Analysis of low-pressure exhaust gases recirculation transport and control in transient operation of automotive diesel engines

摘要

The objective of the study is to determine the behavior of the low pressure exhaust gas recirculation (LP EGR) transport phenomena in the intake manifold during engine transient operation. The investigation also analyzes the influence of the propagation of the pressure waves in the intake manifold on the engine performance. In this sense, there is a clear trade-off: long intake lines improve the engine volumetric efficiency at low engine speeds but delay the EGR transport in the system.
