PERFORMANCE CALCULATION OF A SPARK IGNITON ENGINE ACCORDING TO THE IDEAL AIR-FUEL CYCLE ANALYSIS
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Depending on the development in computer technologies by using theoretical models in the design of internal combustion engines, the effects of different operating and design parameters on engine performance and performance characteristics of a real engine can be estimated with shorter time and lower cost. In this study, a mathematical simulation model is developed to investigate ideal air-fuel cycle analysis of a single cylinder, four-stroke and natural aspirated spark ignition engine. Obtained the variations of cylinder temperature and pressure with crankshaft angle (CA) depending on different compression ratio, engine speed and air excess coefficient (AEC), engine performance parameters such as indicated mean effective pressure, fuel and air consumptions, indicated power, thermal efficiency were calculated using computer program written in FORTRAN. Iso- Octane (C8H18) is used as a fuel in the numerical calculation method, and calculation of internal energy and specific heats belong to C8H18 and species and calculation of considered two basic dissociation equilibrium constants were determined as the empiric functions of temperature. It is assumed that combustion and exhaust processes are done at constant volume and compression, combustion and expansion processes are adiabatic. With these results, it is believed that the mathematical model can be used for determination of engine performance characteristics as an appropriate method in internal combustion engines.
