1991;Caton 2000Caton , 2002, Finite Time Thermodynamics (Angulo-Brown et al, 1994; and Exergy analysis (Lipkea and DeJoode, 1889; Anderson et al, 1998). The Entropy Generation Minimisation (EGM) method used by Bejan (1994Bejan ( , 1996Bejan ( , 1997Bejan ( , 2002 can be applied to power plants and used for the optimisation of systems and processes, leading to EGM as well as to power production maximisation, and also to Internal Combustion Engines (Ribeiro, 2005;Rakopoulos, 2006).…”
