Given the explainable mathematical trends of the analytical model and the lack of available analytical modeling of the diesel engines intake manifold with a flexible crankshaft, the present study develops and validates such a model. In the present paper, the mass flow rate of air that goes from intake manifold into all the cylinders of the engine with a flexible crankshaft has been analytically modeled. The analytical models of the mass flow rate of air and gas speed dynamics have been validated using case studies and the ORNL and EPA Freeway standard drive cycles showing a relative error of 7.5% and 11%, respectively. Such values of relative error are on average less than those of widely recognized models Citation: Elmoselhy, S.A.M.; in this field, such as the GT-Power and the CMEM, respectively.

Introduction Attribution (CC BY) license (https:// creativecommons.org/licenses/by/ The continual demand for diesel powertrain development is due to the distinguished 4.0/). operating features the diesel powertrains exhibit [1]. As a cost-effective tool for developing Energies 2021, 14, 1287. https://doi.org/10.3390/en14051287 https://www.mdpi.com/journal/energies Energies 2021, 14, 1287 2 of 20 diesel powertrains, modeling assumes a key role in such endeavor [2,3]. This is particularly true for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) [4,5]. Due to its relative location, intake manifold significantly influences the performance of the rest of the elements of diesel powertrain so that its modeling comes first with respect to diesel powertrain. The research area of mechanical energy modeling and analysis still has been a hot area of research. This is evident in very recent research papers developed at highly esteemed institutions such as [6,7]. In addition, very recently the featured paper in the “Energies” journal—Volume 14—Issue 1 in 2021, has been on diesel engines performance. This indicates that this area of research is still a hot topic that is still investigated by highly esteemed European institutions such as [8]. The intake manifold along with the crankshaft, which are interconnected through the engine cylinder assembly, significantly influence the net power of the engine. There- fore, the modeling of their interconnection becomes critical. Because the flexibility of the crankshaft is an intrinsic characteristic of the dynamics of the crankshaft, the influence of such flexibility should also be modeled. Guzzella et al. [9] reported that there are two categories of modeling the engine dynamics: (1) Mean Value Model which spreads out major processes in the engine for modeling the input-output behavior with good accuracy but low computational cost; (2) Discrete Event Model which explicitly describes the reciprocating behavior of the engine. However, for the cylinder and intake manifold, the mean value models do not show the influence of the crank angle. In addition, Guzzella et al. did not present a discrete event model of the air mass flow rate in intake manifold and engine’s cylinder as a function of crank angle analytically. Acquati et al. [10] proposed a mean value model of the air flow and pressure in the intake manifold of spark ignition engines. However, the mean value model does not show the influence of the crank angle on the mass flow rate of air in the engine’s cylinder and on the gas speed dynamics in the engine’s cylinder. Among the key models in this field is the model developed by Ouenou-Gamo et al. [11] that analytically modeled the air intake process in a turbocharger diesel engine using the camshaft angular position. That study showed the influence of the turbocharger on the manifold and on the cylinders’ parameters during their filling. However, that model neglects the gases’ kinetic energy and the gas flow’s momentum conservation. Other researchers tried to explain the mechanism of fuel consumption that influences the actual Air/Fuel ratio based on understanding the collision behavior of fuel drops in the cylinder of diesel engines [12]. Aguilera-Gonza et al. [13], developed a pressure model based on fuzzy logic for regu- lating the intake manifold pressure in a four-cylinder diesel engine air-path system with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT). However, that model did not show analytically the influence of the intake manifold’s pressure on the dynamics of the crankshaft. Considering irreversible thermodynamic processes, Mehta and Bharti [14] presented irreversible Otto cycle model for net power generation and efficiency calculation by includ- ing bypass heat leakage, frictional losses and internal irreversibility factors associated with compression and expansion process. They showed that the power is independent of heat leakage term but is affected by irreversibility in terms of flow losses and frictional losses. The technology of a balance shaft with eccentric weight for offsetting the vibrations of the crankshaft has been also modeled. In this line of modeling, Kumhar et al. [15] have identified the two sources of diesel engine’s vibrations: (i) vibrations because of rotating and reciprocating inertial forces that act on the crankshaft and the parts connecting with it, (ii) Torsional vibration of the crankshaft due to combustion pulses. Kumhar et al., proposed a computational model of a balancer shaft with eccentric masses to counter balance these two vibrational forces. However, they have not shown analytically the influence of the intake manifold’s pressure on the dynamics of the crankshaft. Energies 2021, 14, 1287 3 of 20 Chaubey and Tiwari [16] also developed a computational model but of the intake manifold of a four-cylinder engine. They showed the effects of shape of runners on the intake manifold’s output. However, that research did not analytically model the mass flow rate of air in the engine’s cylinder nor did it analytically model the gas dynamics in the engine’s cylinder. Vojtíšek and Kotek [17] compared real driving measurement of air flow in gasoline engines as well as in diesel engines with a generic analytical model of the mass flow rate based on volumetric efficiency and throttling. They reported that the relative error of such a model exceeds 10%. However, the paper did not take into account the effect of the flexibility of the crankshaft on the mass flow rate of air in the engine’s cylinder. Rakha et al. [18] indicated that a widely valid and microscopic model of diesel engines is yet sought for evaluating the diesel powertrain technologies. Faris et al. [19] therefore modeled analytically the intake manifold of supercharged diesel engines treating the crankshaft of the engine as an inflexible shaft. However, the flexibility of the crankshaft was not taken into consideration in that modeling. Albeit vehicle analytical modeling describes the physical phenomena associated with engines with explainable mathematical trends, no analytical model has been developed as yet of the supercharged diesel intake manifold taking into account the flexibility of the crankshaft. The significance of this research is indicated in light of recent research that reflects the importance of the line of research of the effect of gas pressure on diesel engines performance to the research community [20].

  • Small Engine Parts and Operation
    1 Small Engine Parts and Operation INTRODUCTION The small engines used in lawn mowers, garden tractors, chain saws, and other such machines are called internal combustion engines. In an internal combustion engine, fuel is burned inside the engine to produce power. The internal combustion engine produces mechanical energy directly by burning fuel. In contrast, in an external combustion engine, fuel is burned outside the engine. A steam engine and boiler is an example of an external combustion engine. The boiler burns fuel to produce steam, and the steam is used to power the engine. An external combustion engine, therefore, gets its power indirectly from a burning fuel. In this course, you’ll only be learning about small internal combustion engines. A “small engine” is generally defined as an engine that pro- duces less than 25 horsepower. In this study unit, we’ll look at the parts of a small gasoline engine and learn how these parts contribute to overall engine operation. A small engine is a lot simpler in design and function than the larger automobile engine. However, there are still a number of parts and systems that you must know about in order to understand how a small engine works. The most important things to remember are the four stages of engine operation. Memorize these four stages well, and everything else we talk about will fall right into place. Therefore, because the four stages of operation are so important, we’ll start our discussion with a quick review of them. We’ll also talk about the parts of an engine and how they fit into the four stages of operation.

  • Balance Shaft Sprocket Installation and Alignment Check
    ENG-08, Balance Shaft Sprocket Installation and Alignment Check Introduction If your 944 is experiencing vibration problems, the cause could be a balance shaft misalignment. This can occur if the balance shaft belt slips a tooth, the balance shaft belt is broken, or if the balance shaft sprockets are installed incorrectly. Quite often, balance shaft sprocket misalignment occurs after water pump, crankshaft oil seal, or balance shaft oil seal replacement. The following procedure will tell you how to correctly install the balance shaft sprockets and how to check them for proper alignment if you suspect that the sprockets may have been installed incorrectly. Other Procedures Needed • ENG-13, Locating and Setting Engine to Top Dead Center (TDC), Cylinder 1 Installation Each balance shaft sprocket has two slotted grooves on the inside diameter. One of the grooves on the sprocket will slide onto a woodruff key which is inserted into a slot near the front end of the balance shaft. On 1983 and 1984 model 944s, each balance shaft sprocket was stamped on the front with an "O" (Ober or Over) beside one of the slotted grooves and a "U" (Unter or Under) beside the other slotted groove. As one might have guessed, on the upper balance shaft, the groove with the "O" stamped beside it was installed onto the woodruff key, and on the lower balance shaft, the groove with the "U" stamped beside it was installed onto the woodruff key. I'm not sure what prompted Porsche to do it but, on cars produced after 1984, only the slotted groove with the "O" was stamped.

De klassiska metoderna att tillverka vevaxlar har varit dominerande och inte gett någon plats för alternativa tillverkningsmetoder. Powder manufacturing är en metod som kan revolutionera produktionens effektivitet och ekonomi. För att denna tillverkningsmetod ska vara möjlig måste vevaxeln tillverkas i delar. Webs, counter-weights och journal shafts måste produceras individuellt för att sedan sammanfogas. Den största utmaningen för denna avhandling är att förstå om vevaxelns counter webs kan tillverkas med samma form eller med så få olika former som möjligt. Denna avhandling handlar främst om att fastställa dessa tekniska krav och föreslå en ny, modulär design för PM. En kinematisk-kinetisk analys utförs med hjälp av en befintlig vevaxel som skannats och omvandlats till en CAD-modell. De numeriska värdena jämförs med en MBS-modell från Adams. Vevaxeln analyseras med avseende på balansering då motvikternas placering, massa och geometriska egenskaper undersöks. Nya modeller som följer de tekniska krav som krävs skapas och utvärderas med Pugh-matris.

  • Some Science of Balance © Tony Foale 2007
    Some science of balance © Tony Foale 2007. Readers who started riding before the 1970s, will easily remember the incredible vibration that we used to have to suffer, particularly with British single and twin cylinder machines. In addition to that, we also had to endure quite severe vibration from road shocks generally because of poor suspension. However, with the advent of the Japanese multi-cylinder machines, Lanchester balance shafts and the drive towards better suspension, today we can enjoy a much greater freedom from annoying vibration. In this article, we will only consider the vibration caused by the engine. This vibration has two basic sources, the least severe of which stems from the irregular torque output of reciprocating internal combustion engines. However, the biggest problem is due to the inability to balance inertia forces due to the piston motion in certain types of engine configuration. There can be two sources of mechanical imbalance, they are; rotating and reciprocating. Rotating balance Any rotating object can produce nett rotating forces if not properly balanced. Typical items of concern to us, would be the clutch assembly, alternators, flywheels and crankshaft. These out of balance forces are due to asymmetrical mass distribution about the rotating axis of the object in question. The clutch, alternators and any external flywheels can be fully balanced. However, due to the needs of reciprocating balance, certain configurations of engine, rarely allow us to achieve perfect rotating balance of the crankshaft, single cylinder engines, for example. There are two aspects of rotating balance which need to be considered. These are usually termed static and dynamic.
