Guided industry project

Aftertreatment Modelling for Diesel and Gasoline Engines

In this project you will be calibrating a detailed compression ignition & spark ignition + explicit engine model by observing the effects of engine operating parameters on emissions and the conversion efficiencies of catalysts, such as TWC [Three Way Cat Conn] and DOC-DPF-SCR with urea injector, on different pollutants.

Aftertreatment Modelling for Diesel and Gasoline Engines

What will you do in this project?

You will do the following in this project :

  • Choose a Non-predictive explicit engine model with an EATS attached to it.
  • Tuning the appropriate geometrical catalyst calibration parameters in different subsystems such as TWC for Gasoline & DOC-DPF-SCR for Diesel.
  • Set up two different case setups for applications with/without an external EGR assembly and run it for rated and intermediate speeds and observe the performance vs emission trade-off.
  • Post process the results in GT-POST to analyse the different effect of engine operating variables on emissions.

Benefits of this Project

In this project you will be calibrating a detailed compression ignition & spark ignition + explicit engine model by observing the effects of engine operating parameters on emissions and the conversion efficiencies of catalysts, such as TWC [Three Way Cat Conn] and DOC-DPF-SCR with urea injector, on different pollutants.

Project difficulty - Intermediate

  • This project is great for undergraduate students (4th year), M.Tech or MS students.
  • If you are a working professional, this project will be helpful for you to learn After-treatment calibration technologies for the stringent emission norms [BS IV/BS VI] in the industry.

Pre-requisites

  • Need basic background on IC Engine Fundamentals and Reaction Chemistry/Kinetics.
  • Need basic background in CFD and flow phenomenon.

Work with Multiple Tools

  • Working on GT-POWER for 1-D thermodynamic simulations.
  • Post process the results using GT-POST.
  • Use of MS - WORD or GOOGLE DOC to create a report.
