Abstract
Whenever an engine is designed and manufactured, it is tested to calibrate brake power, indicated power and friction
power. Diesel engine simulation models can be used to understand the combustion performance; these models can reduce the effort, time while producing engines which fails to meet the requirements.
In the present work a thermodynamic simulation model for the performance of a four stroke direct injection diesel engine
is modelled.
A zero dimensional model has been used as a model to investigate the combustion performance of a single cylinder direct
injection diesel engine fuelled by high speed diesel. The numerical simulation was performed at different speeds and
compression ratios. The pressure, temperature diagrams vs crank angle are plotted. The simulation model includes sub
models for various frictional pressure losses, fuel inflow rate with crank angle.
A solution procedure is developed for solving the available equations using numerical methods. An appropriate C++
code is written for brake power, friction power, indicated power, brake thermal efficiency are simulated. Experiment was
conducted on available four stroke diesel engine and the model is validated.
KEYWORDS: Simulation model, combustion performance, zero dimensional model, numerical simulation, indicated
power, brake power, brake thermal efficiency, friction power.

INTRODUCTION:
Present days new ideas, which are not been discussed
two decades ago were considered by automotive manufacturers. In particular, many leading automotive companies
have approached practically the very complicated design
ideas with different aspects of diesel/petrol engine design.
These aspects have been under extensive theoretical and
experimental investigations. The most important aspect
of design is aimed to vary the engine compression ratio
depending on load, speed, or both. Several trials have
been done in that respect with extensive design, experimentation, and measurements. All attempts to change
the compression ratio are achieved by one or more of the
following concepts:

PRESSURE LOSS
The various pressure losses multiplied by volume and
speed and converted into friction power are shown below.
It can be observed from figure that crank case mechanical losses, throttling losses and pumping losses are independent of compression ratio. Piston and blowby losses
increase with increase in compression ratio almost linearly.

NUMERICAL SOLUTION
Indicated mean effective pressure =7.04961 bar
Indicated power=4.8723 kW
Friction power=0.7853 kW
Hence brake power=4.8723-0.7853=4.087 kW
EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
Brake power=3.68kW
Friction power=0.875kW (noted down from Willan's line
method then calculated)
Indicated power=3.68+0.875=4.555kW
Hence indicated mean effective pressure=6.5832 bar
P-V diagram
The P-V diagram obtained from numerical solution is following expected trend of an actual cycle. The steep rise
and decrease of pressure indicate combustion zone of the
engine.
