Verification of a 2–Phase, Zero-Dimensional Model of a Multifuel Compression-Ignition Engine in Single Fuel Operation

Abstract:

Improving the efficiency or work and reducing the emissions of toxic substances into the atmosphere are the two key directions of development of modern combustion engines. Improvement of engine efficiency is feasible only by increasing the precision of control thereof, which necessitates long-term operating tests. Regrettably, due to complexity of processes taking place during the combustion of fuel, these phenomena can only be tested on simulation models, based on a mathematical description of the phenomena.This paper presents the results of verification tests of the developed fuel combustion model in a multifuel compression-ignition engine for an engine running only on diesel fuel.
