A nonlinear dynamic model is developed in this study to simulate the overall performance of a naturally aspirated, single cylinder, four-stroke, direct injection diesel engine under cold start and fully warmed-up conditions. The model considers the filling and emptying processes of the cylinder, blowby, intake, and exhaust manifolds. A single zone combustion model is implemented and the heat transfer in the cylinder, intake, and exhaust manifolds are accounted for. Moreover, the derivations include the dynamics of the crank-slider mechanism and employ an empirical model to estimate the instantaneous frictional losses in different engine components. The formulation is coded in modular form whereby each module, which represents a single process in the engine, is introduced as a single block in an overall Simulink engine model. The numerical accuracy of the Simulink model is verified by comparing its results to those generated by integrating the engine formulation using IMSL stiff integration routines. The engine model is validated by the close match between the predicted and measured cylinder gas pressure and engine instantaneous speed under motoring, steady-state, and transient cold start operating conditions.

This article discusses the measures for efficient use of fuel and energy resources in the railway industry. The calculation of the initial moment of starting the diesel engine and the necessary position of its crankshaft is made, on the basis of which it is proposed to modernize the locomotive start-up system with a decompressor. These measures are aimed at reducing the dynamic loads of engine components and reducing their wear and tear, as well as failure preventing. A method for the clean-up of fuel systems and the cylinder-piston diesel engine group of diesel locomotives was developed and tested using a special cleaning liquid that dissolves and removes solidified particles from pipelines and tanks. Measures have been proposed on the use of advanced models to test the modernized locomotives that will reduce the duration of the tests, resource and economic costs. The use of advanced testing model involves choosing the level of accuracy of the test results and, consequently, their duration and cost.

Transient operation of a direct injection heavy duty (DI HD) diesel engine equipped with an NOx storage catalyst (NSC) was simulated using a ‘virtual powerplant’ simulation code with a zero-dimensional multizone combustion model. For the regeneration of the NSC the engine is required to work with lean/rich operation switches, which necessitates advanced engine management schemes for the fuelling, throttle and turbocharger wastegate. An optimization procedure, using the simulation model, resulted in a proposed schedule for the control of the various engine components involved in such engine operation.

This paper outlines methods developed to control the quality of incoming materials and finished components with emphasis on the performance that is ultimately required from them. The examples given are taken from diesel engineering but the basic ideas apply to all industries whose final products consist of an assembly of components which are complete in themselves. The quality control of materials and components fills an important role in ensuring that the technical requirements written into a specification by a designer are met by suppliers. The author outlines various techniques developed in his company to achieve this. The paper has two main sections: ( a) quality control of incoming materials, and ( b) performance control of components. The first part deals with the controls established for cast-iron components of various sizes ranging from bedplates and columns weighing about 20 tons to piston rings weighing less than one pound. Ultrasonic testing is briefly discussed as also is the material specification for white metal bearings. The second part of the paper gives examples of performance testing of a number of diesel engine components together with brief details of some of the test rigs that have been developed to carry out the tests. Some of the components discussed in this section are piston rings, crankshafts, camshafts, cams, and fuel injection equipment.

High Incidence

A high incidence of hearing loss has been encountered among tractor drivers, and noise levels are shown to be further increased by the addition of cabs, particularly those which are structurally strong to resist crushing if the vehicle overturns. Some reductions in the noise level of the operator's environment can be obtained by covering the engine or by exhaust system modifications, while possible future improvements to diesel engine design may effect a significant improvement. However, it is proposed that noise reduction is likely to be achieved by attention to acoustic features of the operator's cab. The inclusion of resilient mounts, substantial floors and bulkheads, and acoustically absorbent linings are all shown to provide worthwhile improvements and, in combination, these measures can reduce noise levels from more than 100 dBA to 90 dBA or less. Where the tractor is fitted with a safety frame only, a low noise fabric cladding is shown to be feasible.
