Mathematical Model for Closed-Form Solution of Parameters of Cylinder Exhaust Port in Variable-Stroke Engine

Abstract

A mathematical model for getting the closed-form solution of main parameters of cylinder exhaust port is present, based on a few known parameters of variable-stroke engine (VSE). Considering lack of parameters in the initial stage of design, empirical formula is applied to solve the initial specific time-area value of exhaust port, and the initial port timing angle is solved by using logarithmic alignment method, thereby height and width of the exhaust port can be solved, then the precise specific time-area value and port timing angle are solved by using the coefficient calculation method and logarithmic alignment method respectively, so that the relative errors between initial and precise values of specific time-area value and port timing angle are defined as the relative errors of the mathematical model. Application examples show that the relative errors of the model is less than 3%.
