3
What is a Powertrain?
  • Engine that converts thermal energy to mechanical
    work
  • Particularly, the architecture comprising all the
    subsystems required to convert this energy to
    work
  • Sometimes extends to drivetrain, which connects
    powertrain to end-user of power

4
Characteristics of Internal Combustion Heat
Engines
  • High energy density of fuel leads to high power
    to weight ratio, especially when combusting with
    atmospheric oxygen
  • External combustion has losses due to multiple
    inefficiencies (primarily heat loss from
    condensing of working fluid), internal combustion
    has less inefficiencies
  • Heat engines use working fluids which is the
    simplest of all energy conversion methods

5
Reciprocating Internal Combustion Heat Engines
  • Characteristics
  • Slider-crank mechanism has high mechanical
    efficiency (piston skirt rubbing is source of
    50-60 of all firing friction)
  • Piston-cylinder mechanism has high single-stage
    compression ratio capability leads to high
    thermal efficiency capability
  • Fair to poor air pump, limiting power potential
    without additional mechanisms

    energy
  • Turbines can recover heat energy left over from
    gas exchange

Two Valve Valvetrain
  • Pushrod OHV (Type 5)
  • HEMI 2-Valve (Type 5)
  • SOHC 2-Valve (Type 2)

22
Four Valve Valvetrain
  • DOHC 4-Valve (Type 2)
  • SOHC 4-Valve (Type 3)
  • DOHC 4-Valve (Type 1)
  • Desmodromic

23
Valvetrain
  • Specific Power f(Air Flow, Thermal
    Efficiency)
  • Air flow is an easier variable to change than
    thermal efficiency
  • 90 of restriction of induction system occurs in
    cylinder head
  • Cylinder head layouts that allow the greatest
    airflow will have highest specific power
    potential
  • Peak flow from poppet valve engines primarily a
    function of total valve area
  • More/larger valves equals greater valve area

24
Combustion Terms
  • Brake Power Power measured by the absorber
    (brake) at the crankshaft
  • BSFC - Brake Specific Fuel Consumption Fuel
    Mass Flow Rate / Brake Power grams/kW-h or
    lbs/hp-h
  • LBT Fuelling - Lean Best Torque
    Leanest Fuel/Air to Achieve
    Best Torque LBT 0.0780-0.0800 FA or 0.85-0.9
    Lambda
  • Thermal Enrichment Fuel added for cooling due
    to component temperature limit
  • Injector Pulse Width - Time Injector is Open

25
Combustion Terms continued
  • Spark Advance Timing in crank degrees prior to
    TDC for start of combustion event (ignition)
  • MBT Spark Maximum Brake Torque Spark
    Minimum Spark Advance to
    Achieve Best Torque
  • Burn Rate Speed of Combustion Expressed as
    a fraction of total heat released versus crank
    degrees
  • MAP - Manifold Absolute Pressure Absolute
    not Gauge (does not reference barometer)

26
Combustion Terms continued
  • Knock Autoignition of end-gasses in combustion
    chamber, causing extreme rates of pressure rise.
  • Knock Limit Spark - Maximum Spark Allowed due to
    Knock can be higher or lower than MBT
  • Pre-Ignition Autoignition of mixture prior to
    spark timing, typically due to high temperatures
    of components
  • Combustion Stability Cycle to cycle variation
    in burn rate, trapped mass, location of peak
    pressure, etc. The lower the variation the
    better the stability.

27
Engine Architecture Influence on Performance
  • Intake Exhaust Manifold Tuning
  • Cylinder Filling Emptying
  • Momentum
  • Pressure Wave
  • Aerodynamics
  • Flow Separation
  • Wall Friction
  • Junctions Bends
  • Induction Restriction
  • Exhaust Restriction (Backpressure)
  • Compression Ratio
  • Valve Events

28
Intake Tuning for WOT Performance
  • Intake manifolds have ducts (runners) that tune
    at frequencies corresponding to engine speed,
    like an organ pipe
  • Longer runners tune at lower frequencies
  • Shorter runners tune at higher frequencies
  • Tuning increases local pressure at intake valve
    thereby increasing flow rate
  • Duct diameter is a trade-off between velocity and
    wall friction of passing charge

29
Exhaust Tuning for WOT Performance
  • Exhaust manifolds tune just as intake manifolds
    do, but since no fresh charge is being introduced
    as a result not as much impact on volumetric
    efficiency (8 maximum for headers)
  • Catalyst performance usually limits production
    exhaust systems that flow acceptably with little
    to no tuning

30
Tuned Headers
Tuned Headers generally do not appear on
production engines due to the impairment to
catalyst light-off performance (usually a minimum
of 150 additional distance for cold-start
exhaust heat to be lost). Performance can be
enhanced by 3-8 across 60 of the operating
range.
31
Momentum Effects
  • Pressure loss influences dictate that duct
    diameter be as large as possible for minimum
    friction
  • Increasing charge momentum enhances cylinder
    filling by extending induction process past
    unsteady direct energy transfer of induction
    stroke (ie piston motion)
  • Decreasing duct diameter increases available
    kinetic energy for a given mass flux
  • Therefore duct diameter is a trade-off between
    velocity and wall friction of passing charge

32
Pressure Wave Effects
  • Induction process and exhaust blowdown both cause
    pressure pulsations
  • Abrupt changes of increased cross-section in the
    path of a pressure wave will reflect a wave of
    opposite magnitude back down the path of the wave
  • Closed-ended ducts reflect pressure waves
    directly, therefore a wave will echo with same
    amplitude

33
Pressure Wave Effects cont
  • Friction decreases energy of pressure waves,
    therefore the 1st order reflection is the
    strongest but up to 5th order have been
    utilized to good effect in high speed engines
    (thus active runners in F1 in Y2K)
  • Plenums also resonate and through superposition
    increase the amplitude of pressure waves in
    runners small impact relative to runner
    geometry

34
Effects of Intake Runner Geometry
35
Tuning in Production I4 Engine
36
Aerodynamics
  • Losses due to poor aerodynamics can be equal in
    magnitude to the gains from pressure wave tuning
  • Often the dominant factory in poorly performing
    OE components
  • If properly designed, flow of a single-entry
    intake manifold can approach 98 of an ideal
    entrance on a cylinder head port (steady state on
    a flow bench)

37
Aerodynamics cont
  • Flow Separation
  • Literally same phenomenon as stall in wing
    elements pressure in free stream insufficient
    to push flow along wall of short side radius
  • Recirculation pushes flow away from wall, thereby
    reducing effective cross-section so-called vena
    contracta
  • Simple guidelines can prevent flow separation in
    ducts studies performed by NACA in the 1930s
    empirically established the best duct
    configurations

38
Aerodynamics cont
  • Wall Friction
  • Surface finish of ducts need to be as smooth as
    possible to prevent tripping of flow on a macro
    level
  • Junctions Bends
  • Everything from your fluid dynamics textbook
    applies
  • Radiused inlets and free-standing pipe outlets
  • Minimize number of bends
  • Avoid S bends if at all possible

39
Induction Restriction
  • Air cleaner and intake manifolds provide some
    resistance to incoming charge
  • Power loss related to restriction almost directly
    a function of ratio between manifold pressure
    (plenum pressure upstream of runners) and
    atmospheric

40
Exhaust Restriction
41
Compression Ratio
  • The highest possible compression ratio is always
    the design point, as higher will always be more
    thermally efficient with better idle quality
  • Knock limits compression ratio because of
    combustion stability issues at low engine speed
    due to necessary spark retard
  • Most engines are designed with higher compression
    than is best for low speed combustion stability
    because of the associated part-load BSFC benefits
    and high speed power

42
Valve Events
  • Valve events define how an engine breathes all
    the time, and so are an important aspect of low
    load as well as high load performance
  • Valve events also effectively define compression
    expansion ratio, as compression will not
    begin until the piston-cylinder mechanism is
    sealed same with expansion

43
Valve Event Timing Diagram
  • Spider Plot - Describes timing points for valve
    events with respect to Crank Position
  • Cam Centerline - Peak Valve Lift with respect to
    TDC in Crank Degrees

44
Valve Events for Power
  • Maximize Trapping Efficiency
  • Intake closing that is best compromise between
    compression stroke back flow and induction
    momentum (retard with increasing engine speed)
  • Early intake closing usefulness limited at low
    engine speed due to knock limit
  • Early intake opening will impart some exhaust
    blowdown or pressure wave tuning momentum to
    intake charge
  • Maximize Thermal Efficiency
  • Earliest intake closing to maximize compression
    ratio for best burn rate (optimum is
    instantaneous after TDC)
  • Latest exhaust opening to maximize expansion
    ratio for best use of heat energy and lowest EGT
    (least thermal protection enrichment beyond LBT)

45
Valve Events for Power
  • Minimize Flow Loss
  • Achieve maximum valve lift (max flow usually at
    L/D gt 0.25-0.3) as long as possible (square lift
    curves are optimum for poppet valves)
  • Minimize Exhaust Pumping Work
  • Earliest exhaust opening that blows down cylinder
    pressure to backpressure levels before exhaust
    stroke (advance with increasing engine speed)
  • Earliest exhaust closing that avoids
    recompression spike (retard with increasing
    engine speed)

49
Powertrain Closing Remarks
  • Powertrain is compromise
  • Four-stroke engines are volumetric flow rate
    devices the only route to more power is
    increased engine speed, more valve area or
    increased charge density
  • More speed, charge density or valve area are
    expensive or difficult to develop therefore
    minimizing losses is the most efficient path
    within existing engine architectures
  • Highest average power during a vehicle
    acceleration is fastest peak power values dont
    win races

Calibration
  • What is it?
  • Optimizing the control system (once hardware is
    finalized) for drivability, durability
    emissions
  • Its just spark and fuel how hard could it be?
  • Knowledge of Thermodynamics, Combustion and
    Control Theory all play in
  • Fortunately race engines have no emissions
    constraints and use race fuel (usually eliminates
    any knock) therefore are relatively easy to
    calibrate

52
Calibration Terms
  • Stoichiometry Chemically correct ratio of fuel
    to air for combustion
  • F/A Fuel/Air Ratio Mass ratio of mixture,
    a determination of richness or leanness.
    Stoichiometry 0.0688-0.0696 FA
  • Lambda Excess Air Ratio Stoichiometry 1.0
    Lambda
  • Rich F/A F/A greater than Stoichiometry Rich lt
    1.0 Lambda
  • Lean F/A F/A less than Stoichiometry Lean gt
    1.0 Lambda

53

  • Thermal Enrichment Fuel added for cooling due
    to exhaust component temperature limit

Control System Types
  • Alpha-N
  • Engine Speed Throttle Angle
  • Speed-Density
  • Engine Speed and MAP/ACT
  • MAF
  • Engine Speed and MAF

58
Alpha-N
  • Fuel and spark maps are based on throttle angle
    which is very non-linear and requires complete
    mapping of engine
  • Good throttle response once dialed in
  • Density compensation (altitude and temperature)
    is usually absent needs to be recalibrated
    every time car goes out

59
Speed-Density
  • Fuel and spark maps are based on MAP density of
    charge is a strong function of pressure,
    corrected by air temp and coolant temp therefore
    air flow is simple to calculate
  • Less time-intensive than Alpha-N, once calibrated
    is good most common type of control
  • Needs less mapping can do WOT line and mid-map
    then curve-fit air flow (spark needs a little
    more in-depth for optimal control)

60
MAF
  • Fuel and spark maps are based on MAF airflow
    measured directly
  • MAF sensor isnt the most robust device
  • Pressure pulses confuse signal, each application
    has to be mapped with secondary damped MAF sensor
    (usually a 55 gallon drum inline)
  • Least noisy signal is usually at air cleaner so
    separate transport delay controls need to be
    calibrated for transients and leaks need to be
    absolutely eliminated
  • Boosted applications usually add a MAP as well

61
Control System Components
  • Fuel System
  • Injectors, Fuel pump Regulator
  • Basic Sensors
  • Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) or Mass Air Flow
    (MAF)
  • Crank Position (Rpm TDC)
  • Cam Position (Sync)
  • Air Charge Temp (ACT)
  • Engine Coolant Temp (ECT)
  • Knock Sensor
  • Lamda Sensor

62
Fuel System
  • Injectors
  • Volumetric flow rate solenoids, linear
    relationship between pulsewidth and flow for
    given pressure delta
  • Battery offset is time necessary to open and
    close solenoid time is fixed for any voltage
  • Duty cycle is injector on time itll go static
    above 95
  • Bernoulli relationship for different pressure
    deltas allowing differing flow rates for a
    given injector
  • High impedance injectors have lower dynamic range
    and lower amperage and thus less heat in
    controller
  • Fuel Pump Regulator
  • Pressure needs to be sufficiently high to prevent
    vapour lock (gt4bar) and low enough that engine
    can idle
  • In-tank regulation adds least heat but has
    line-loss as flow rate increases, ie fuel
    pressure changes with flow
  • Manifold-referenced regulation can help injectors
    achieve higher flow rates at elevated boost or
    lower flows at low vacuum making calibration
    more complicated

Bernoulli Effect of Fuel Pressure
63
Sensors
  • Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
  • A variable-resistance diaphragm with perfect
    vacuum on one side and manifold pressure on other
  • Mass Air Flow (MAF)
  • A heating element followed by a
    temperature-sensitive element. Heated element is
    maintained at a constant temperature and based
    upon the measured downstream temperature the mass
    flow rate can be determined
  • Crank Position
  • High resolution for spark advance, less-so for
    crank speed and with once-per-rev can indicate
    TDC
  • Cam Position
  • Low resolution for syncronization for sequential
    fuel injection and individual cylinder spark
  • Air Charge Temp and Engine Coolant Temp
  • Thermistors used for air density correction and
    startup enrichment

64
Sensors, cont
  • Knock Sensor
  • A piezoelectric load cell that measures
    structural vibration. Knock is a pressure wave
    that travels at local sonic velocity and rings
    at a frequency that is a function of bore
    diameter (typically between 14-18kHz). When the
    structure of the engine (typically the block) is
    hit with this pressure wave it rings as well, but
    at a frequency that is a function of the
    structure (ie materials and geometry). A FFT
    analysis of different mounting positions (nodes
    not anti-nodes) is necessary to determine the
    center frequency to listen for knock (which is
    measured via in-cylinder pressure measurements)
    without picking up other structure-borne noise.

65
Sensors, cont
  • Lamda Sensor (EGO)
  • Compares ambient air to exhaust oxygen content
    (partial pressure of oxygen). Sensor output is
    essentially binary (only indicates rich or lean
    of stoichiometry).
  • Wide-band Lamda Sensor (UEGO)
  • Compares partial pressure of oxygen (lean) and
    partial pressure of HmCn, H2 CO (rich) with
    ambient. Gives output from 0.6 to 2 Lamda.

Calibration Goals
  • Combustion Thermodynamics
  • Work, Power Mean Effective Pressures
  • Knock, Pre-Ignition
  • Burn Rate
  • Transients
  • Wall film
  • Thermal Enrichment
  • Drivability

67
Knock
  • Causes of Knock
  • Knock f(Time,Temperature,Pressure,Octane)
  • Time Higher engine speeds or faster burn rates
    reduce knock tendency. Burn rate can come from
    multiple spark sources, more compact combustion
    chambers or increased turbulence
  • Temperature Reduced combustion temperatures
    reduce knock through reduced charge temperatures
    (cooler incoming charge or reduced residual
    burned gases), increased evaporative cooling from
    richer F/A mixtures and increased combustion
    chamber cooling
  • Pressure Lower cylinder pressures reduce knock
    tendency through lower compression ratio or MAP
    pressure
  • Octane Different fuel types have higher or
    lower autoignition tendencies. Octane value is
    directly related to knocking tendency

68
Knock continued
  • Effects of Knock
  • Disrupts stagnant gases that form boundary layer
    at edge of combustion chamber, increasing heat
    transfer to components and raising mean
    combustion chamber temp that can lead to
    pre-ignition
  • Scours oil film off cylinder wall, leading to dry
    friction and increased wear of piston rings
  • Shockwave can induce vibratory loads into piston
    pin, piston pin bore and top land - reducing oil
    film thickness and accelerating wear
  • Shockwave can be strong enough to stress
    components to failure

69
In-cylinder Pressure Measurement
  • Piezoelectric pressure transducers develop charge
    with changes in pressure
  • Installed in combustion chamber wall or spark
    plug to measure full-cycle pressures

Cylinder Pressure TraceSevere Damaging Knock
74
Pre-Ignition
  • Effects of Pre-Ignition
  • Increases peak cylinder pressure by beginning
    heat release too soon
  • Increased cylinder pressure also increases heat
    load to combustion chamber components, sustaining
    the pre-ignition (leading to run-away
    pre-ignition)
  • Increases loads on piston crown and piston pin
  • Sustained pre-ignition will typically put a hole
    in the center of the piston crown

75
Burn Rate
  • Burn Rate f(Spark, Dilution Rate/FA Ratio,
    Chamber Volume Distribution, Engine Speed/Mixture
    Motion/Turbulent Intensity)
  • Spark
  • Closer to MBT the faster the burn with trace
    knock the fastest
  • Dilution Rate/FA Ratio
  • Least dilution (exhaust residual or anything
    unburnable) fastest
  • FA Ratio best rate around LBT
  • Chamber Volume Distribution
  • Smallest chamber with shortest flame path best
    (multiple ignition sources shorten flame path)
  • Engine Speed/Mixture Motion/Turbulent Intensity
  • Crank angle time for complete burn nearly
    constant with increasing engine speed indicating
    other factors speeding burn rate
  • Mixture motion-contributed angular momentum
    conserved as cylinder volume decreases during
    compression stroke, eventually breaking down into
    vortices around TDC increasing kinetic energy in
    charge
  • Turbulent Intensity a measure of total kinetic
    energy available to move flame front faster than
    laminar flame speed. More Turbulent Intensity
    equals faster burn.

76
Combustion Thermodynamics Summary
  • Peak Specific Power
  • LBT fuelling for best compromise between
    available oxygen and charge density
  • MBT spark if possible, fast burn rate assumed at
    peak load
  • Highest engine speed to allow highest compression
    ratio
  • Highest octane
  • Peak Thermal Efficiency at desired load
  • Highest compression ratio will have best
    combustion, usually with highest expansion ratio
    for best use of thermal energy
  • MBT spark with fastest burn rate
  • 10 lean of stoichiometry will provide best
    compromise between heat losses and pumping work,
    but not used because of catalyst performance
    impacts in pass cars

77
Transient Fuelling
  • Liquid fuel does not burn, only fuel vapour
  • Heat from somewhere must be used to make vapour
    which is why up to 500 more fuel must be used on
    a cold start to provide sufficient vapour for
    engine to run (relationship between temperature
    and partial pressure of fuel fractions)
  • Most of heat during fully warm operation comes
    from back side of intake valve and port walls
  • Because of geometry a large portion of fuel wets
    wall this film travels at some fraction of free
    stream. Therefore some fuel from every pulse
    goes into engine and some onto port wall.
  • On a fast acceleration, additional fuel must be
    added to offset the slowly moving wall film.
    Opposite true on decels.
  • If injector is positioned far upstream volumetric
    efficiency increases due fuel heat of
    vapourization cooling incoming charge, but a
    large amount of wall is wetted leading to poor
    transient fuel control

Thermal Enrichment
  • Durability
  • Combustion temperatures can reach 4000 deg K and
    drop to 1800 deg K before Exhaust Valve Opening
    (EVO)
  • Materials must operate at sufficiently low
    temperature to maintain strength, so Exhaust Gas
    Temperature (EGT) limits must be adhered to for
    sufficient durability
  • Usually 950 deg C runner temperature is
    acceptable for a developed package, as low as 800
    deg C for undeveloped components may be necessary
  • Primary path for cooling is additional fuel
    beyond LBT, as heat of vapourization cools the
    charge before ignition (pressure-charged engines
    primarily)

81
Drivability
  • Throttle Response
  • Drivers expect some repeatability and resolution
    of thrust versus pedal position some degree of
    spark mapping (retard) and pedal to throttle cam
    can help a drivers confidence
  • Usually least developed and of most importance is
    tip-in (throttle closed to small opening) where
    torque can come in as a step change

82

83
Closing Remarks
  • Calibration is compromise
  • Best spark for drivability may not produce
    sufficient combustion stability or fuel
    consumption
  • Best fuelling for drivability is voracious fuel
    consumer - decel fuel shut off can improve
    economy by 20 but has tip-in torque bumps
    without careful calibration
