The analytical design process and diesel engine system design

Diesel engine system design (DESD) is an important and leading function in the design and development of modern low-emissions EGR diesel engines. It creates a paradigm shift in how engine design is carried out. It leads and integrates the designs from the system level to the component level by producing high-quality system design specifications with advanced analytical simulation tools. This chapter introduces the fundamental concepts in diesel engine system design and provides an overview on the theory and approaches in this emerging technical field. The central theme is how to design a good engine system performance specification at an early stage of the product development cycle. The chapter employs a systems engineering approach and applies the concepts of reliability and robust engineering to diesel engine system design to address the optimization topics encountered in design for target, design for variability, and design for reliability. An attribute-driven system design process is developed for advanced analytical engine design from the system level to the subsystem/component level in order to coordinate different design attributes and subsystems. Four system design attributes – performance, durability, packaging, and cost – are elaborated. The chapter also addresses competitive benchmarking analysis. By focusing on engine performance and system integration (EPSI), the technical areas, theoretical foundation, and tools in diesel engine system design are introduced.
