Diesel Engine Analytical Model (original) (raw)

Modelling diesel engines is an effective tool to help in developing and assessing intelligent transportation systems and technologies as well as to help in predicting aggregate vehicle fuel consumption and emissions. Although vehicle analytical models are the vehicle modelling type that describes the physical phenomena associated with vehicle operation comprehensively based on the principles of physics with explainable mathematical trends, no analytical model has been developed as yet of diesel powertrains. This research paper presents an analytical model of a four-cylinder supercharged diesel engine as the heart of the diesel powertrain. This model serves to accurately analyze with explainable mathematical trends the performance of the supercharged diesel engine with respect to both of the transient response and steady state response.
