This book was released on 2006 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diesel engines offer a superior fuel economy in comparison with spark ignition gasoline engines. However, they have a relatively high level of NOx and soot emissions. With the increasingly stringent emission standards the main focus of engine research is to simultaneously reduce the fuel consumption and emissions. Traditionally, the reduction of NOx and soot from a diesel engine has been challenging since most strategies which reduce one, result in an increase of the other. The problem is further complicated by the fact that often a reduction in NOx is at the expense of the fuel consumption. With the current status of the computer CPU speed and model developments, multi-dimensional modeling has become an increasingly popular tool for engine researchers to tackle such optimization problems. However, such computational engine simulations are time intensive. Therefore, this study is aimed at developing an efficient gradient based algorithm to be used in conjunction with such Computational Fluid Dynamics tools for solving the above problem.

Book excerpt: Computational Optimization of Internal Combustion Engines presents the state of the art of computational models and optimization methods for internal combustion engine development using multi-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools and genetic algorithms. Strategies to reduce computational cost and mesh dependency are discussed, as well as regression analysis methods. Several case studies are presented in a section devoted to applications, including assessments of: spark-ignition engines, dual-fuel engines, heavy duty and light duty diesel engines. Through regression analysis, optimization results are used to explain complex interactions between engine design parameters, such as nozzle design, injection timing, swirl, exhaust gas recirculation, bore size, and piston bowl shape. Computational Optimization of Internal Combustion Engines demonstrates that the current multi-dimensional CFD tools are mature enough for practical development of internal combustion engines. It is written for researchers and designers in mechanical engineering and the automotive industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phenomenology of Diesel Combustion and Modeling Diesel is the most efficient combustion engine today and it plays an important role in transport of goods and passengers on land and on high seas. The emissions must be controlled as stipulated by the society without sacrificing the legendary fuel economy of the diesel engines. These important drivers caused innovations in diesel engineering like re-entrant combustion chambers in the piston, lower swirl support and high pressure injection, in turn reducing the ignition delay and hence the nitric oxides. The limits on emissions are being continually reduced. The- fore, the required accuracy of the models to predict the emissions and efficiency of the engines is high. The phenomenological combustion models based on physical and chemical description of the processes in the engine are practical to describe diesel engine combustion and to carry out parametric studies. This is because the injection process, which can be relatively well predicted, has the dominant effect on mixture formation and subsequent course of combustion. The need for improving these models by incorporating new developments in engine designs is explained in Chapter 2. With “model based control programs” used in the Electronic Control Units of the engines, phenomenological models are assuming more importance now because the detailed CFD based models are too slow to be handled by the Electronic Control Units. Experimental work is necessary to develop the basic understanding of the pr- esses.

This book was released on 2020-02-21 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today’s global context, there has been extensive research conducted in reducing harmful emissions to conserve and protect our environment. In the automobile and power generation industries, diesel engines are being utilized due to their high level of performance and fuel economy. However, these engines are producing harmful pollutants that contribute to several global threats including greenhouse gases and ozone layer depletion. Professionals have begun developing techniques to improve the performance and reduce emissions of diesel engines, but significant research is lacking in this area. Recent Technologies for Enhancing Performance and Reducing Emissions in Diesel Engines is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on technical and environmental enhancements to the emission and combustion characteristics of diesel engines. While highlighting topics such as biodiesel emulsions, nanoparticle additives, and mathematical modeling, this publication explores the potential additives that have been incorporated into the performance of diesel engines in order to positively affect the environment. This book is ideally designed for chemical and electrical engineers, developers, researchers, power generation professionals, mechanical practitioners, scholars, ecologists, scientists, graduate students, and academicians seeking current research on modern innovations in fuel processing and environmental pollution control.
Download or read book Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium and Heavy Duty Vehicles written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles evaluates various technologies and methods that could improve the fuel economy of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, transit buses, and work trucks. The book also recommends approaches that federal agencies could use to regulate these vehicles' fuel consumption. Currently there are no fuel consumption standards for such vehicles, which account for about 26 percent of the transportation fuel used in the U.S. The miles-per-gallon measure used to regulate the fuel economy of passenger cars. is not appropriate for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, which are designed above all to carry loads efficiently. Instead, any regulation of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles should use a metric that reflects the efficiency with which a vehicle moves goods or passengers, such as gallons per ton-mile, a unit that reflects the amount of fuel a vehicle would use to carry a ton of goods one mile. This is called load-specific fuel consumption (LSFC). The book estimates the improvements that various technologies could achieve over the next decade in seven vehicle types. For example, using advanced diesel engines in tractor-trailers could lower their fuel consumption by up to 20 percent by 2020, and improved aerodynamics could yield an 11 percent reduction. Hybrid powertrains could lower the fuel consumption of vehicles that stop frequently, such as garbage trucks and transit buses, by as much 35 percent in the same time frame.

Download or read book Model Assisted Iterative Calibration of Internal Combustion Engines written by Anuj Pal and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent automotive technological advancements mainly focus on improving fuel economy with satisfactory emission levels, leading to a significant increment of engine system complexity, especially diesel engines. This increases the number of engine control parameters, making the engine calibration process challenging and time-consuming using the conventional map-based approach. Note that engine calibration is a crucial step in achieving optimal engine performance with satisfactory emissions, and it is an expensive process in general. With the advancement and widespread adoption of machine learning methods for control applications, it is now possible to use a black-box model with intelligence to efficiently calibrate nonlinear systems without detailed knowledge of system dynamics. The surrogate-assisted optimization approach is an attractive way to reduce the total computational budget for obtaining optimal solutions. This makes it special for its application to practical optimization problems requiring a large number of expensive evaluations.The current research work focuses on the problem of performing engine calibration using the surrogate-assisted optimization approach. The objective is to find the trade-off curve between engine efficiency in terms of brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and its NOx emissions by efficiently optimizing various control parameters. The complete study is divided into three parts. The first part deals with modifying the original algorithm for efficiently handling the practical system with measurement noise. A new constrained handling algorithm is proposed for lower confidence bound (LCB) criteria that showed good performance for both deterministic and stochastic systems. Furthermore, two extensions based on the expected improvement (EI) criterion are proposed for handling stochastic multi-objective problems.After the methodology development for handling stochastic systems, the second part validates their efficacy for performing the engine calibration in a simulation setting. All three algorithms are compared to identify the best approach for its implementation on the actual engine experimental setup. Three control parameters, namely variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) vane position, exhaust-gas-recirculating (EGR) valve position, and the start of injection (SOI), are calibrated to obtain the trade-off between engine fuel efficiency performance (BSFC) and NOx emissions within the constrained design space. The simulation study identifies the lower confidence bound (LCB) criteria with the proposed constraint handling approach to work well in the stochastic setting, compared with the other two extensions. Therefore, this approach is used for the experimental evaluation of the proposed surrogate-assisted optimization for engine calibration.Finally, the third part is the experimental validation. It is the first step towards automating the entire engine calibration process. Experimental evaluations are performed on a 6.7L Ford diesel engine to validate the algorithm's efficacy. Problems with different complexity are formulated and evaluated using the proposed approach. Initially, a simpler problem with two control variables is formulated to get the confidence to perform the experiments using the proposed algorithm. Two variables: EGR valve position and VGT vane positions, are calibrated to obtain a trade-off between engine efficiency (BSFC) and NOx emissions. After observing promising results, the study is concluded with a more complicated three control variable problem. An external electrically assisted boosting device (eBoost) is added to the engine system to perform calibration. Results showed improved engine performance using the eBoost with a significant reduction in calibration effort in terms of the number of experimental evaluations. The study successfully demonstrated the application of the surrogate-assisted optimization approach to a practical engine system and opened the door to automate the engine calibration process with reduced calibration efforts.
Download or read book Mixture Formation in Internal Combustion Engines written by Carsten Baumgarten and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-09-28 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A systematic control of mixture formation with modern high-pressure injection systems enables us to achieve considerable improvements of the combustion pr- ess in terms of reduced fuel consumption and engine-out raw emissions. However, because of the growing number of free parameters due to more flexible injection systems, variable valve trains, the application of different combustion concepts within different regions of the engine map, etc., the prediction of spray and m- ture formation becomes increasingly complex. For this reason, the optimization of the in-cylinder processes using 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) becomes increasingly important. In these CFD codes, the detailed modeling of spray and mixture formation is a prerequisite for the correct calculation of the subsequent processes like ignition, combustion and formation of emissions. Although such simulation tools can be viewed as standard tools today, the predictive quality of the sub-models is c- stantly enhanced by a more accurate and detailed modeling of the relevant pr- esses, and by the inclusion of new important mechanisms and effects that come along with the development of new injection systems and have not been cons- ered so far. In this book the most widely used mathematical models for the simulation of spray and mixture formation in 3D CFD calculations are described and discussed. In order to give the reader an introduction into the complex processes, the book starts with a description of the fundamental mechanisms and categories of fuel - jection, spray break-up, and mixture formation in internal combustion engines.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the development of mathematical programming researchers have paid great attention to problems that are described by a single objective that can only be achieved subject to satisfying a set of restrictions or constraints. Recently, it has been recognized that the use of a single objective limits the applicability of In reality, many multiobjective mathematical programming models. situations exist and frequently these mUltiple objectives are in direct conflict. Research on multiobjective problems can be broken down into two broad categories: multiobjective optimization and multicriterion decision theory. Multiobjective optimization models are based on techniques such as linear programming. In general, the multiobjective optimization problem can be defined as finding a feasible alternative that yields the most preferred set of values for the objective functions. This problem differs from a single objective because subjective methods are required to determine which alternative is most preferred. A body of literature parallel to that m multiobjective optimization has been developing in the area of multicriterion decision theory. These models are based on classical decision analysis, particularly utility theory. One focus of this research has been the development and testing of procedures for estimating multiattribute utility functions that are consistent with rational decision maker behavior. A utility function provides a model of a decision maker's choice among alternatives. This literature is directly xii MULTIOBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION applicable to multiobjective optimization and provides much needed insight into the subjective character of that problem.
