Combustion Modeling of a Two Cylinder Cycle Reciprocating Engine.

Abstract

A simple mathematical model was developed to simulate the closed portion of the cycle for a quiescent chamber compression ignition engine using the assumption of perfect gases and the first law of thermodynamics. Various input parameters were used in trend analysis to check the model. The output from the computer program was compared to test data from a four inch bore, open chamber semi quiescent diesel engine run at the Sloan Test Laboratory. This computer model was then modified to simulate the expansion stroke of a newly developed, two cylinder cycle reciprocating engine. The model was then run to determine the optimum point of fuel injection for the new engine.
