Abstract

As the complexities of the internal combustion engine increase, to optimize engine performance and reduce emissions levels, automotive industries look to shorten engine calibration and modeling time. The following paper proposes a diesel engine model that makes use of a pre-built thermodynamic mean-value engine model (MVEM) that integrates novel regression methods and foremost Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to capture the inter-dependence of engine control with the output engine operating characteristics and output emission, making it particularly useful in new engine calibration. The primary benefits of such an integration are maintaining sufficient accuracy characteristic of more complex engine models (thermodynamic, wave-action, or even computational fluid dynamics models) while significantly reducing the simulation processing requirements, which adds to the streamlining of the final stages of the new engine design process. The results from this paper point to the fact that ANNs provide the best that fit for engine data compared to older, better-accepted regression methods such as radial basis function (RBF) or polynomial regression while increasing model response time. Since ANNs can be successfully integrated with existing thermodynamic models, this opens the major potential to simplify engine modeling by reducing modeling time and building more efficient and environmentally friendly diesel engines.
