Abstract

High pressure (HP) fuel pipeline is one of the major components of Combination Electronic Unit Pump (CEUP) diesel fuel injection system and has significant contribution in building up of high pressure required during fuel injection cycle. A MATLAB numerical model of pressure wave inside HP fuel pipeline of CEUP system using damped wave equation has been developed in MATLAB to study and simulate pressure wave propagation through fuel pipeline at various operating conditions of diesel engine. Finite Difference method has been applied to model and simulate pressure equation at various equidistant locations of fuel pipeline. Dynamic variations of fuel properties as a function of varying pressure have also been incorporated. The MATLAB model has been validated by comparing simulated pressures with those of experimentally validated AMESim numerical model of CEUP fuel injection system. Quantitative comparisons were also done using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Index of Agreement (IA). Results show that MATLAB numerical model is quite accurate especially at low cam rotational speeds and low cam angles.
