• Abstract:
  A mathematical model was developed for the purpose of providing students with data ; acquisition and engine modeling experience at the University of Idaho. In developing the ; model, multiple heat transfer and emissions models were researched and compared before ; being implemented in the final model. It was decided that empirical methods would be used ; to predict engine performance facets due to their simplicity, and would be later modified, or ; adjusted, to fit the test results. ; In an attempt to improve the accuracy of the MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory) model, specific ; heats were modeled as a function of temperature, friction effects were modeled as a function ; of engine speed (RPM), valve opening and closing was included, and emissions predictions ; were included based on a two-zone approach. Although the model is in the process of being ; validated, preliminary comparisons with engine manufacturer’s data has shown promising ; results.
