5.2 IDEAL MODELS (วัฎจักรอุดมคต)ิ

We consider a set of models which provide useful insights into performance and efficiency of engines. Each cycle describes the approximation made for the engine combustion process.

With models for each of these processes, a simulation of a complete engine cycle can be built up which can be analyzed to provide information on engine performance. Each cycle discussed in this chapter is a consecutive sequence of process through which we can follow the state of the working fluid as the engine executes a complete operating cycle

5.3 THERMODYNAMIC RELATIONS

Thermodynamic relations are very useful from which important operating parameters and properties (T, p, u, v, h) of working fluid can be calculated. The overalloperating parameters of greatest interest which can be determined from a thermodynamic analysis of the engine operating cycle are:

When the exhaust valve opens at point 4, cylinder pressure isabove the exhaust manifold pressure and a blowdown processoccurs. In the ideal exhaust process model, this blowdownoccurs with piston stationary at BC. During this blowdownprocess, the gas which remains inside cylinder expandsisentropically, and escapes from the cylinder. The residual mass

fraction at point 6 is given by

which is the residual gas at state 6.

The mixture temperature at the end of the intake stroke and at the start of the compression stroke (point 1) can be determined using the first Law of the open system

5.4 Cycle analysis with constant ideal gas working fluid

- Working fluid in these ideal cycles is assumed to be an ideal gas.

- Cp and Cv are constant throughout the engine operating cycle.

EXAMPLE 5.1 Many diesel engine can be approximated by a limited-pressure cycle. In a limited-pressure cycle, a fraction of the fuel is burnt at constant volume and the remaining fuel is burnt at constant pressure. Use this cycle approximation with = cp/cv = 1.3 to analyze the following problem:

Inlet conditions: p1= 1.0 bar, T1= 289 KCompression ratio: 15:1Heat added during combustion: 43,000 kJ/kg of fuelOverall fuel/air ratio: 0.045 kg fuel/kg air

Half of the fuel/air ratio is burnt at constant volume, then half at constant pressure.

Asked: draw a p-V diagram and compute the fuel conversion efficiency of the cycle.

Heat added during combustion

From the fuel/air ratio =

So heat added due to combustion

Half of the total heat is burnt at constant volume and atconstant pressure = 1852/2 = 926 kJ/kg mixture
