Download or read book Diesel Engine Injection Rate-Shape Optimization Using Genetic Algorithms and Multidimensional Modeling written by P. V. Farrell and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computational optimization study was performed for a heavy-duty direct-injection diesel engine using the recently developed KIVA-GA computer code. The effects of 11 engine input parameters on emissions and performance were studied. Start of injection (SOI), amount of EGR, boost pressure and eight parameters defining the fuel injection rate-shape were included in the search. The optimized configuration results in very low soot and NO(x) emissions together with relatively low fuel consumption.
