Optimized modelling and application of exhaust gas recirculation performance evaluation of turbocharged diesel engine

Abstract

Aimed at the problem of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) performance evaluation and optimal EGR rate determination of turbocharged diesel engines, an optimized decision-making method, based on grey theory and entropy weight, was proposed. The internal combustion pressure, fuel consumption rate, NOX, CO and smoke were selected as the decision-making targets and the initial decision-making model was established based on the traditional grey decision-making theory. According to the characteristics and optimization requirements of EGR, the optimal compromise between combustion and emission performance is proposed to transform into decision-making target weighting problem, then an optimized subjective weighting method based on expert scoring and grey relational analysis is proposed. Finally, the entropy weight method was used to solve the objective weight and the optimized multi-objective grey decision-making model was established, which can not only weaken the human error of subjective empowerment, but also fully explore the intrinsic relationship of the evaluation indexes. At last, an optimization simulation platform for EGR performance evaluation based on MATLB/GUIDE was designed and established. The results show that the optimization simulation platform can effectively improve the efficiency of simulation calculation, which is more convenient for practical engineering applications. The optimized method can successfully realize EGR performance evaluation and optimal EGR rate determination under different working conditions. The decision-making result was consistent with the present EGR control strategies, which provide a new research idea for EGR performance optimization.
