Investigation of the effect of air supply on the effective engine performance of a machine-tractor unit under unsteady load

Abstract

The article discusses the effect of air supply (excess air coefficient) on the effective performance of the engine of a machine-tractor unit with an unsteady load. The analysis of the influence of unsteady load on the engine performance of the machine-tractor unit (MTU) is given. Theoretical studies are presented to determine the effective performance of the MTU engine under unsteady load and their comparative analysis with the results of experimental data. This is necessary to verify the adequacy of theoretical dependencies with the results of experimental studies.
