O tratamento dos dados foi realizado empregando-se métodos estatísticos. Parâmetros como carga de trabalho, rotação, pressões, temperaturas, assim como a severidade do desgaste, podem não ser suficientes para manifestar a falha durante o tempo de exposição do motor ao ensaio, postergando a sua ocorrência para a planta do cliente (montadora) ou para o campo. O conhecimento da concentração dos elementos metálicos em óleo lubrificante é útil para a avaliação de desgastes de componentes específicos de motores permitindo uma intervenção preventiva a fim de evitar falhas catastróficas. A partir da análise dos dados históricos disponíveis na empresa definiu-se o conceito de assinatura de desgaste e buscou-se conhecer o comportamento dos resultados das análises de óleo, quando se constatou variabilidade significativa dos valores que pode ser explicada por erros sistêmicos e aleatórios. A validação da técnica por ICP-OES para detecção de desgaste prematuro em motores foi realizada a partir da reprodução do modo de falha mais comumente encontrado em motores de combustão interna, que é o engripamento de biela. Simulou-se a contaminação do sistema tribológico casquilho, moente e óleo, considerando-se o agente de contaminação externa proveniente da região de fechamento da capa da biela. Conforme esperado, os motores foram aprovados dentro dos parâmetros de controle existentes. Após a desmontagem dos motores evidenciouse que o sistema tribológico fora seriamente comprometido por desgaste do casquilho (bronzina), que apresenta um revestimento superficial de alumínio e estanho. Na análise univariada de metais dissolvidos no óleo lubrificante identificou-se a presença de estanho, o que não é esperado encontrar neste modelo de motor. No tratamento multivariado foi possível analisar a correlação dos metais dissolvidos no óleo cuja análise estatística possibilitou distinguir motores conformes de não conformes de forma quantitativa e objetiva. Desta forma, conclui-se que o método de análise de metais dissolvidos em óleo lubrificante por ICP-OES é eficaz, se mostrando sensível na detecção de desgaste do sistema casquilho-moente / Abstract: The main goal of this study is to evaluate if the determination of metal concentration in lubricant oil by ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy) is capable to help on eventual wear failures diagnosis on Diesel engines that are not detected in the production test cycle (running in). The data processing was done using statistical methods. Parameters like load, engine speed, pressures, temperatures, as well wear severity, cannot be enough to show the failure during the engine test time postponing the failure occurrence to OEM or field. The metallic elements concentration knowledge in lubricant oil is useful to evaluate specific engines parts wear allowing a preventive action in order to avoid catastrophic failures. Starting from the historic data analysis available in the company it was defined the concept of wear signature looking for oil analysis results behavior understanding, where it was noticed significant values variability due to random and systemic errors. The ICP-OES validation for premature wearing detection on engines was done starting from most usual failure mode found on internal combustion engines that is connecting rod scuffing. The tribological system bearing, crankshaft pin and oil was set to simulate a failure by an external contamination coming from the connecting rod cracked assembly area. As expected, the engines were approved according to current controls. After engine disassembly it was noticed that the tribological system was heavy damaged due to bearing wear whose surface layer composition is made of aluminum and tin. In the univariate oil analysis of metals dissolved it was detected tin which is not expected to be finding in this engine model. In the multivariate data processing it was possible to analyze the dissolved metals correlation whose statistical analysis make possible to distinguish conforming engines from non-conforming engines in a quantitative and objective way. So it is possible to conclude that the ICP-OES method to analyze dissolved metal in oil is effective showing sensibility to detect wear between crankshaft pin and connecting rod bearing system / Mestrado / Projetos / Mestre em Engenharia Automobilistica

No trabalho é realizada uma estimativa da confiabilidade de um motor diesel na fase de desenvolvimento com o uso de uma ferramenta de gerenciamento de crescimento da confiabilidade. São apresentados os conceitos essenciais para a estimação do valor da confiabilidade e de seu crescimento, o processo típico de desenvolvimento do produto e seu ciclo de vida no mercado. É descrito o procedimento atualmente realizado por uma empresa do ramo automotivo com grande participação no mercado brasileiro e internacional, são descritos os testes de validação usados, e é apresentada uma proposta de melhoria no modelo atual. A proposta consiste em classificar as falhas encontradas no decorrer dos testes, identificar os sistemas mais suscetíveis à falha nas condições de uso previstas, e utilizar uma ferramenta de software baseada no modelo AMSAA-CROW para estimar o crescimento da confiabilidade, com base no MTBF e no parâmetro de forma â.

In this work a software based tool is used to estimate the reliability growth evolution trough engine development phase. The essential concepts for the estimation of the value of reliability and of its growth, the typical process of product development and its life cycle in the market are considered. A procedure currently performed by an automotive company with significant market share in Brazil and abroad and the validation tests it uses is described. A new procedure is proposed aiming to improve the current model through development time reduction and early failures identification and correction. It consists in classifying the failures found during testing, identifying the systems more susceptible to failure in the conditions specified during operation, and applying a software tool based on the Crow-AMSAA model to estimate the reliability growth, based on the MTBF and the shape parameter â. The reliability growth curve is generated using the desired goal at the end of development, predicting the evolution of reliability throughout the development phase. The proposed model enables evaluation of the effectiveness of corrective actions; it is a tool that can be used to judge if the reliability goal has been reached and if the resources allocated to development are enough. The data obtained during the process allow the formation of a standardized database to be used in future developments / Mestrado / Projetos / Mestre em Engenharia Automobilistica

O modelo foi construído com utilização de modelagem de fenômenos físicos que ocorrem em algumas partes do motor, junto com tabelas obtidas através de testes empíricos do motor. O modelo foi criado de modo a aproveitar os sensores atualmente disponíveis no motor de série, utilizados pelo sistema de injeção eletrônica. O parâmetro de vazão de ar admitido, calculado pela unidade de controle do sistema de injeção também foi aproveitado. Após a criação do modelo, este foi verificado inicialmente simulando-se variações nas entradas (quantidade injetada de combustível e acionamento da válvula EGR) e analisando-se a reação ocorrida na saída do modelo (rotação do eixo do turbocompressor). Foram realizadas medições em um banco de testes para o levantamento do mapa de temperatura do coletor de escape em condição estacionária. Para a verificação do modelo em um caso real, foram coletados dados de diversos parâmetros de funcionamento de um motor diesel instalado em um veículo de testes da MWM International. Os parâmetros de entrada coletados foram inseridos no modelo e o valor de rotação medido confrontado com o valor calculado. Ajustes nos submodelos foram necessários para a estimação dos parâmetros do modelo através da minimização do erro encontrado. O erro encontrado diminuiu sensivelmente, porém ainda se manteve alto para ser considerado como uma informação confiável para a implementação no software da unidade de comando do motor / Abstract: In this work, it was intended to create a model capable to calculate the turbocharger shaft speed of a Diesel engine, for future implementation of an algorithm in the engine's Electronic Control Unit software, as a protection strategy against turbocharger shaft overspeed. The model was built using physical phenomenon modeling from some parts of the engine, among tables obtained by empiric tests of the engine. The model was created in order to use current sensors available in the series production engine, which is used by electronic fuel injection system. The intake air flow parameter, already calculated by ECU, was also used. After the model creation, it was verified simulating input variation (fuel injected quantity and EGR valve command) and analyzing the model output (turbocharger shaft speed). Measurements in bench test were performed in order to create an exhaust manifold temperature map in steady condition. In order to check the model in a real case, several operating parameter data were collected from a Diesel engine installed in a test vehicle from MWM International. The acquired data was inserted in the model and the turbocharger shaft speed was crosschecked against the calculated value. Adjustments in submodels were necessary to parameter estimation through minimizing of error found. The error decreased significantly, however it remained too high to be considered a reliable information for implementation in the controller's software / Mestrado / Eletrônica / Mestre em Engenharia Automobilistica

Les normes européennes EURO 5 / EURO 6 de réduction des émissions polluantes des véhicules automobile sont de plus en plus sévères. La boucle de recirculation des gaz d’échappement, dite boucle EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), est une solution de dépollution à la source car elle réduit les quantités émises d’oxydes d’azote et de particules de suie. Ce contexte entraîne une utilisation plus intensive de la boucle EGR, d’où une augmentation de son encrassement. Assurer la fiabilité de cette boucle est un enjeu important pour les constructeurs automobiles. Un montage expérimental dont on contrôle les conditions opératoires a été conçu pour recréer les dépôts observés dans l'échangeur EGR d'un moteur Diesel. Il permet de déterminer les paramètres pilotant la formation et l’évolution du dépôt d'encrassement, via une mesure de sa masse, une analyse de sa composition chimique et un suivi des transferts thermiques (thermocouples, caméra infra rouge) dans l’échangeur au cours du temps. / The EURO 5 and EURO 6 European norms on the vehicle pollutant emission reduction are stricter than the previous. The Exhaust Gas Recirculation system, also called as EGR system, is a solution for the remediation at source, because it reduces the quantity of emitted nitrogen oxides and soot particles. The resulting intensive use of the EGR system increases the fouling in the involved heat exchanger. Ensuring the reliability of the EGR system is an important challenge for car manufacturers. An experimental set-up, with controlled operating conditions, has been built to recreate the deposit observed in the EGR heat-exchanger of Diesel engines. It enables to determine the parameters driving the fouling deposit formation and evolution, via a weight measurement, a chemical composition analysis and a follow-up of the thermal transfer (thermocouples, IR camera) in the heat-exchanger over the time.

Ce travail présente un modèle orienté vers le développement d’un simulateur pour un moteur diesel marin. Dans le but d’avoir un simulateur qui répond aux besoins du moteur étudié au niveau de l’efficacité, la rapidité, et la prise en considération des défauts, le modèle étudié est basé sur des modélisations physiques, semi physique, empirique, mathématique et thermodynamique. Le modèle du moteur est divisé en plusieurs sous-modèles chacun présente un système réel, ces systèmes sont : le refroidissement, la lubrification, l’air, l’injection, la combustion et les émissions. Les sous-modèles et les caractéristiques dynamiques du chaque bloc sont conçus en respectant les équations principales du fonctionnement du moteur ainsi que les données expérimentales collectées du banc d’essai du moteur marin diesel fabriqué par la société SIMB sous la référence 6M26SRP1. Ce modèle a été implémenté sur Matlab/Simulink, et la simulation calcule les variables suivantes : pression, température, efficacité, échange de chaleur, angle de vilebrequin, débit du fuel et émissions, et ceci dans les différentes sous-blocs. Le simulateur est utilisé pour montrer la performance du moteur lors de l’occurrence des défauts et peut aider dans l’application des stratégies d’optimisation pour le dimensionnement, de diagnostic et de pronostic. / This work presents a simulator model of a marine diesel engine based on physical, semi-physical, mathematical and thermodynamic equations, allowing fast predictive simulations. The whole engine system is divided into several functional blocs: cooling, lubrication, air, injection, combustion and emissions. The sub-models and dynamic characteristics of individual blocs are established according to engine working principles equations and experimental data collected from a marine diesel engine test bench for SIMB Company under the reference 6M26SRP1. The overall engine system dynamics is expressed as a set of simultaneous algebraic and differential equations using sub-blocs and S-Functions of Matlab/Simulink. The simulation of this model, implemented on Matlab/Simulink has been validated and can be used to obtain engine performance, pressure, temperature, efficiency, heat release, crank angle, fuel rate, emissions at different sub-blocs. The simulator is used to study the engine performance in faulty conditions, and can be used also to assist marine engineers in FDI (fault detection and isolation) as well as designers to predict the behavior of the cooling system, lubrication system, injection system, combustion, emissions, in order to optimize the dimensions of different components.

La croissance mondiale, économique et industrielle, ainsi que la rapide progression démographique des populations, ont fait augmenter la demande en énergie fossile. Ces dernières années, beaucoup de recherches ont été orientées vers de nouvelles ressources énergétiques qui peuvent remplacer les carburants fossiles conventionnels. Les biocarburants sont des carburants écologiques renouvelables, obtenus grâce à la transformation des matières grasses animales et végétales. Ils sont classés en tant que ressource idéale, non-toxique et renouvelable, substituant avantageusement le Diesel conventionnel. Dans cette optique, nous nous sommes intéressés à la production des biocarburants à partir d’une source végétale, non alimentaire, très abondante dans le bassin méditerranéen, en l’occurrence le pistachier lentisque, par deux procédés, l’un est chimique appelé transestérification et l’autre est thermochimique, la solvolyse. Les caractérisations des biocarburants conformément aux normes en vigueur, ont montré que les propriétés physico-chimiques sont comparables à celles du Diesel conventionnel. Un moteur Diesel monocylindre refroidi à l'air, a été utilisé pour évaluer les caractéristiques de la combustion de ces biocarburants, à 1500 tr/min, sous diverses conditions de charges du moteur. Les caractéristiques de la combustion (pression du cylindre, délai d’auto-inflammation, taux de dégagement de chaleur et durée de combustion) des biocarburants obtenus, sont comparées à celles du Diesel conventionnel. / The world economic and industrial growths, as well as the demographic rapid progression, have increased the fossil energy demand. These last years, much of researches were directed towards new energy resources which can replace the conventional fossil fuels. The biofuels are renewable ecological fuels derived from biomass; they are classified as an ideal resource, non-toxic and renewable component with respect to the conventional Diesel. In this context, we were firstly interested to the production of the biofuels starting from a non-edible vegetable source widely available in the Mediterranean basin which is the Pistacia Lentiscus using two processes. The first one is a chemical method named “transesterification” and the second one is a thermochemical procedure called “solvolysis”. The biofuels physicochemical properties, measured via standard methods, are similar to those of Diesel fuel. A single cylinder, naturally aspirated DI Diesel engine is operated at 1500 rpm with either pure produced biofuels or their blends with Diesel fuel for several ratios (50, 30 and 5 v%) and engine load conditions. The combustion parameters, their blends are compared with those of Diesel fuel.

From the last decades of the 20th century, internal combustion engines have undergone a continuous improvement process aimed to the increase of their efficiency and decrease of the pollutants emissions. The reduction of the availability of fossil fuel and the increase of human-made pollution observed in the last decades is leading worldwide to more stringent emission standards that make the engine manufacturers to constantly look for fuel consumption and emission reductions while keeping engine performance. To comply with current and incoming emission regulations, the exhaust line of internal combustion engines has been gradually complicated by the presence of aftertreatment systems. Among them, the particulate filter is the device in charge of abating the emission of soot in the atmosphere. Concerning compression ignition engines, diesel particulate filters (DPF) were first commercially utilized in significant numbers in passenger car and heavy-duty engines since the beginning of the 21st century. Euro 6 emission standards limits the emitted particulate matter from direct injection engines, thus extending the use of particulate filters also to direct injection gasoline engines. A deep knowledge of the phenomena happening inside the DPF is required for the correct understanding of the behaviour of this system and its interaction with the engine. The precise knowledge of the filtration and pressure drop processes is mandatory for the design of the particulate filter and is also essential to wisely think up and analyse solutions aimed to limit the negative impact of the filter on the fuel consumption maintaining its capability of retaining soot particles. Thus, the present work pretends to provide a contribution to the understanding of these phenomena in wall-flow DPFs. The problem has been faced on a computational and experimental basis. A notable part of the work was dedicated to the development and validation of a one-dimensional DPF filtration model to be coupled with the existing pressure drop model. The model was implemented in OpenWAM¿, the open-source gas dynamics software for internal combustion engines and components computation developed at CMT - Motores Térmicos. The developed computational tool was applied to the assessment of the aftertreatment (DOC&DPF) volume downsizing potential in post- and pre-turbo aftertreatment configuration. The study is completed with experimental analysis to support theoretical insights discussing how the soot deposition profile and the particulate layer properties impact on the DPF pressure drop. / Desde las últimas décadas del siglo XX, se ha producido un proceso de mejora continua de los motores de combustión interna alternativos con el fin de aumentar su eficiencia y reducir las emisiones contaminantes. La reducción de la disponibilidad de combustibles fósiles y el incremento de la polución de origen antropogénico observados en las ultimas décadas ha provocado el progresivo endurecimiento de las normativas anticontaminación a nivel mundial obligando a los fabricantes de motores a buscar la reducción continua del consumo de combustible y emisiones, manteniendo las prestaciones del motor. El cumplimiento de las actuales y futuras normativas anticontaminación requiere de la instalación de diversos sistemas de postratamiento de gases en la línea de escape de los motores de combustión interna alternativos, aumentando su complejidad. Entre estos sistemas, el filtro de partículas es el equipo encargado de la reducción de la emisión de hollín a la atmósfera. Con respeto a los motores de encendido por compresión, los filtros de partículas diésel se implementaron por primera vez de forma masiva en vehículos de pasajeros y vehículos pesados a principio del siglo XXI. La normativa anti contaminación Euro 6 limita las emisiones de partículas de los motores de inyección directa, extendiendo el uso de filtros de partículas a los motores de inyección directa de gasolina. Es necesario tener un conocimiento profundo de los fenómenos que tienen lugar en el DPF para comprender el comportamiento de este sistema y su interacción con el motor. El conocimiento de los procesos de filtrado y perdida de presión es vital para el diseño del filtro de partículas y resulta esencial para encontrar y analizar soluciones que ayuden a limitar el impacto negativo del DPF sobre el consumo de combustible sin perder la capacidad de retener partículas de hollín. En este contexto, este trabajo pretende aportar una contribucción a la comprensión de estos fenómenos en filtros de partículas de flujo de pared. Esta tarea se ha planteado desde un punto de vista computacional y experimental. Parte importante de este trabajo ha consistido en el desarrollo y validación de un modelo de filtrado unidimensional de DPF que se ha acoplado con el modelo de caida de presión ya existente. El modelo se ha implementado en OpenWAM¿, el software de libre acceso para el cálculo fluidodinámico de motores de combustión interna y sus componentes desarrollado en CMT - Motores Térmicos. La herramienta computacional desarrollada se ha aplicado a la evaluación del potencial de reducción de volumen de sistemas de postratamiento (DOC&DPF) en configuraciones post- y pre-turbo. Este estudio se ha completado con un análisis experimental para dar respaldo a los conceptos teóricos empleados discutiendo como el perfil de deposición del hollín y las propiedades de la capa de partículas afectan a la perdida de presión del DPF. / Des les últimes dècades del segle XX, s'ha produït un procés de millora contínua dels motors de combustió interna alternatius amb l'objectiu d'augmentar la seua eficiència i reduir les emissions contaminants. La reducció de la disponibilitat de combustibles fòssils i l'increment de la polució d'origen antropòlogic observats en les últimes dècades ha provocat que les normatives anticontaminació s'han fet més rígides a nivell mundial, obligant als fabricants de motors a buscar la reducció contínua del consum de combustibles i emissions, mantenint les prestacions dels motors. El cumpliment de les normes anticontaminació actuals i futures, requereixen de l'instalació de diversos sistemes de post-tractament de gasos a l'eixida dels motors de combustió interna alternatius, llavors augmentant la complexitat. Entre aquestos sistemes, el filtre de partícules es l'equip encarregat de la reducció de les partícules de sutge a l'atmosfera. Respecte als motors d'encès per compressió, els filtres de partícules van instalar-se de manera massiva als vehicles de passatgers i vehicles pesats al principi del segle XXI. La normativa anti contaminació Euro 6 limita les emissions de partícules dels motors d'inyecció directa, estenent l'ús del filtre de partícules als motors d'injecció directa de gasolina. És necessari tindre un coneixement dels fenòmens que tenen lloc al DPF per a comprendre el comportament del sistema i la seua interacció amb el motor. El coneixement dels processos de filtrat i la pèrdua de pressió és vital per al diseny del filtre de partícules i resulta essencial per a trobar i analitzar les solucions que ajuden a limitar l'impacte negatiu del DPF sobre el consum de combustible sense perdre la capacitat de retenir partícules de sutge. En aquest context, el projecte pretén aportar una contribució a la comprensió d'aquestos fenòmens en els filtres de partícules de flux de paret. Aquesta feina s'ha plantejat des d'un punt de vista computacional i experimental. Part important d'aquest treball ha consistit en el desenvolupament i validació d'un model de filtrat unidimensional de DPF que s'ha acoplat a un model de pèrdua de pressió existent.

Plenty of designing works focused on railway technology were made through the time. But the majority of them are concerned with high-speed trains or at least express train locomotives, but works devoted to design freight or shunting locomotives can be barely found. This diploma thesis is looking into nearly unexplored territory and finding out, which possibilities in the design of shunting locomotives of independent traction do exist, and find better solutions then those currently used, where possible and appropriate. The result of this master thesis work is design of shunting locomotive, which respects the requirements of railway standards, ergonomics and safety, and still brings in modern design solutions.

Thermal oil oxidation is an important reason for the engine oil degradation in trucks. Having a comprehensive model that includes all the influential factors while it is feasible for being implemented in the ECUs, was aimed for this work. Therefore, the chemical investigating of the problem leaded to propose a first kinetic model and its thermal analysis caused modelling the oil thermal behaviour. The latter was developed for four compartments: Bearings, turbocharger, piston cooling and oil sump in the oil path through the lubrication system, because the highest oil temperature happens due to friction, combustion of fuels and exhaust gas transportation. Independency from the design parameters of the compartments and simplicity of models for the ECU implementation caused to investigate two various modelling hybrid approach: physical modelling and control theory approach. The first one was done for the bearings and piston cooling, and showed a high level of complexity leading to switch to the second approach. The latter was applied for all compartments while it satisfied requested requirements. To adjust and evaluate the models, an experimental campaign was devoted to acquiring the needed parameters with consideration of the project budget. Also using the previous simulation and experimental efforts at the company provided a possibility to develop flow rate sub-models used in the thermal modelling. The proposed model for all compartments, well predicted the oil thermal behaviour for both stationary and dynamic operating conditions. A comparison between the experimental data for the oil in the oil sump and turbo charger was done to show the reliability of the related models in both stationary and transient statuses. For the bearings, the simulation data for stationary condition were applied as a reference. The modelled oil temperature after piston cooling was compared to a set of experimental data that presented the probable temperature in some conditions close to stationary operating points.
