Numerical Solution and Study of Thermal Effect of Transient Processes of a Turbocharged Diesel Engine

This paper reports on a theoretical investigation of the transient response of a turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine. A comprehensive computer program has been written to simulate the performance characteristics of the several elements of the engine in order to study the operating characteristic of the total system. Numerical solutions of the influence of the thermal effects of some components on the transient processes of the engine have been determined. The potential of the simulation is illustrated by predictions of the engine transient performance in the standard build condition and also with changes in component design and performance.
