Hiroshi Tashima, Daisuke Tsuru, Ryosuke Ishibashi,, Consideration of Engine Size Effects on Heat Loss Focusing Large Low-Speed Marine Diesels, the 5th Rostock Large Engine Symposium, 2018.09, Large low-speed marine diesels outperform any other combustion engines working on a single heat cycle with their ultimate thermal efficiency up to 55% even on the lower calorific value of the fuel. The main reason has been considered to lie in their less heat-loss nature, and they actually lose only about 10% of the fuel energy through the chamber wall. Although their smaller surface-to-volume (SV) ratio or a “Square-cube law” is apt to be pointed as the theoretical ground, the law is not good enough to explain the nature because efficiencies and losses of piston engines should be discussed not per unit time (ex. hour or day) but per one engine cycle. This means the lower revolution of larger engines may offset the merit of their smaller SV ratio.
As for heat transfer aspects, many heat transfer models have been proposed to give reasonable estimation of the heat transfer between in-cylinder gas and chamber walls. Those models have been developed and validated in smaller engines. However, small high-speed diesels and large low-speed diesels differ entirely both in wall configuration and spray layout over the combustion chamber. To make matters worse, model parameters are usually optimized from engine to engine. All in all, it has to be said the less heat-loss nature of large diesels is only an empirical fact that has not been made theoretically clear. In this study, backgrounds of the heat loss issues of piston engines were investigated in detail thorough two approaches.
At first, a comprehensive survey was done to check the adaptability of a similarity law from high-speed small diesels to low-speed large diesels. The survey revealed that marine low-speed engines rotate much more slowly than the others, and therefore they have longer cycle time than expected on their bore size. The SV ratio and other indexes were also sampled and discussed.
Second, heat transfer models were equally adopted to a small high-speed engine (100 mm bore, 2000 rpm) and a large low-speed engine (400 mm bore, 140 rpm) with keeping model parameters exactly the same. In the first stage, a 1D engine simulator with a macro heat transfer model; Woschni model was adopted. Although the heat transfer model includes the engine size effect as minus two tenth power of the bore size, the simulator overestimated the heat loss of the large engine especially in the late expansion stroke. In the second stage, a combination of a 3D CFD code with a boundary-layer-based heat transfer model; Han-Reitz model was adopted to reflect the real chamber configuration and the spray specifications. The results finally showed good agreement with the expectation of the heat losses for the both engines and succeeded to clarify the background of the difference between them.. |

Numerical study of the influence of inhomogeneous mixture distribution on combustion process
In order to control the rapid combustion process in Premixed Charge Compression Ignition (PCCI) combustion, the present study investigates the influence of the inhomogeneous mixture distribution on the combustion process based on ID Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with detailed chemical kinetic reaction model.
Inhomogeneous mixture in the computational region was expressed by the spatial distribution of air/fuel mixture and the range of air/fuel equivalence ratio. As the uniform mixture gets inhomogeneous with the steeper gradient of equivalence ratio in stratified distribution, rapid combustion process becomes slower. However, too steep gradient of equivalence ratio makes the combustion process rapid because spontaneous reaction occurs locally in the area where the mixture with high equivalence ratio exists.
