CI Engine Modelling

You will do the following in this project : 

  • Choose a predictive CI Engine Model and calibrate it for a trade-off between fuel consumption and emission.
  • Tune the appropriate engine performance variables in different subsystems.
  • Set up two different case setups for applications with/without an external EGR assembly and run it for rated and intermediate speeds.
  • Post process the results in GT-POST to analyse the different engine operating variables.

  • 1-D model selection
  • Setting up computational models
  • Engine performance tuning
  • Post-processing in GT-POST

Thermodynamic analysis of a tractor engine

In this project, you will be setting up the case for a tractor engine by calibrating the computational models such as Heat transfer - WoschniGT , Combustion - DI Pulse , Emissions - NOx - Zeldovich / Extended Zeldovich models etc. You will also be learning other systems such as the injectors and turbochargers with and without an external high pressure EGR circuit to perform thermodynamic studies on important engine operating variables to draw out the trade-offs between Fuel consumption and Emission characteristics. 

  • Setting up the 1-D Modelling Interface
  • Calibration of parameters for diesel engine technology
  • Setting up case for applications with and without an EGR assembly
  • Post processing and Inference of simulation results
