A Model of Torque Generation Process in Direct Injection Diesel Engines

Paper in proceeding, 2003

Aiming at integrating a reliable combustion torque estimator into engine controllers, we present encouraging identification and validation results for a combustion model of DI diesel engine. The model is sufficiently simple to be possibly included into future engine control strategies and estimate techniques. The experimental data refer to a turbocharged engine BMW MD47 1900cc during a transient phase.
