To develop a Simulink model for assessing the performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of a spark-ignition (SI) engine using a gasoline-biogas dual fuel strategy, I have outlined the necessary components and the corresponding useful Simulink blocks.
Key Components of the Model:
- Engine Model
- Fuel System
- Ignition System
- Exhaust System
- Control System
- Performance Metrics
- Torque and Power Output
- Fuel Efficiency
Suggested Simulink Blocks
- Signal Builder: For input signals like throttle position and engine speed.
- MATLAB Function: For custom calculations and logic.
- Integrator: To model dynamics and state changes.
- Gain: For scaling signals.
- Lookup Table: To model non-linear relationships like fuel maps.
- Sum: For adding or subtracting signals.
- Product: For multiplying signals.
- Scope: For visualizing outputs like torque, power, and emissions.
- Subsystem: To organize and encapsulate parts of the model.
For more information kindly refer following MathWorks documentation.
I hope this will be helpful.
