1 Introduction

The modeling of internal combustion engines has beenlargely developed during past years For this purpose amultitude of industrial codes dedicated to the simulation ofthe engines is available on market (GT-Power Diesel-RKRicardo-Wave Fluent etc) These codes despite the factthat they can be useful for predicting engine performancesare expensive for third worldrsquos university laboratory andtheir source codes are practically impossible to modify toimplement new model or functions

When modeling compression engine differentapproaches can be used with different level of complexitysuch as thermodynamic 0D models quasi-dimensionalmultizone models and computational fluid dynamics (CFD)models [1 2]

For this study a quasi-dimensional approachwas selectedthese models allows to compute efficient economic and

fast calculations of engine performances as a function ofdifferent engine parameters Using these types of models wecan compute the different stages of a diesel engine cycle as incompression injection ignition delay and combustion andexhaust stage

The evaluated models in this study will be evaluated interms of accuracy and speed of calculation

model is a simple sequence of calculated parameters and isstructured as follows

First the average outflow velocity of fuel from the injectoris calculated in ms by

where 119902119888is the cyclic fuel supply in Kgcycle RPM is the

crankshaft rotational speed in rpm 120588119891is the density of the

fuel in kgm3 119889119888is the diameter of the injector hole in mm

120593inj is the duration of injection in degree of rotation of thecrankshaft

The criterion119872 characterizing the relationship betweenthe surface tension force inertia and viscosity is calculatedas follows

119872 =

1205832

119891

(119889119888120588119891120590119891)

where 120583119891is the coefficient of dynamic viscosity of the fuel at

a temperature of 323K in Pasdots 120590119891is the coefficient of surface

tension of the fuel at a temperature of 323K in NmWeber number characterizing the relationship between

surface tension force and inertia is determined as

The density of the charge at the end of the compressionbefore the TDC is calculated as follows

120588air =120583air119872]

119881119888

(4)

where 120583air = 289KgKmole is the molecular mass of air 120588airis the density of air

We then determine the fuelair density ratio by

120588 =120588air120588119891

(5)

Finally the Sauter mean diameter of the atomized fuel iscalculated in micron by

11988932=1061198643211988911988811987200733

(120588119882119890)0266

(6)

where 11986432is an empirical factor depending on designs of the

injector whose recommended value is 17At this point the finesse of the pulverized fuel is deter-

mined and we can see it mainly depends on physical prop-erties of the fuel such as viscosity and density The next stepof the model is to determine the kinetic of combustion of theatomized fuel whose kinetic will be dependent of the earlierfound Sauter mean diameter

22 Model of the Kinetic of Combustion of the Atomized FuelThis part of the elaborated model will permit us to determineparameters of the process such as the evaporation rate ofthe atomized fuel its ignition delay and the duration ofcombustion

Pressure in the cylinder at the end of the compressionbefore the TDC is

119875119888= 1198750120576137 (7)

where 1198750is the reference pressure which in our case corre-

sponds to the inlet manifold pressureWe then determine the theoretical constant of evapora-

tion of the fuel by

119887it =119870

1198892

(8)

where 119870 = 1119875119888sdot 106 is the evaporation constant related to

cylinder pressure in m2s

120591119890V =

119860119911

(119887it12058206)

(9)

where 119860119911is a constant characterizing the duration of evap-

oration of large drops in diesel engine in 1s and its valueis given as 24 in [3] but Kuleshov [5] used it as weightcoefficient that can be varied in order to match experimentaldata 120582 is the coefficient of excess air

The full duration of combustion is then calculated as

120601119911= 120601inj minus ID + 6RPM120591

119890V (10)

with ID being the ignition delay computed using the formulaof Hardenberg and Hase [6] in both models

The value of the apparent activation energy 119864119886in this

correlation is given by 119864119886= 618840(119862119873+25) however this

valuewas computed for the particular experiment reported in[6] and needs to be corrected in order to be used for differentexperimental conditions In order to match experimentalignition delay values especially for biodiesel fuel themethodproposed by Aghav et al [7] where the value 618840 can bevaried from the initial 618840 to higher values was used

the constants 119860 119861 119862119863 and 119864 given in Table 1

We find ourselves with a set of 11 nonlinear equationswith 11 unknowns which are solved using Newton Raphsoniteration A detailed description of the resolution algorithmcan be found in [13] The method was implemented usinga modified Matlab script provided by [16] to insert newsubroutines of the fuel injection andpulverization parametersas well as the biodiesel constant and the double Wiebefunction of heat release rate

4 Results and Discussion

For validation purposes the two models were implementedand comparedwith experimental results from [17] the enginecharacteristics are given inTable 2where fuel injection timingrefers to the actual crankshaft angle at which fuel startscoming out of the nozzle Two sets of calculation wereperformed one for diesel fuel and the second for biodieselfuelThe characteristics of diesel and biodiesel fuel were takenfrom [17 18] for method 1 To simulate biodiesel combustionfor method 2 we usedmethyl butanoate thermodynamic dataas surrogate [14]

The experimental imep (indicative mean effective pres-sure)was not given in the experimental work reported by [17]it was therefore evaluated using the experimental pressure

Simulations were computed at rated engine speed and thepressure plot was made and compared with the experimentalresults (Figures 1 2 3 and 4) Both models evaluated thecombustion duration at 72 CAD and 87 CAD respectivelyfor diesel and biodiesel fuel This can be explained by the factthe viscosity and density of biodiesel are significantly higherthan that of conventional diesel which tends to generatepulverized droplets with higher mean diameter that tend toburn slower

The pressure traces obtained from the two model showthat they reproduce well the in cylinder pressure for bothtype of fuels in the given engine configuration It can beseen that the maximum pressure decreases when biodieselfuel is used for the two simulations which is equally the

of the accuracy of both model the mean relative error wascalculated according to the four parameters given above itwas then observed that the first model gave a mean relativeerror of 18 while the second one had given a mean relativeerror of 11

5 Computation Speed

Another assessment made for the two models was thespeed of computation the first model was computed in 6

seconds while the second took about 40 to 45 second to runcompletely on 2Ghz dual core Pentium personal computer

With this assessment we can say that the firstmodel couldbe suitable for real time engine control while the second couldbe used for enginersquos design and also emission evaluation sinceit computes in cylinder pressure by determining combustionspecies states at each time step Another development thatcould be made for the second model can be the implemen-tation of the Zeldovich mechanism [1 11] to compute nitricoxide emissions

6 Conclusion

The aim of the present study was to develop and implementtwo different models for diesel engine fuelled on biodieselbased on tabulated chemistry The two models showedgood predictability of engine performance with the secondapproach giving a better accuracy The first approach wasfaster to compute the cylinder pressure than the second andwas found more suitable for engine monitoring and controlwhile the second one was found better suited for enginedesign and emission prediction

fuel in kgm3 119889119888is the diameter of the injector hole in mm

120593inj is the duration of injection in degree of rotation of thecrankshaft

119881119888

where 120583air = 289KgKmole is the molecular mass of air 120588airis the density of air

We then determine the fuelair density ratio by

Finally the Sauter mean diameter of the atomized fuel iscalculated in micron by

where 11986432is an empirical factor depending on designs of the

injector whose recommended value is 17At this point the finesse of the pulverized fuel is deter-

mined and we can see it mainly depends on physical prop-erties of the fuel such as viscosity and density The next stepof the model is to determine the kinetic of combustion of theatomized fuel whose kinetic will be dependent of the earlierfound Sauter mean diameter

22 Model of the Kinetic of Combustion of the Atomized FuelThis part of the elaborated model will permit us to determineparameters of the process such as the evaporation rate ofthe atomized fuel its ignition delay and the duration ofcombustion

where 1198750is the reference pressure which in our case corre-

We find ourselves with a set of 11 nonlinear equationswith 11 unknowns which are solved using Newton Raphsoniteration A detailed description of the resolution algorithmcan be found in [13] The method was implemented usinga modified Matlab script provided by [16] to insert newsubroutines of the fuel injection andpulverization parametersas well as the biodiesel constant and the double Wiebefunction of heat release rate

4 Results and Discussion

For validation purposes the two models were implementedand comparedwith experimental results from [17] the enginecharacteristics are given inTable 2where fuel injection timingrefers to the actual crankshaft angle at which fuel startscoming out of the nozzle Two sets of calculation wereperformed one for diesel fuel and the second for biodieselfuelThe characteristics of diesel and biodiesel fuel were takenfrom [17 18] for method 1 To simulate biodiesel combustionfor method 2 we usedmethyl butanoate thermodynamic dataas surrogate [14]

The experimental imep (indicative mean effective pres-sure)was not given in the experimental work reported by [17]it was therefore evaluated using the experimental pressure

Simulations were computed at rated engine speed and thepressure plot was made and compared with the experimentalresults (Figures 1 2 3 and 4) Both models evaluated thecombustion duration at 72 CAD and 87 CAD respectivelyfor diesel and biodiesel fuel This can be explained by the factthe viscosity and density of biodiesel are significantly higherthan that of conventional diesel which tends to generatepulverized droplets with higher mean diameter that tend toburn slower

The pressure traces obtained from the two model showthat they reproduce well the in cylinder pressure for bothtype of fuels in the given engine configuration It can beseen that the maximum pressure decreases when biodieselfuel is used for the two simulations which is equally the

trend observed experimentally and in other works such as[19ndash22] This was expected since biodiesel fuel has higheroxygen content the combustion coefficient tends to be higherin that case Another trend observed in the pressure trace isthat the cylinder pressure tends to be under predicted duringthe exhaust phase especially for biodiesel fuel this could beexplained by the experimental conditions uncertainty

of the accuracy of both model the mean relative error wascalculated according to the four parameters given above itwas then observed that the first model gave a mean relativeerror of 18 while the second one had given a mean relativeerror of 11

5 Computation Speed

Another assessment made for the two models was thespeed of computation the first model was computed in 6

seconds while the second took about 40 to 45 second to runcompletely on 2Ghz dual core Pentium personal computer

With this assessment we can say that the firstmodel couldbe suitable for real time engine control while the second couldbe used for enginersquos design and also emission evaluation sinceit computes in cylinder pressure by determining combustionspecies states at each time step Another development thatcould be made for the second model can be the implemen-tation of the Zeldovich mechanism [1 11] to compute nitricoxide emissions

6 Conclusion

The aim of the present study was to develop and implementtwo different models for diesel engine fuelled on biodieselbased on tabulated chemistry The two models showedgood predictability of engine performance with the secondapproach giving a better accuracy The first approach wasfaster to compute the cylinder pressure than the second andwas found more suitable for engine monitoring and controlwhile the second one was found better suited for enginedesign and emission prediction

We find ourselves with a set of 11 nonlinear equationswith 11 unknowns which are solved using Newton Raphsoniteration A detailed description of the resolution algorithmcan be found in [13] The method was implemented usinga modified Matlab script provided by [16] to insert newsubroutines of the fuel injection andpulverization parametersas well as the biodiesel constant and the double Wiebefunction of heat release rate

4 Results and Discussion

For validation purposes the two models were implementedand comparedwith experimental results from [17] the enginecharacteristics are given inTable 2where fuel injection timingrefers to the actual crankshaft angle at which fuel startscoming out of the nozzle Two sets of calculation wereperformed one for diesel fuel and the second for biodieselfuelThe characteristics of diesel and biodiesel fuel were takenfrom [17 18] for method 1 To simulate biodiesel combustionfor method 2 we usedmethyl butanoate thermodynamic dataas surrogate [14]

The experimental imep (indicative mean effective pres-sure)was not given in the experimental work reported by [17]it was therefore evaluated using the experimental pressure

Simulations were computed at rated engine speed and thepressure plot was made and compared with the experimentalresults (Figures 1 2 3 and 4) Both models evaluated thecombustion duration at 72 CAD and 87 CAD respectivelyfor diesel and biodiesel fuel This can be explained by the factthe viscosity and density of biodiesel are significantly higherthan that of conventional diesel which tends to generatepulverized droplets with higher mean diameter that tend toburn slower

The pressure traces obtained from the two model showthat they reproduce well the in cylinder pressure for bothtype of fuels in the given engine configuration It can beseen that the maximum pressure decreases when biodieselfuel is used for the two simulations which is equally the

trend observed experimentally and in other works such as[19ndash22] This was expected since biodiesel fuel has higheroxygen content the combustion coefficient tends to be higherin that case Another trend observed in the pressure trace isthat the cylinder pressure tends to be under predicted duringthe exhaust phase especially for biodiesel fuel this could beexplained by the experimental conditions uncertainty

of the accuracy of both model the mean relative error wascalculated according to the four parameters given above itwas then observed that the first model gave a mean relativeerror of 18 while the second one had given a mean relativeerror of 11

5 Computation Speed

Another assessment made for the two models was thespeed of computation the first model was computed in 6

seconds while the second took about 40 to 45 second to runcompletely on 2Ghz dual core Pentium personal computer

With this assessment we can say that the firstmodel couldbe suitable for real time engine control while the second couldbe used for enginersquos design and also emission evaluation sinceit computes in cylinder pressure by determining combustionspecies states at each time step Another development thatcould be made for the second model can be the implemen-tation of the Zeldovich mechanism [1 11] to compute nitricoxide emissions

6 Conclusion

The aim of the present study was to develop and implementtwo different models for diesel engine fuelled on biodieselbased on tabulated chemistry The two models showedgood predictability of engine performance with the secondapproach giving a better accuracy The first approach wasfaster to compute the cylinder pressure than the second andwas found more suitable for engine monitoring and controlwhile the second one was found better suited for enginedesign and emission prediction

the constants 119860 119861 119862119863 and 119864 given in Table 1

We find ourselves with a set of 11 nonlinear equationswith 11 unknowns which are solved using Newton Raphsoniteration A detailed description of the resolution algorithmcan be found in [13] The method was implemented usinga modified Matlab script provided by [16] to insert newsubroutines of the fuel injection andpulverization parametersas well as the biodiesel constant and the double Wiebefunction of heat release rate

4 Results and Discussion

For validation purposes the two models were implementedand comparedwith experimental results from [17] the enginecharacteristics are given inTable 2where fuel injection timingrefers to the actual crankshaft angle at which fuel startscoming out of the nozzle Two sets of calculation wereperformed one for diesel fuel and the second for biodieselfuelThe characteristics of diesel and biodiesel fuel were takenfrom [17 18] for method 1 To simulate biodiesel combustionfor method 2 we usedmethyl butanoate thermodynamic dataas surrogate [14]

The experimental imep (indicative mean effective pres-sure)was not given in the experimental work reported by [17]it was therefore evaluated using the experimental pressure

Simulations were computed at rated engine speed and thepressure plot was made and compared with the experimentalresults (Figures 1 2 3 and 4) Both models evaluated thecombustion duration at 72 CAD and 87 CAD respectivelyfor diesel and biodiesel fuel This can be explained by the factthe viscosity and density of biodiesel are significantly higherthan that of conventional diesel which tends to generatepulverized droplets with higher mean diameter that tend toburn slower

The pressure traces obtained from the two model showthat they reproduce well the in cylinder pressure for bothtype of fuels in the given engine configuration It can beseen that the maximum pressure decreases when biodieselfuel is used for the two simulations which is equally the

trend observed experimentally and in other works such as[19ndash22] This was expected since biodiesel fuel has higheroxygen content the combustion coefficient tends to be higherin that case Another trend observed in the pressure trace isthat the cylinder pressure tends to be under predicted duringthe exhaust phase especially for biodiesel fuel this could beexplained by the experimental conditions uncertainty

of the accuracy of both model the mean relative error wascalculated according to the four parameters given above itwas then observed that the first model gave a mean relativeerror of 18 while the second one had given a mean relativeerror of 11

5 Computation Speed

Another assessment made for the two models was thespeed of computation the first model was computed in 6

seconds while the second took about 40 to 45 second to runcompletely on 2Ghz dual core Pentium personal computer

With this assessment we can say that the firstmodel couldbe suitable for real time engine control while the second couldbe used for enginersquos design and also emission evaluation sinceit computes in cylinder pressure by determining combustionspecies states at each time step Another development thatcould be made for the second model can be the implemen-tation of the Zeldovich mechanism [1 11] to compute nitricoxide emissions

6 Conclusion

The aim of the present study was to develop and implementtwo different models for diesel engine fuelled on biodieselbased on tabulated chemistry The two models showedgood predictability of engine performance with the secondapproach giving a better accuracy The first approach wasfaster to compute the cylinder pressure than the second andwas found more suitable for engine monitoring and controlwhile the second one was found better suited for enginedesign and emission prediction

of the accuracy of both model the mean relative error wascalculated according to the four parameters given above itwas then observed that the first model gave a mean relativeerror of 18 while the second one had given a mean relativeerror of 11

5 Computation Speed

Another assessment made for the two models was thespeed of computation the first model was computed in 6

seconds while the second took about 40 to 45 second to runcompletely on 2Ghz dual core Pentium personal computer

With this assessment we can say that the firstmodel couldbe suitable for real time engine control while the second couldbe used for enginersquos design and also emission evaluation sinceit computes in cylinder pressure by determining combustionspecies states at each time step Another development thatcould be made for the second model can be the implemen-tation of the Zeldovich mechanism [1 11] to compute nitricoxide emissions

6 Conclusion

The aim of the present study was to develop and implementtwo different models for diesel engine fuelled on biodieselbased on tabulated chemistry The two models showedgood predictability of engine performance with the secondapproach giving a better accuracy The first approach wasfaster to compute the cylinder pressure than the second andwas found more suitable for engine monitoring and controlwhile the second one was found better suited for enginedesign and emission prediction
