The diesel engine has been recognized as the most promising internal combustion engine available today due to its superior thermal efficiency and reliability. Modern emissions standards and customer demands have increased the need for advanced design theories on diesel engines for improved/optimized product design. By focusing on engine performance and system integration, this book establishes the theory of diesel engine system design, including the approaches used in its modeling and analysis. Diesel engine system design links everything diesel engineers need to know about engine performance and system design in order for them to master all the essential topics quickly and apply the techniques to solve practical design problems.
Part one provides detailed coverage of the fundamental concepts and generic techniques in diesel engine system design. It starts with the analytical design process followed by the theories on durability, reliability, and optimization. Part two goes on to present the fundamentals of dynamic and static diesel engine system designs by introducing the engine thermodynamic cycle and vehicle powertrain performance, followed by the critical boundary conditions for engine system design in the areas of combustion, emissions, and aftertreatment. Part three explores dynamics, friction, and NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness), including comprehensive coverage of valvetrain and piston assembly. Part four proceeds with the analyses of the first and second laws of thermodynamics on heat rejection and the engine air system including exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and turbocharging, followed by engine transient performance and electronic controls before summarizing subsystem interaction and system specification design.
With its distinguished author Diesel engine system design will benefit a broad range of engineering professionals in different disciplines and provide them with a systematic understanding of how engine system design specifications are generated. It will also introduce engine design knowledge to academic researchers and enable system design engineers to apply the methods and working knowledge directly to their daily design and research.
