SI Engine Simple Torque Model

For the simple brake torque calculation, the SI engine block uses a torque lookup table map that is a function of engine speed and load.

Fuel Flow

To calculate the fuel flow, the SI Core Engine block uses fuel injector characteristics and fuel injector pulse-width.

${\dot{m}}_{f u e l} = \frac{N S_{i n j} P w_{i n j} N_{c y l}}{C p s (\frac{60 s}{\min}) (\frac{1000 m g}{g})}$

To calculate the fuel economy for high-fidelity models, the block uses the volumetric fuel flow.

$Q_{f u e l} = \frac{{\dot{m}}_{f u e l}}{(\frac{1000 k g}{m^{3}}) S g_{f u e l}}$

The equation uses these variables.

${\dot{m}}_{f u e l}$	Fuel mass flow, g/s
$ω$	Engine rotational speed, rad/s
$C p s$	Crankshaft revolutions per power stroke, rev/stroke
$S_{i n j}$	Fuel injector slope, mg/ms
$P w_{i n j}$	Fuel injector pulse-width, ms
$N_{c y l}$	Number of engine cylinders
N	Engine speed, rpm
Sg_fuel	Specific gravity of fuel
Q_fuel	Volumetric fuel flow

The block uses the internal signal FlwDir to track the direction of the flow.

Air-Fuel Ratio

To calculate the air-fuel (AFR) ratio, the CI Core Engine and SI Core Engine blocks implement this equation.

$A F R = \frac{{\dot{m}}_{a i r}}{{\dot{m}}_{f u e l}}$

The CI Core Engine uses this equation to calculate the relative AFR.

$λ = \frac{A F R}{A F R_{s}}$

To calculate the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), the blocks implement this equation. The calculation expresses the EGR as a percent of the total intake port flow.

$E G R_{p c t} = 100 \frac{{\dot{m}}_{i n t k, b}}{{\dot{m}}_{i n t k}} = 100 y_{i n t k, b}$

The equations use these variables.

$A F R$	Air-fuel ratio
AFR_s	Stoichiometric air-fuel ratio
${\dot{m}}_{i n t k}$	Engine air mass flow
${\dot{m}}_{f u e l}$	Fuel mass flow
λ	Relative AFR
y_intk,b	Intake burned mass fraction
EGR_pct	EGR percent
${\dot{m}}_{i n t k, b}$	Recirculated burned gas mass flow rate

Exhaust

The block calculates the:

Exhaust gas temperature
Exhaust gas-specific enthalpy
Exhaust gas mass flow rate
Engine-out (EO) exhaust emissions:
- Hydrocarbon (HC)
- Carbon monoxide (CO)
- Nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide (NOx)
- Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
- Particulate matter (PM)

The exhaust temperature determines the specific enthalpy.

$h_{e x h} = C p_{e x h} T_{e x h}$

The exhaust mass flow rate is the sum of the intake port air mass flow and the fuel mass flow.

${\dot{m}}_{e x h} = {\dot{m}}_{i n t a k e} + {\dot{m}}_{f u e l}$

To calculate the exhaust emissions, the block multiplies the emission mass fraction by the exhaust mass flow rate. To determine the emission mass fractions, the block uses lookup tables that are functions of the engine torque and speed.

$\begin{array}{l} y_{e x h, i} = f_{i_f r a c} (T_{b r a k e}, N) \\ {\dot{m}}_{e x h, i} = {\dot{m}}_{e x h} y_{e x h, i} \end{array}$

The fraction of air and fuel entering the intake port, injected fuel, and stoichiometric AFR determine the air mass fraction that exits the exhaust.

$y_{e x h, a i r} = \max [y_{i n, a i r} - \frac{{\dot{m}}_{f u e l} + y_{i n, f u e l} {\dot{m}}_{i n t a k e}}{{\dot{m}}_{f u e l} + {\dot{m}}_{i n t a k e}} A F R_{s}]$

If the engine is operating at the stoichiometric or fuel rich AFR, no air exits the exhaust. Unburned hydrocarbons and burned gas comprise the remainder of the exhaust gas. This equation determines the exhaust burned gas mass fraction.

$y_{e x h, b} = \max [(1 - y_{e x h, a i r} - y_{e x h, H C}), 0]$

The equations use these variables.

$T_{e x h}$	Engine exhaust temperature
$h_{e x h}$	Exhaust manifold inlet-specific enthalpy
$C p_{e x h}$	Exhaust gas specific heat
${\dot{m}}_{i n t k}$	Intake port air mass flow rate
${\dot{m}}_{f u e l}$	Fuel mass flow rate
${\dot{m}}_{e x h}$	Exhaust mass flow rate
$y_{i n, f u e l}$	Intake fuel mass fraction
y_exh,i	Exhaust mass fraction for i = CO₂, CO, HC, NOx, air, burned gas, and PM
${\dot{m}}_{e x h, i}$	Exhaust mass flow rate for i = CO₂, CO, HC, NOx, air, burned gas, and PM
T_brake	Engine brake torque
N	Engine speed
y_exh,air	Exhaust air mass fraction
y_exh,b	Exhaust air burned mass fraction
