| Abstract | Development of new engines demands both sophisticated hardware and time to arrive at optimum designs in view of increasingly stringent emission regulations and fuel economy. The researchers are focusing on computational studies. The paper deals with the modelling of diesel engine processes considering heat losses, and variable specific heats using double-Wiebe function for the heat release. High speed diesel fuel C10.8H18.7 is considered for calculations. Fuel injection timing, engine speed, inlet charge pressure and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) are observed to be pertinent parameters affecting diesel engine performance. Numerical experiments are performed on MS Excel platform and heat release (both premixed and diffusion phases), in-cylinder pressure and temperature histories are predicted. It was found that early injection timing leads to higher levels of pressure and temperature in the cylinder. However, with the increase in EGR levels, lower in-cylinder pressures and temperatures are obtained. |
