Dynamic Analysis of the Internal Combustion Engine
Review
1. The induction (intake) stroke: The inlet valve opens, and the piston travels from TDC (state 0) to BDC(state 1). As the piston moves, low pressure forms in the cylinder, and an air-fuel mixture at theambient temperature and pressure is sucked into the cylinder.
2. The compression stroke: The inlet valve closes, and the piston travels from the BDC (state 1) to theTDC (state 2). In this process, both the air-fuel mixture’s pressure and temperature increase. Duringthe compression stroke, the piston does work on the gas in the cylinder. At some point during thecompression process, the spark plug fires, ignition occurs, and the fuel combusts, raising both thetemperature and the pressure of the gas even further (state 2 to state 3).
3. The expansion (power) stroke: The piston moves towards BDC (state 4) while the combustion processcontinues. The gases push the piston. Towards the end of the power stroke, the exhaust valve opensand the combustion products start escaping.
4. The exhaust stroke: As the exhaust valve opens, the pressure drops (state 4 to state 1). The pistonmoves from the BDC to the TDC expelling the combustion products (state 1 to state 0). During theexpulsion process, the combustion products are at a temperature and pressure above ambientconditions. At the end of the expulsion process, the exhaust valve closes, and we are back where westarted.

Process 1-2: The piston moves from BDC (point 1) to TDC, compressing the gas in the cylinder. No heatexchange occurs between the gas and its surroundings during the compression process. The process isadiabatic. The ratio of the gas’ volume at the beginning and the end of the compression process is knownas the compression ratio,

.
Process 2-3: The cylinder remains at TDC without moving. Heat is added to the gas. The heat addition isassumed to occur instantaneously. During the heat addition process, the gas’ volume remains fixed whileits temperature and pressure increase. In other words, this is a constant volume process.Process 3-4: The piston moves from TDC to BDC. The gas expands while pushing the piston. Theexpansion process is assumed to be reversible and adiabatic.Process 4-1: The piston remains at BDC. Heat is removed from the gas instantaneously before thecylinder has an opportunity to move. This is a constant volume process.
Some terminology is appropriate here. Vc is called the clearance volume and is denoted by Vc. Similarly,the volume of the cylinder at the bottom dead center is denoted by Vt. The difference between the two iscalled the swept volume, or the displacement, Vs. The compression ratio, r, is given by the ratio of thevolume at the bottom dead center position to the clearance volume:

Dynamics: An overview
Here is a brief overview of what is going on in the internal combustion engine.1. The pressure of the gases (air + fuel, or by products of combustion) exerts a force on the piston. Think
of this force as being an “input force”, although during some parts of this cycle, we know that the gasesin the cylinder are not doing positive work.
2. All the parts of the internal combustion engine have a finite mass (inertia). Thus a fraction of the inputforces are “spent” on accelerating or decelerating the masses.
3. Some of the input is used to overcome the friction on the piston walls and the friction at the bearings.(Gravitational forces are insignificant for internal combustion engines).
4. The crank is coupled to the crankshaft which in turn is coupled via a power train to the wheels of theautomobile. The crankshaft may also power the water pump, camshaft, power steering pump, the airconditioning compressor and other accessories. A significant part of the input force is used to drive theautomobile. Since the crank has a rotary motion, the fraction of the input force used to drive the crankis effectively a moment, and is called the turning moment.
We want a formal description of these ideas and we want to develop an equation that will relate thepressure in the cylinder to the turning moment.

Particle dynamics
Consider a single particle of mass m in the plane and consider a force F acting on the particle. Let itsposition vector be given by r. If i and j represent unit vectors along the x and y axes, the force andposition vectors can be written in terms of components in the following form:
F = Fx i + Fy j (1)
r = x i + y j (2)As the position of the particle changes, after an infinitesimal time dt, the new position vector is r+dr givenby:
dr = dx i + dy j (3)

Figure 2 A particle of mass m acted on by a force F as its position vector changes from r to r+dr.
The work done on the particle by the force F is given by: dW = F . dr (4)
where the product between F and dr is the scalar product between the two vectors. The power associatedwith the force is given by
vFr
F ⋅=⋅==dtd

From Newton’s second law we know that the force is related to the acceleration (a) of the particle by theequation:
F = m a (6)If the velocity of the particle is denoted by v,
dtd
mv
F = (7)
Combining (5) and (7), we get:
vv ⋅=

mP (8)
We will now try to relate the right hand side the above equation to the rate of change of kinetic energy ofthe particle. The kinetic energy K is half the mass times the square of the velocity of the particle:
vv ⋅= mK 21 (9)
The time derivative the kinetic energy is given by:
⋅+⋅=

Recognizing that the scalar product is commutative, we see that the right hand sides of (8) and (10) are thesame. Therefore, we get the simple result:
dtdK
P = (11)
The power associated with the force acting on a particle is equal to the rate of change ofkinetic energy of the particle.
There are couple of obvious extensions to this. First, if there is more than one force acting on the particle,we can let F be the resultant force and the net power associated with the forces acting on the particle willequal the rate of change of kinetic energy. Second, (11) is also true for a system of n particles. If there aren particles and we compute the power associated with the net external force acting on each particle, we canapply (11) to each particle. We will find that the net power is equal to the rate of change of the total kineticenergy of the system. Therefore we can write:
The total power associated with external forces acting on a system of n particles is equal tothe rate of change of the total kinetic energy of the system.

Rigid body dynamics
It is possible to characterize the dynamics of any rigid body by considering an equivalent system of a finitenumber of particles. In particular, any link (see Figure 3) can be approximated by a system of twoparticles. If the center of mass of the system is at C, as shown in the figure, the equivalent system of asystem of two particles of mass mA and mB is given by:

where m is the total mass of the original link.

Let us assume that allthe rigid bodies are symmetric. In other words, the center of mass for each rigid body is at its geometriccenter.

If the slider crank mechanism is viewed as a system, there are two primary sources of energy interactionthat will change the kinetic energy of the mechanism. First, there is the work done by the gases in thecombustion chamber. Second, the crankshaft of the mechanism is coupled to a load, and the momentrequired to turn the load (or alternatively, the resistance offered by the load), called the turning momentdoes work on the system.

Let us assume that the engine is running at constant speed. This is at best an approximation since theengine speed is never constant but instead fluctuates within a narrow band.

Exercise: Computer aided analysis of a four-stroke internal combustion engine
The goal of this exercise is to develop the mathematical model and a software package that will allow youto analyze a four-stroke internal combustion engine. Specifically we want to be able to do the followingtasks.
1. Plot the cylinder pressure against the crank angle for 720 degrees (a complete cycle). Note that Figure1 shows the pressure against the cylinder volume – we want pressure against the crank angle.
2. Derive an expression for the piston speed as a function of crank angle and crank speed and plot thepiston speed against the crank angle for a constant crank speed. & . &x vs θ (see Figure 4).
3. Plot the effective inertia against the crank angle.
4. Plot the inertial moment against the crank angle
5. Plot the turning moment against the crank angle.
6. Calculate the average turning moment and estimate the engine torque.
7. Plot the turning moment for the engine for a 720 degree rotation by overlaying the plots for a singlecylinder at the appropriate intervals.
8. Find the crank angles at which the engine speed is the lowest and the angle at which the engine speed isthe highest.
9. Suggest a suitable remedy for reducing the engine fluctuations.
NoteYou may choose any engine to analyze. The data in Table 2 is a good starting point. Data for more enginesis available on the course web site. However, there are four variables that you will need to fix for yourself.• You will need to increase the masses mcrank, mpiston, and mconn, if the engine is larger. A good rule of
thumb is to assume that the masses scale with the product of the square of the bore and the stroke.• Another variable is the maximum pressure in the engine. The maximum pressure pmax will be greater in
high performance engines.
Report
1. Provide a table with specifications (analogous to
-13-
Table 2) and representative plots for the engine of your choice for each of the 9 items listed above.Each plot must be clearly labeled.
2. Attach a copy of the matlab script file that was used to generate the data for the plots.3. Discuss each plot briefly. What does the plot tell you about engine performance? What do you find
interesting about the plot?
