This paper presents a control-oriented, reaction-based diesel combustion model that predicts the time-based rate of combustion, in-cylinder gas temperature, and pressure over one engine cycle. The model, based on the assumption of a homogeneous thermodynamic combustion process, uses a two-step chemical reaction mechanism that consists of six species: diesel fuel (C10.8H18.7), oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), nitrogen (N2), and carbon monoxide (CO). The temperature variation rate is calculated based on the rate of change of species concentrations; the heat loss correlation is also used to study the model performance. The accuracy of the model is evaluated using test data from a GM 6.6 L, eight-cylinder Duramax engine. The main contribution is the model calibration under different key operational conditions over a large engine speed and load range as well as different injection timings and exhaust gas recirculation rates by solving the optimal calibration problem. The calibrated reaction-based model accurately predicts the indicated mean effective pressure, while keeping the errors of in-cylinder pressure and temperature small, and, at the same time, significantly reduces the calibration effort, especially when the engine is operated under multiple fuel injection operations compared with Wiebe-based combustion models. The calibrated model parameters have a strong correlation to engine speed, load, and injection timings, and, as a result, a universal parameter calibration structure is proposed for entire operational conditions.
