This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The virtual development of future Spark Ignition (SI) engine combustion processes in three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (3D-CFD) demands for the integration of detailed chemistry, enabling - additionally to the 3D-CFD modelling of flow and mixture formation - the prediction of fuel-dependent SI engine combustion in all of its complexity. This work presents an approach, which constitutes a coupled solution for flame propagation, auto-ignition, and emission formation modelling incorporating detailed chemistry, while exhibiting low computational costs. For modelling the regular flame propagation, a laminar flamelet approach, the G-equation is used. Auto-ignition phenomena are addressed using an integrated flamelet approach, which bases on the tabulation of fuel-dependent reaction kinetics. By introducing a progress variable for the auto-ignition - the Ignition Progress Variable (IPV) - detailed chemistry is integrated in 3D-CFD. The modelling of emission formation bases on an interactively coupled flamelet approach, the Transient Interactive Flamelet (TIF) model. The functionality of the combined approach to model the variety of SI engine combustion phenomena is proved first in terms of fundamentals and standalone sub-model functionality studies by introducing a simplified test case, which represents an adiabatic pressure vessel without moving meshes. Following the basic functionality studies, the sub-model functionalities are investigated and validated in adequate engine test cases. It is shown, that the approach allows to detect locally occurring auto-ignition phenomena in the combustion chamber, and to model their interaction with regular flame propagation. Moreover, the approach enables the prediction of emission formation on cell level.

This book was released on 2023-02-22 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a step-by-step guide to the engine control system design, providing case studies and a thorough analysis of the modeling process using machine learning, and model predictive control (MPC). Covering advanced processes alongside the theoretical foundation, MPC enables engineers to improve performance in both hybrid and non-hybrid vehicles. Control system improvement is one of the major priorities for engineers seeking to enhance an engine. Often possible on a low budget, substantial improvements can be made by applying cutting-edge methods, such as artificial intelligence when modeling engine control system designs and using MPC. This book presents approaches to control system improvement at mid, low, and high levels of control. Beginning with the model-in-the-loop hierarchical control design of ported fuel injection SI engines, this book focuses on optimal control of both transient and steady state and also discusses hardware-in-the-loop. The chapter on low-level control discusses adaptive MPC and adaptive variable functioning, as well as designing a fuel injection feed-forward controller. At mid-level control, engine calibration maps are discussed, with consideration of constraints such as limits on pollutant emissions. Finally, the high-level control methodology is discussed in detail in relation to transient torque control of SI engines. This comprehensive yet clear guide to control system improvement is an essential read for any engineer working in automotive engineering and engine control system design.

This book was released on 2011-06-03 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various combinations of commercially available technologies could greatly reduce fuel consumption in passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles, minivans, and other light-duty vehicles without compromising vehicle performance or safety. Assessment of Technologies for Improving Light Duty Vehicle Fuel Economy estimates the potential fuel savings and costs to consumers of available technology combinations for three types of engines: spark-ignition gasoline, compression-ignition diesel, and hybrid. According to its estimates, adopting the full combination of improved technologies in medium and large cars and pickup trucks with spark-ignition engines could reduce fuel consumption by 29 percent at an additional cost of $2,200 to the consumer. Replacing spark-ignition engines with diesel engines and components would yield fuel savings of about 37 percent at an added cost of approximately $5,900 per vehicle, and replacing spark-ignition engines with hybrid engines and components would reduce fuel consumption by 43 percent at an increase of $6,000 per vehicle. The book focuses on fuel consumption-the amount of fuel consumed in a given driving distance-because energy savings are directly related to the amount of fuel used. In contrast, fuel economy measures how far a vehicle will travel with a gallon of fuel. Because fuel consumption data indicate money saved on fuel purchases and reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, the book finds that vehicle stickers should provide consumers with fuel consumption data in addition to fuel economy information.

This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Downsizing of modern gasoline engines with direct injection is a key concept for achieving future CO22 emission targets. However, high power densities and optimum efficiency are limited by an uncontrolled autoignition of the unburned air-fuel mixture, the so-called spark knock phenomena. By a combination of three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (3D-CFD) and experiments incorporating optical diagnostics, this work presents an integral approach for predicting combustion and autoignition in Spark Ignition (SI) engines. The turbulent premixed combustion and flame front propagation in 3D-CFD is modeled with the G-equation combustion model, i.e. a laminar flamelet approach, in combination with the level set method. Autoignition in the unburned gas zone is modeled with the Shell model based on reduced chemical reactions using optimized reaction rate coefficients for different octane numbers (ON) as well as engine relevant pressures, temperatures and EGR rates. The basic functionality and sensitivities of improved sub-models, e.g. laminar flame speed, are proven in simplified test cases followed by adequate engine test cases. It is shown that the G-equation combustion model performs well even on unstructured grids with polyhedral cells and coarse grid resolution. The validation of the knock model with respect to temporal and spatial knock onset is done with fiber optical spark plug measurements and statistical evaluation of individual knocking cycles with a frequency based pressure analysis. The results show a good correlation with the Shell autoignition relevant species in the simulation. The combined model approach with G-equation and Shell autoignition in an active formulation enables a realistic representation of thin flame fronts and hence the thermodynamic conditions prior to knocking by taking into account the ignition chemistry in unburned gas, temperature fluctuations and self-acceleration effects due to pre-reactions. By the modeling approach and simulation methodology presented in this work the overall predictive capability for the virtual development of future knockproof SI engines is improved.

Download or read book Reaction based Knock Predictive Modeling and Model based Stochastic Knock Limit Control of Spark ignition Engines written by Ruixue Li and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation studies the spark-ignition (SI) engine knock phenomenon, abnormal combustion due to the auto-ignition of end-gas ahead of the propagated flame front, resulting in the rapid chemical energy release with aggressive combustion, limiting the further improvement of thermal efficiency and even damaging the engine mechanically. A control-oriented combustion and pressure wave model with satisfactory accuracy and low computational effort is a necessity for the knock control strategy design. This dissertation develops a control-oriented knock predictive model that includes a two-zone reaction-based combustion model and a pressure wave model. This knock predictive model is capable of accurately describing the combustion process of a spark-ignited engine and predict the in-cylinder pressure oscillations under knocking combustion in real-time. Based on this model, a feedforward and feedback stochastic knock limit control strategy is developed to reduce the knock cyclic variability and control the knock mean-intensity below a desired up bound while keeping spark timing as close to engine maximum brake torque (MBT) timing as possible. A control-oriented two-zone reaction-based model to accurately describe the combustion process of a SI engine is first developed. Instead of using the conventional pre-determined Wiebe-based combustion model, a two-step chemical reaction model is utilized to predict the combustion process along with important thermodynamic parameters such as the mass-fraction-burned, in-cylinder pressure, temperatures and individual species mass changes in both zones. Sensitivities of model parameters are analyzed during the model calibration process. As a result, one set of calibration parameters are used to predict combustion characteristics over all engine operating conditions studied in this paper, which is the major advantage of the proposed method. Also, the proposed modeling approach is capable of modeling the combustion process for real-time simulations. As the by-product of the model, engine knock can also be predicted based on the Arrhenius integral in the unburned zone, which is valuable for model-based knock control. The proposed combustion model is intensively validated using the experimental data with a peak relative prediction error of 6.2% for the in-cylinder pressure. Based on this validated combustion model, a control-oriented pressure wave model for SI engines is further developed. This model is capable of predicting the in-cylinder pressure oscillations under knocking combustion in real-time and can be used for the model-based knock prediction and control. A pressure wave equation including the knock deadening behavior is proposed, simplified, and used to calculate the pressure perturbations generated by the knocking combustion. The boundary and initial conditions at knock onset are analyzed and the analytic solution of the pressure wave equation is obtained. The model is calibrated and validated over two different engine operating conditions at knock limit. The chemical kinetic-based Arrhenius integral (ARI) and the KI20 are used as the evaluation methods for knock onset and intensity prediction, and the knock frequency is studied with a fast Fourier transform of the filtered in-cylinder pressure oscillations. Especially, the knock characteristics associated with gas mixture properties at intake valve closing is analyzed based on the experimental data and their effect to knock cycle-to-cycle variation is also studied for the proposed model. In addition, this dissertation studies the correlation between in-cylinder mixture temperature at intake valve closing and the engine knock, along with knock cyclic variability based on the knock predictive model. A strong correlation between the intake temperature and knock intensity has been obtained and validated based on the simulation investigation and experiment data obtained at knock limit. Therefore, a model-based feedforward and feedback stochastic knock limit control strategy is developed to reduce the knock cycle-to-cycle variability and maintain the knock mean-intensity within a desired up bound by controlling the spark timing as close to MBT timing as possible. The control performance is validated with the simulation results to show the capability of the model-based feedforward and feedback stochastic knock limit control in significantly reducing the knock cyclic variability and improving the knock intensity distribution for the best fuel economy.

This book was released on 2018-12-28 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of 0D/1D knock models available today are known for their poor accuracy and the great effort needed for their calibration. Alexander Fandakov presents a novel, extensively validated phenomenological knock model for the development of future engine concepts within a 0D/1D simulation environment that has one engine-specific calibration parameter. Benchmarks against the models commonly used in the automotive industry reveal the huge gain in knock boundary prediction accuracy achieved with the approach proposed in this work. Thus, the new knock model contributes substantially to the efficient design of spark ignition engines employing technologies such as full-load exhaust gas recirculation, water injection, variable compression ratio or lean combustion. About the Author Alexander Fandakov holds a PhD in automotive powertrain engineering from the Institute of Internal Combustion Engines and Automotive Engineering (IVK) at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. Currently, he is working as an advanced powertrain development engineer in the automotive industry.

This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenon called the ''engine knock'' is an abnonnal combustion mode inspark ignition (SI) engines. it might lead to very high peak pressure in the cylinderand serious damages in engines. Knock limits the compression ratio of the ~ngine. The higher compression ratiomeans the higher fuel conversion efficiency of the engine. it also means highercylinder pressure and thereby higher gas temperature which can cause knock becauseof shorter ignition delay time. Increasing compression ratio is the simplest strategyfor increasing the efficiency of combustion, so a more detailed understanding of theprocesses goveming knock is important.it is generally accepted that knock is initiated by autoignition in the unbumed gasmixture as a result of compression due to the f1ame front propagation and the piston movement. Auto ignition can be defined as spontaneous ignition of some part of thecharge in the cylinder. The autoignition is may cause an extremely rapid chemicalenergy release. it causes a high local pressure and propagation of pressure waveswith high amplitude across the combustion chamber. The rapid rise in pressure andthe vibration of the resultant pressure wave across the combustion chamber cause erosion of the piston, piston rings and head gaskets. Known measures to avoid theoccurrence of engine knock cause either environmental problems, for example theusage of MTBE or reduce the engine thennal efficiency , for example lowcompression ratio, high swirl or early ignition timing. Because of this, the occurrenceof knock was subject of continuous public and industrial research.A detailed investigation of the combustion processes in intemal combustion engines is necessary for the improvement of engine technology .Chemical kinetic model ofthe combustion process implemented into the computational f1uid dynamic sapplications for the prediction of gas f1ow in the combustion chamber provides anefficient tool in tenns of time and cost for the investigation and improvement of the combustion process.The software tools for the modeling of combustion processes in combustion devicesrequire the reduction of the kinetic model to a limited number of species. Since the engine geometry is very complex, the performnnance of commercial software productsfor combustion device optimization decreases considerably if the number of species exceeds about 10. Consequently, a variety of methods in chemical kinetic modelingare needed to construct a reaction mechanism for a complex fuel such as PRF and toreduce it to a low number of capable species without a loss of information that mightbe important for the accuracy of the calculations. One method having the following steps is The generation of a ''detailed reaction mechanism'',The construction of the ''skeletal mechanism'',The final reduction of the reaction mechanism using Quasi Steady State Approximations (QSSA).This study concentrates on the construction of the problem oriented reduced mechanism. A method for automatic reduction of detailed kinetic to reduced mechanisms for complex fuels is proposed. The method is based on the simultaneoususe of sensitivity, reaction-f1ow and lifetime analyses. The sensitivity analysis detects species that the overall combustion process is sensitive on. Small in accuracies, in calculating these species, result in large errors in the characteristic behavior of the chernical scheme. Species, not relevant for the occurrence of autoignition in the end-gas, are defined as redundant. The automatic detection of there dundant species is done by means of an analysis of the reaction f1ows from and towards the most sensitive species, the fuel, the oxidizer and the final products. Theyare identified and eliminated for different pre-set levels of minimum reaction flow and sensitivity to generate a skeletal mechanism. The resulting skeletal mechanism is investigated with lifetime analysis to get the final reduced mechanism. A measure ofspecies lifetimes is taken from the diagonal elements of the Jacobian matrix of the chernical source terms. The species with the lifetime shorter than and mass-fractionIess than specified limits are assumed to be in steady state and selected for removalfrom the skeletal mechanism. The reduced mechanism is valid for the parameter range of initial and boundary values that the analysis has been performed for.The proposed reduction method is exemplified on a detailed reaction mechanism foriso-octane/n-heptane rnixtures. The gas-phase chernistry is analyzed in the end gas of an SI engine, using a two-zone model with conditions chosen relevant for engine knock. Comparing results obtained from the skeletal and the reduced mechanism swith results from the detailed mechanism shows the accuracy of the resulting mechanisms. it is shown that the error in the mechanisms increase with increasingpre-set Ievels of reduction. This is visualized by the help of the predicted crank angle degree at which auto ignition in the end gas of the engine occurs.The reduced mechanism is used for investigation of the modeling of the auto ignitionin the SI engines. The effects of engine operator parameters such as compression ratio, spark advance, fuel equivalence ratio and engine speed on autoignition onsettime have been studied.This work shows that it is possible to achieve a simplified reaction mechanism withgood agreement to the original mechanism by the reduction method. Fundamental knowledge about the detailed mechanism is not necessary to apply the method. Theprocedure used for reduction is fully automatic and provides a fast technique togenerate the problem oriented reduced mechanisms.
