Abstract
Many models for prediction of emissions and combustion based on phenomenology of spray combustion for DI diesel engines are available in literature. All of them utilized empirical heat transfer correlation, which are mass averaged. Experimental observations from modern diesel engines of heavy-duty application showed that NOx formation suppresses at higher loads although favourable conditions exists. A new phenomenological model for NOx emission is developed based on mixing controlled combustion incorporating localized wall heat transfer. In this work, a phenomenological model for heat transfer from wall spray is also proposed which is employed along-with heat release model to account for effect of localized heat transfer. A simple geometrical relation is employed for the spray-wall interaction and subsequent turbulence structure for spray developed earlier by the authors. This model is one-dimensional and does not need any engine specific tuning. The newly evolved NOx model takes into consideration all the engine operating parameters viz. engine speed, fuel injection pressure, intake air pressure, temperature and swirl number etc. The effects of Exhaust Gas Recirculation and Biodiesel on NOx formation are also incorporated in this model. The new model was validated by conducting experimental investigations on six-engines at different operating conditions with widely varying features.
