Diesel engine transient operation: principles of operation and simulation analysis

Traditionally, the study of internal combustion engines has focused on the steady-state performance. However, the daily driving schedule of automotive and truck engines is inherently related to unsteady operation, whereas the most critical conditions encountered by industrial or marine engines are met during transients. Unfortunately, the transient operation of turbocharged diesel engines has been associated with poor driveability, as well as overshoot in particulate and gaseous emissions, making the study and modeling of transient engine operation an important scientific objective. Diesel Engine Transient Operationprovides an in-depth discussion of all the complex thermodynamic and dynamic phenomena that are experienced by a diesel engine during load increase, acceleration, cold starting or Transient Cycle. Beginning with the fundamental and most influential turbocharger lag problem, the analysis covers a range of topics, including heat transfer, combustion, air-supply and friction. Presents the most important findings in the field of Compression Ignition (Diesel) engine simulation from the past 30 years INDICE: Transient Operation Fundamentals.- Thermodynamic Aspects of Transient Operation.- Dynamics.- Experimental Measurements.- Emissions.- Methods of Improving Transient Response.- Special Cases of Transient Operation.- Second Law Analysis.- Modeling.- Exhaust Emission Regulations and Transient Cycles.
