This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international marine shipping industry is responsible for the transport of around 90% of the total world trade. Low-speed two-stroke diesel engines usually propel the largest trading ships. This engine type choice is mainly motivated by its high fuel efficiency and the capacity to burn cheap low-quality fuels. To reduce the marine freight impact on the environment, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has introduced stricter limits on the engine pollutant emissions. One of these new restrictions, named Tier III, sets the maximum NOx emissions permitted. New emission reduction technologies have to be developed to fulfill the Tier III limits on two-stroke engines since adjusting the engine combustion alone is not sufficient. There are several promising technologies to achieve the required NOx reductions, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) is one of them. For automotive applications, EGR is a mature technology, and many of the research findings can be used directly in marine applications. However, there are some differences in marine two-stroke engines, which require further development to apply and control EGR. The number of available engines for testing EGR controllers on ships and test beds is low due to the recent introduction of EGR. Hence, engine simulation models are a good alternative for developing controllers, and many different engine loading scenarios can be simulated without the high costs of running real engine tests. The primary focus of this thesis is the development and validation of models for two-stroke marine engines with EGR. The modeling follows a Mean Value Engine Model (MVEM) approach, which has a low computational complexity and permits faster than real-time simulations suitable for controller testing. A parameterization process that deals with the low measurement data availability, compared to the available data on automotive engines, is also investigated and described. As a result, the proposed model is parameterized to two different two-stroke engines showing a good agreement with the measurements in both stationary and dynamic conditions. Several engine components have been developed. One of these is a new analytic in-cylinder pressure model that captures the influence of the injection and exhaust valve timings without increasing the simulation time. A new compressor model that can extrapolate to low speeds and pressure ratios in a physically sound way is also described. This compressor model is a requirement to be able to simulate low engine loads. Moreover, a novel parameterization algorithm is shown to handle well the model nonlinearities and to obtain a good model agreement with a large number of tested compressor maps. Furthermore, the engine model is complemented with dynamic models for ship and propeller to be able to simulate transient sailing scenarios, where good EGR controller performance is crucial. The model is used to identify the low load area as the most challenging for the controller performance, due to the slower engine air path dynamics. Further low load simulations indicate that sensor bias can be problematic and lead to an undesired black smoke formation, while errors in the parameters of the controller flow estimators are not as critical. This result is valuable because for a newly built engine a proper sensor setup is more straightforward to verify than to get the right parameters for the flow estimators.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this project different methods to model two-stroke diesel engines have been investigated. The goal of the project is to obtain a model capable to capture both the steady states and the transients of the engine system. The interest MAN Diesel&Turbo has in this model is to obtain a reliable simulation platform to be used as a tool to evaluate the performance of new control systems for the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system. A non-linear model of the engine air-path with EGR is derived and validated against measurements. The specific engine corresponds to a 4T50ME-X located at MAN Diesel&Turbo research center. The model consists of the following components: the turbocharger, the scavenging and exhaust manifolds, the cylinders and the EGR system. The turbocharger model is externalized to an advance simulator software (GT-Power), all other components are modeled in Simulink. A Seiliger cycle capable of handling variable exhaust valve opening and closing is proposed. The polytropic coefficients for the compression and expansion are analytically estimated from in-cylinder pressure measurements. The model derived in this project is capable to fit well the measured data in steady states. The appropriate dynamics are obtained in transient operations, although the model shows a generalized faster response than the measured data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the author's research aspects, the intelligent optimization algorithm and advanced control methods of the diesel engine's air path have been proposed in this work. In addition, the simulation platform and the HIL test platform are established for research activities on engine optimization and control. In this thesis, it presents an intelligent transient calibration method using the chaos-enhanced accelerated particle swarm optimization (CAPSO) algorithm. It is a model-based optimization approach. The test results show that the proposed method could locate the global optimal results of the controller parameters within good speed under various working conditions. The engine dynamic response is improved and a measurable drop of engine fuel consumption is acquired. The model predictive control (MPC) is selected for the controllers of DLEGR and VGT in the air-path of a diesel engine. Two MPC-based controllers are developed in this work, they are categorized into linear MPC and nonlinear MPC. Compared with conventional PIO controller, the MPC-based controllers show better reference trajectory tracking performance. Besides, an improvement of the engine fuel economy is obtained. The HIL test indicates the two controllers could be implemented on the real engine.

Download or read book Modelling Diesel Combustion written by P. A. Lakshminarayanan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-21 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively discusses diesel combustion phenomena like ignition delay, fuel-air mixing, rate of heat release, and emissions of smoke, particulate and nitric oxide. It enables quantitative evaluation of these important phenomena and parameters. Most importantly, it attempts to model them with constants that are independent of engine types and hence they could be applied by the engineers and researchers for a general engine. This book emphasizes the importance of the spray at the wall in precisely describing the heat release and emissions for most of the engines on and off-road. It gives models for heat release and emissions. Every model is thoroughly validated by detailed experiments using a broad range of engines. The book describes an elegant quasi-one-dimensional model for heat release in diesel engines with single as well as multiple injections. The book describes how the two aspects, namely, fuel injection rate and the diameter of the combustion bowl in the piston, have enabled meeting advanced emission, noise, and performance standards. The book also discusses the topics of computational fluid dynamics encompassing RANS and LES models of turbulence. Given the contents, this book will be useful for students, researchers and professionals working in the area of vehicle engineering and engine technology. This book will also be a good professional book for practising engineers in the field of combustion engines and automotive engineering.

Download or read book SIMULATION STUDY ON EFFECT OF GAS CHARGING AND EGR IN A DUAL FUEL ENGINE written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : Natural gas combined with diesel as micro pilot has the capabilities of achieving lower NOx and soot emissions. Optimization of the combustion process in engines with natural gas and diesel micro-pilot is essential to achieve higher efficiencies and loads. Gas charging (intake air boosting) and EGR are two technologies which when implemented in the natural gas-diesel engines, provide the opportunity to achieve higher efficiencies and loads and low emissions. Simulation study is one of the approaches to investigate the extent and effects of gas charging and EGR on the performance of the engine. With the rapid improvements over the past decade in the field of engine simulation and modeling, it has become an efficient, economical and reliable approach. GT-Suite, one of the widely-used Vehicle and Engine Simulation tools in the industries, provides the capabilities to calculate the combustion rate in Internal combustion engines for conventional as well as dual-fuel engines. Current research work uses GT-Suite software to study the effect of gas charging and EGR on a Cummins 2010 ISB 6.7 L engine in dual-fuel mode. One-dimensional simulation model for a Cummins 2010 ISB 6.7 L engine is developed by acquisition of dimensions from the engine. The simulation model is calibrated with the experimental data available from the diesel engine. The calibrated model is then developed into a dual-fuel model which is used to study the effect of EGR for diesel energy contribution percentages of 1,3, 5 and 10 and injection pressures of 300,600 and 1000 bar at diesel injection timings of 0° and 10° bTDC and a boost pressure of 2.5 bar. EGR levels were varied from 0-18%. Based on the simulation results for the test conditions, cases for lowest BMEP at 0° bTDC and 10° bTDC were selected and a boost pressure sweep was performed from 2.5 bar to 3 bar to study the effect of gas charging. The simulation results proved that the target BMEP of 25 bar and fuel conversion efficiency of up to 41% could be achieved in dual fuel mode for the Cummins 6.7L engine.
