Steady State and Transient Efficiencies of A STEADY STATE AND TRANSIENT EFFICIENCIES OF A FOUR CYLINDER DIRECT INJECTION DIESEL ENGINE FOR IMPLEMENTATION IN A HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Masters of Science Charles Van Horn August, 2006 STEADY STATE AND TRANSIENT EFFICIENCIES OF A FOUR CYLINDER DIRECT INJECTION DIESEL ENGINE FOR IMPLEMENTATION IN A HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE Charles Van Horn Thesis Approved: Accepted: Advisor Department Chair Dr. Scott Sawyer Dr. Celal Batur Faculty Reader Dean of the College Dr. Richard Gross Dr. George K. Haritos Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Iqbal Husain Dr. George R. Newkome Date ii ABSTRACT The efficiencies of a four cylinder direct injection diesel engine have been investigated for the implementation in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The engine was cycled through various operating points depending on the power and torque requirements for the HEV. The selected engine for the HEV is a 2005 Volkswagen 1.9L diesel engine. The 2005 Volkswagen 1.9L diesel engine was tested to develop the steady-state engine efficiencies and to evaluate the transient effects on these efficiencies. The peak torque and power curves were developed using a water brake dynamometer. Once these curves were obtained steady-state testing at various engine speeds and powers was conducted to determine engine efficiencies. Transient operation of the engine was also explored using partial throttle and variable throttle testing. The transient efficiency was compared to the steady-state efficiencies and showed a decrease from the steady- state values. Changes in engine efficiency and how it impacts vehicle fuel economy for steady speeds was also investigated. From the steady-state and transient testing suggested operating points for the engine implementation in the series-parallel HEV developed by The University of Akron were made. The steady-state efficiency data is useful for the determination of operation points for series, parallel, and spilt hybrid modes. Transient efficiencies behavior is useful during acceleration of the vehicle at both high and low speeds, as well as the transition between hybrid operating modes. Engine operating points for other applications may also be derived from this data. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the following people for their contributions to this project: - Dr. Sawyer, of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Akron, for his guidance and help through this project as well as my graduate and undergraduate studies. - Dr. Gross, of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Akron, for his guidance and development throughout this project. - Dr. Husain, of the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Akron, for his leadership of the Challenge X program as well as his advisement on this paper. - Mr. Steve Gerbetz for his guidance and assistance with the dynamometer test setup and many other technical issues. - The entire University of Akron Challenge X Team, students, faculty, and staff for making this project a success and allowing me the opportunity to do this research. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF TABLES vii LIST OF FIGURES viii CHAPTER I.

The Department of Energy and General Motors Company are the headline sponsors of Challenge X. The goal of the competition is to re-engineer a 2005 Chevrolet Equinox to minimize energy consumption and emissions while maintaining the utility of the vehicle. During the first part of the 2004 school year the team developed a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) architecture for use in the competition. This development process included a literature review into current and future HEV designs, vehicle simulations using the Powertrain Simulation Analysis Toolkit (PSAT), Greenhouse Gasses Regulated Emissions and Energy Usage Toolkit (GREET), as well as hand calculated derivations. The team also used several marketing research surveys conducted by marketing research groups from The University of Akron’s College of Business Administration. This thesis presents the results of experiments conducted and analysis for the characterization of the internal combustion engine selected for use in The University of Akron’s HEV architecture. The engine was cycled through various operating points depending on the power and torque requirements for the HEV. The selected engine, a 2005 Volkswagen 1.9L diesel engine, was tested to develop the steady-state engine efficiencies and to evaluate the transient effects on these efficiencies.

  • New Battery to Last 10 Times As Long
    Energy Grants Back Plug-In Cars, Ethanol By Sholnn Freeman Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, January 24, 2007; Page D03 The Department of Energy announced yesterday $17 million in grants to support the development of battery technology for plug-in hybrid vehicles and ethanol, two areas in the energy debate where officials in Washington and Detroit are closely aligned. The money will be offered as two grants, one for $14 million for the plug-in technology and the other for $3 million for ethanol. The money for battery development is intended to improve the technology's performance. The $3 million in ethanol grants will support engineering advances to improve how flex-fuel engines use the E85 blend… Foreign automakers are stepping up complaints that U.S. government policy is unfairly backing ethanol and plug-ins at the expense of diesels and traditional gas-electric hybrids, such as the Toyota Prius. Toyota is pushing to continue federal incentives for the cars. Diesel-engine makers and European automakers such as BMW and DaimlerChrysler are asking for more federal support for diesel technology http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/23/AR2007012300870.html Ford Edge plug-in hybrid concept does 41mpg Mobilemag.com – USA. That HySeries Drive concept that was making the rounds at the Detroit Auto Show has been unleashed on the public in the form of the Ford Edge, launching the venerable American automaker firmly into the plug-in electric market. The new vehicle, running on a flexible powertrain, can guarantee up to 41mpg with no emissions. The innovative HySeries Drive uses a combination of gas engine, diesel engine, and fuel cell to achieve that rather remarkable mpg figure, which increases to 80 if you don't top 50 miles a day and, in the best cases, 400 miles between fill-ups.

  • New Fuel Economy Testing
    MotorWeek Transcripts AUTOWORLD 'CHALLENGE X STUDENT COMPETITION' JOHN DAVIS: Automotive technology is evolving at a rapid clip, and so are the engineering practices used to develop new cars and trucks. This can be a problem for our nation’s colleges and universities, since today’s graduates can’t design tomorrow’s cars with yesterday’s knowledge. To provide hands-on experience actually developing an advanced-technology vehicle using industry practices, The US Department of Energy’s latest design competition invites North America’s brightest students to step up to… Challenge X. STUDENTS: This is where its really at. Everything is changing. This is where the jobs are going to be. It is really exciting and we will do what it takes. We will do the best. DAVIS: 2008 marks the fourth and final year for the Challenge X competition, in which teams from 17 engineering schools were given a stock 2005 Chevy Equinox and tasked with improving its emissions and fuel economy. The use of renewable fuels and advanced technologies was encouraged, and sponsors provided funding, technical support, and more importantly the advanced hardware needed to make their designs a reality. Headline sponsor General Motors provided the vehicles as well as mentoring support for each team, and allowed the competition to mimic its Global Vehicle Design Process, by which GM develops its own prototype vehicles. Year one of the competition focused on modeling, vehicle simulation, and deciding which approach to take. All chose some form of hybrid electric drivetrain, and many schools chose to burn biodiesel or ethanol while a few ambitious teams opted for Hydrogen fuel.

  • Modeling and Simulation of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle for the Challenge X Competition
    Modeling and Simulation of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle for the Challenge X Competition Submitted to: The Engineering Honors Committee 119 Hitchcock Hall College of Engineering The Ohio State University Columbus, OH 43210 By Michael Arnett 4091 Millsboro Rd W Mansfield, OH 44903 Dr. Giorgio Rizzoni, Advisor May 20, 2005 Abstract: As the market shifts toward larger vehicles and growing concerns regarding petroleum consumption and emissions emerge, automakers have begun to explore new vehicle propulsion solutions. General Motors and The Department of Energy have joined together to create the Challenge X competition to explore hybrid-electric vehicles as one such solution. Seventeen teams across the United State will experience “real-world” HEV development over the three year competition. This process begins with vehicle architecture selection, modeling and simulation. A dynamic model of a hybrid-electric powertrain is developed here. This model is then implemented into two Simulink based simulators: the quasi-static cX-SIM, the dynamic cX-DYN. These simulators are used to validate the control strategy being developed for the Challenge X vehicle. Verification will include optimal performance in regards to fuel consumption, battery state-of-charge, and drivability. Techniques of validating the model and simulators using a rolling chassis are also being implemented. Preliminary data from the quasi-static simulator and the rolling chassis is presented herein.

  • Performance Analysis of a Diesel Cycle Under the Restriction of Maximum Cycle Temperature with Considerations of Heat Loss, Friction, and Variable Specific Heats S.S
    Vol. 120 (2011) ACTA PHYSICA POLONICA A No. 6 Performance Analysis of a Diesel Cycle under the Restriction of Maximum Cycle Temperature with Considerations of Heat Loss, Friction, and Variable Specific Heats S.S. Houa;¤ and J.C. Linb aDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Kun Shan University, Tainan City 71003, Taiwan, ROC bDepartment of General Education, Transworld University, Touliu City, Yunlin County 640, Taiwan, ROC (Received November 11, 2010) The objective of this study is to examine the influences of heat loss characterized by a percentage of fuel’s energy, friction and variable specific heats of working fluid on the performance of an air standard Diesel cycle with the restriction of maximum cycle temperature. A more realistic and precise relationship between the fuel’s chemical energy and the heat leakage that is constituted on a pair of inequalities is derived through the resulting temperature. The variations in power output and thermal efficiency with compression ratio, and the relations between the power output and the thermal efficiency of the cycle are presented. The results show that the power output as well as the efficiency where maximum power output occurs will increase with the increase of maximum cycle temperature. The temperature-dependent specific heats of working fluid have a significant influence on the performance. The power output and the working range of the cycle increase while the efficiency decreases with increasing specific heats of working fluid. The friction loss has a negative effect on the performance. Therefore, the power output and efficiency of the cycle decrease with increasing friction loss. It is noteworthy that the effects of heat loss characterized by a percentage of fuel’s energy, friction and variable specific heats of working fluid on the performance of a Diesel-cycle engine are significant and should be considered in practice cycle analysis.
