Abstract:

Pressure calculation of the natural gas engine power cylinder in working process is the basis of ensuring engine operation,and mechanical properties calculation and safety evaluation of the key components. According to the gas engine working principle and thermodynamic process,this article analyzes the gas state equation and the gas combustion process. Based on the mass equation,momentum equation and energy conservation equation,the combustion process pressure calculation method is established. Using the two-region model and field test results,the gas combustion rate equation is presented. As for the polytropic exponent,with the established database,this article determines the value with the software module,ensuring the accuracy and avoiding influence of human factors on the calculation results. Finally,with the numerical example and field test results analysis,the reliability of this calculation method is verified. Based on the pressure calculation method,quantitative analysis of the influence of key parameters such as the ignition advance angle,air-fuel ratio,speed and temperature on pressure is made. Meanwhile,using the pressure calculation results,the engine efficiency analysis can provide the basis for the economic machine operation. The mechanical performance calculation of key components based on the pressure calculation results,can provide theoretical support for safety evaluation of the engine.
