Real-time internal residual mass estimation for combustion with high cyclic variability

In this work, a physics-based method of estimating the residual mass in a recompression homogeneous charge compression ignition engine is developed and analyzed for real-time implementation. The estimation routine is achieved through in-cylinder pressure and exhaust temperature measurements coupled with energy and mass conservation laws applied during the exhaust period. Experimental results on a multicylinder gasoline homogeneous charge compression ignition engine and dynamic analysis demonstrate the estimation routine’s ability to perform across a wide range of operating conditions as well as on a cycle-by-cycle basis for highly variable combustion phasing data.
