Study of the intake system of automotive tractor internal combustion engines with variable parameters

Abstract

Increasing the effective performance of automotive tractor engines is primarily associated with the intensification of the working process parameters. One of the options for solving this problem is to improve the cylinder filling parameters, which will allow to increase the engine power and torque. In addition to mechanical and gas turbine supercharging, the little-studied resonant supercharging of the engine is of interest. In this case, by selecting the parameters of the inlet path of the engine, it is possible to achieve a significant increase in pressure in the zone of the inlet valve opening without expenditure of useful energy, using only the kinetic energy of the gases of the inlet path. The paper proposes a method to calculate the geometric parameters of the intake tract using a one-dimensional model of gas flow. The results obtained from the numerical investigations give good convergence. The article can be useful for masters, graduate students, and engineering and technical workers involved in the design of internal combustion engines.
