Abstract

An accurate model for the heat release rate in a modern direct injection (DI) diesel engine is newly evolved from the known mixing controlled combustion model. The combustion rate could be precisely described by relating the mixing rate to the turbulent energy created at the exit of the nozzle as a function of the injection velocity and by considering the dissipation of energy in free air and along the wall. The complete absence of tuning constants distinguishes the model from the other zero-dimensional or pseudomultidimensional models, at the same time retaining the simplicity. Successful prediction of the history of heat release in engines widely varying in bores, rated speeds and types of aspirations, at all operating conditions, validated the model.
