SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention concerns an apparatus and method for utilizing momentum in determining performance of a turbine or compressor.
Instead of imposing a steady state mass flow rate, pressure ratio or outlet pressure, as previously done, this method imposes a steady state momentum source derived from the map.
One advantage over existing technology is that it introduces a physically based aerodynamic time lag, so that the dynamic behavior of the compressor or turbine may be better represented. This can improve acoustical predictions, and predictions of performance under pulsed flow conditions.
Other methods for modeling surging compressor systems such as the Greitzer model (Greitzer, E-M.. "Surge and Rotating Stall in Axial Flow Compressors Parti: Theoretical Compression System Model", Transactions of ASME, p. 190, April, 1976) are not applicable to a one-dimensional (cfd) gas dynamics approach. Near the surge limit of a compressor map, curves of pressure ratio (Outlet pressure divided by inlet pressure) verses mass flow at constant speed often have a positive slope, so that the peak pressure ratio occurs at a mass flow rate higher than the map surge limit mass flow rate. This makes it difficult to use the pressure ratio in order to look up a mass flow from the map, because for a given pressure ratio, there can be more than one mass flow. This new method can be used to calculate a unique value for the mass flow.
The "Momentum Volume junction" configuration allows the model to include the aerodynamic effects of the volume of the turbine or compressor, and it creates an interior area that can be used for heat transfer modeling to be implemented as well. The apparatus and method according to the present invention can be used by any manufacturer of turbocharged, supercharged or turbo compounded internal combustion engines to improve the design process and actual engine control.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above, as well as other, advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of a
preferred embodiment when considered in the light of the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a graph of fluid flow momentum versus position relative to an interface; Pig. 2 is schematic view of a simple momentum junction configuration that can be modeled according to the present invention;
Fig. 3 is a schematic view of volume momentum junction configuration that can be modeled according to the present invention; and
Fig. 4 is a block diagram of an engine control system in accordance with the present invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Typically, devices such as compressors are used to increase combustion engine performance by compressing the inlet air. Devices such as turbines are typically used to extract energy from the exhaust gases. The energy extracted by the turbine can be used to drive a compressor (as in a turbocharger) or to provide power for other purposes, such as driving an auxiliary device, or to add mechanical power to the engine output.
The present invention concerns a turbine or compressor simulation model that utilizes mass flows, enthalpy rise or drop and junction (compressor or turbocharger) to calculate momentum source at the inlets and outlets. The simulation model is intended to improve the prediction of turbine and compressor performance under conditions of pulsed flow, to improve the modeling of compressor surge stability, to compute mass flow when it is not uniquely defined by the inlet and outlet pressures, and to improve the prediction of pressure wave transmission, while using look up maps to represent the steady state performance, in a CFD code. Since the method according to the present invention can be used similarly for either a compressor or a turbine, both a compressor and a turbine will be referred to as a "junction" in the following description.
In the prior art algorithm that Is typically used for turbine or compressor performance in a simulation, a map of the steady state performance is used to characterize the turbine or compressor. The map typically relates the values of pressure ratio, inlet pressure, inlet temperature, speed and mass flow, and efficiency or enthalpy
rise that occur under steady state conditions. The maps can be typically represented by Equation 1 or 2 wherein "ss" represents "steady state".
ma>AhB = fW'Ptoto'Tbte'PndJ Equation 1 or
P outlets* ' Δ/ZΛV ~ / (N ' PmIa ' 1 Inlet ' JfIx)
Equation 2
In this new approach, rather than prescribing the instantaneous mass flow, pressure, pressure ratio, or enthalpy rise as steady state values looked up from the maps, a momentum source is calculated and used in the solution of the control surface or volume representing the turbine or compressor. This momentum source is the force that would be exerted on the fluid by the impeller or vanes in the turbine or compressor and is chosen such that in the steady state the mass flow, and/or the outlet pressure, and/or the enthalpy rise will match the steady state values looked up from the map. With this methodology , a physical model for the steady state behavior of the compressor or turbine or one of its components, such as the rotor or a stator, could also be used in the place of a map. Fig. 1. Momentum Balance Across Interface: The momentum balance for a particular discretization mesh configuration is shown in Fig. 1. This method could be applied with any discretization mesh however. In this configuration, u denotes an upstream control volume, d denotes a downstream control volume and {" denotes an interface between the upstream and downstream control volumes. ^ is a mass flux, U is a velocity, P is a static pressure, A,- is the interface area, and S1- is the momentum source. A positive mass flux or velocity goes from upstream to downstream, and a negative mass flux or velocity goes from downstream to upstream. At the interface i, the mass flux at the time step n+1 is calculated from a momentum balance with Equation 3.
In the steady state condition,
0 ^11U11- W11UA A1(P1,- Pt)+S) &n+Δd
Equation 4 or
In Equation 5, some or all of Ud, Un, Pd and P11 and ^ are steady state values taken from, or derived from the left hand side of Equation 1. The remaining terms are instantaneous values. Possible Solution Configurations: There are two basic configurations possible, the 'momentum control surface', and the 'momentum control volume'. The momentum control surface is shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 2, Momentum Control Surface:
This configuration has no internal volume. It connects adjacent computational cells and calculates the momentum balance described by Equation 3 at the interface. In this case, the upstream quantities are the inlet quantities, and the downstream quantities are the outlet quantities.
The momentum control volume is shown in Fig. 3. This configuration has an internal volume. A momentum balance is performed for each inlet or outlet interface. The figure shows a control volume with one outlet and two inlets, but any number of inlets or outlets is possible.
Fig. 3, Momentum Volume Junction:
The momentum control surface is simple, numerically robust, and requires few input parameters. The momentum control volume configuration has the advantage of supporting multiple inlets and/or outlets, and also internal volume can be used to represent dynamic behavior of the volume inside the actual compressor or turbine.
Illustrative Example 1 :
One possible instance of this algorithm, for the momentum control surface shown in Fig. 2, could be as follows.
From the map, look up the steady state outlet pressure PoMιetss, and enthalpy rise or loss Ahss from the instantaneous values of speed JV, upstream pressure P,t, upstream temperature Tu, and from the instantaneous mass flow ^ as shown in Equation 6.
Equation 6
The momentum source could then be calculated as:
S , = m (U t -U J) + A1JP0UtUUSS ~FJ Equation 7
In Equation 6, Ua, and Uu are instantaneous upstream and downstream velocities.
The momentum source in Equation 7 is the force that would be required exerted on the fluid by the interface, in order for the outlet pressure to be the steady state pressure from the map, given the instantaneous upstream pressure upstream and downstream velocities, and mass flow.
In Equation 3, if we assume that the upstream and downstream mass flows are the same, then if Equation 6 is substituted into Equation 3,
Equation 8 For a compressor, or any other junction in which the mass flow is not a unique function of the pressure ratio, Equations 7 and 8 can be used to uniquely calculate the mass flow.
The length Δu+Δd can be a characteristic length of the flow path through the junction. For a compressor, for example: κ+1
Equation 9
Where Lc is the characteristic length of the compressor. The length Lc, along with the cross sectional area define a time constant for the compressor. The time lag caused by the momentum balance of Equation 9 makes it possible to characterize the surge stability of the compressor-
Illustrative Example 2:
Another possible instance of this algorithm, for the momentum control surface shown in Fig. 2, could be as follows.
In Equation 5, the mass flow, velocity and pressure terms are replaced by steady state values to obtain Equation 10:
Equation 10
The momentum source in Equation 11 is the force that would be exerted on the fluid by the momentum control surface, if it were in steady state. Assume that in the map, from Equation 1 P Met and Tin(et axe a static temperature and pressure, and that Poutiet is a static pressure.
The inlet velocity,
Equation 11 where R is the ideal gas law constant for the working fluid.
The outlet stagnation temperature can be calculated as:
T Oomiei = J T- Ooutfet -+• /^~s '
Equation 12
Where Cp is the specific heat of the working fluid. The static and stagnation temperatures can be related by using the mass flow and
Mach number relationships. The outlet velocity is then:

Equation 13 A computer running a software program can be used in an engine control system to predict the dynamic behavior of the volume inside the actual compressor or turbine and achieve better control of the engine. In Fig. 4, there is shown a model 40 representing such a computer and software.
Also shown in Fig. 4 is an engine control system 70 according to the present invention. An internal combustion engine 72 is provided with an intake manifold 74 and an exhaust manifold 76. In some engines, a throttle (not shown) controls the amount of fresh air admitted to the engine 72.
Some engines have one or more compressors 78. The compressor may be of a variable geometry type, in which case the flow characteristics can be controlled. The compressor may be driven by an exhaust turbine 95, or it can be driven by another power source such as the engine crank shaft. Also, the engine may have one or more of the exhaust turbines 95. The exhaust gas flow through the turbine 95 may be controlled by a waste gate, or the turbine 95 may be of the variable geometry type. The turbine 95 may be used to drive a compressor, or it may be used to add power to the engine output, or to drive an auxiliary device. The waste gate, and or variable geometry settings of the compressor and/or the turbine- respond to control signals from the engine control module (ECM) 84.
In an engine with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), a small portion of the exhaust gas flowing out of the engine 72 through the exhaust manifold 76 is returned to the intake manifold 74 through a passage 80 connected between the manifolds. The amount of the exhaust gas recirculated is controlled by adjusting an EGR valve 82. The valve 82 responds to a control signal from an engine ECM 84 connected to the valve. The ECM 84 also is connected to a fuel control 86 to generate a control signal to determine the amount of fuel delivered to the engine 72.
The ECM 84 receives sensor signals from a plurality of sensors 92 that provide information about the operating conditions of the engine 72 and the emission control system 70. For example, the sensors 92 can include a mass air flow sensor (MAF), an intake manifold absolute pressure sensor (MAP), a throttle position sensor (TPS), a vehicle speed sensor (VSS), an engine RPM sensor (RPM)3 a temperature of coolant sensor (TMP), a heated exhaust gas oxygen sensor (HEGO), an exhaust gas temperature sensor (EGT) and a catalyst monitoring sensor (CMS). Typically, the HEGO sensor is located in the exhaust gas stream upstream of the inlet to the converter 90, the EGT sensor is located in the converter, and the CMS is located downstream of the outlet from the converter.
The ECM 84 also is connected to the model 40 to provide data thereto and receive control direction therefrom. The ECM 84 can control the compressor 78 or the turbine 95 based upon the estimated or simulated performance generated by the model
40. The control is typically achieved by modulating the turbine waste gate, or the compressor or turbine variable geometry controls. Other means of control may be used as
well, such as bypass valves in the intake or exhaust ducting. Thus, the engine control system 70 according to the present invention is a model-based realtime engine control.
In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes, the present invention has been described in what is considered to represent its preferred embodiment. However, it should be noted that the invention can be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated and described without departing from its spirit or scope.
