Turbocharging
Pulse-driven turbine was invented and
patented in 1925 by Büchi to increase
the amount of air inducted into the engine.
- Increased engine power more than offsets
losses due to increased back pressure
- Need to deal with turbocharger lag

Turbocharging
Purpose of turbocharging or supercharging is to increase inlet air density,
- increase amount of air in the cylinder.

Mechanical supercharging
- driven directly by power from engine.

Turbocharger - connected compressor/turbine


- energy in exhaust used to drive turbine.

Supercharging necessary in two-strokes


for effective scavenging:
- intake P > exhaust P
- crankcase used as a pump

Some engines combine engine-driven and


mechanical (e.g., in two-stage configuration).
Intercooler after compressor
- controls combustion air temperature.

relatively low pressure ratio ~ 3.5

- direct coupled with exhaust-driven
turbine
- less suited for mechanical
supercharging

Consists of:
stationary inlet casing,
rotating bladed impeller,

ηideal Function of only two variables, compression ratio (rc)


and ratio of specific heats (γ)
Increasing rc increases operating volume for compression and expansion
Increasing γ increases pressure rise during combustion and increases work
extraction during expansion stroke.
Both effects result in an increase in net system work for a given energy release
and thereby increase engine efficiency.
Actual closed-cycle efficiencies to deviate from ideal:
1.) Assumption of isochoric (constant volume) combustion:
Finite duration combustion in realistic engines.
Kinetically controlled combustion has shorter combustion duration than diesel or SI
- duration limited by mechanical constraints, high pressure rise rates with audible
engine noise and high mechanical stresses
2.) Assumption of calorically perfect fluid:
Specific heats decrease with increasing gas temperature; species conversion during
combustion causes γ to decrease
3.) Adiabatic assumption:
Large temperature gradient near walls results in energy being lost to heat transfer
rather than being converted to crank work

23 CEFRC1-2, 2014
Part 2: Turbochargers, Engine Performance Metrics Herold, 2011

Other assumptions:
In engine system models, compressors, supercharger, turbines modeled with
constant isentropic efficiency instead of using performance map.
- typically, compressors, superchargers, and fixed geometry turbines have isentropic
efficiencies of 0.7. VGT has isentropic efficiency of 0.65.
Charge coolers - intercooler, aftercooler, and EGR cooler modeled with zero
pressure drop, a fixed effectiveness of 0.9, constant coolant temperature of 350 K.

Summary

Turbocharging can increase engine efficiency by using available energy in exhaust


and by reducing pumping work

Air standard “ideal cycle” analysis provides a bound on engine efficiency


estimates.

0-D engine system models provide estimates of engine system efficiencies,


if combustion details (e.g., timing and duration) and heat transfer losses are assumed

The goal of multi-dimensional models (to be discussed next) is to predict the


combustion details
