Modelling, simulation and validation of reciprocating engine

In this paper, control oriented mean value model of naturally aspirated single cylinder diesel engine is studied. Then suitable single cylinder naturally aspirated diesel engine sub-system/system level models and simulation framework is developed in Matlab-Simulink platform. The same engine model-simulator is tuned and validated using the experimental data collected from the IC engine lab set-up. The developed model will be used to develop necessary instrumentation and data acquisition systems for integration with the available IC engine lab set-up and to evaluate performance of some SISO and MIMO control algorithms for suitable engine sub-system/system.
