perature during the heat transfer process <strong>and</strong> will have a direct influence on the total heat<br />

transferred through Eq. 4.3.34.<br />

4.3.5 Internal heat loss by fuel vaporization<br />

Fuel is vaporized during the closed cycle. For the spark-ignition engine it normally occurs<br />

during compression <strong>and</strong> prior to combustion. For the compression-ignition it occurs during<br />

combustion.<br />

Fuel vaporization for the spark-ignition engine<br />

Let it be assumed that the cylinder mass trapped is mt <strong>and</strong> the scavenging efficiency is SE,<br />

with an air-fuel ratio, AFR. The masses <strong>of</strong> trapped air, mta, <strong>and</strong> fuel, mtf, are given by:<br />

mta = mtSE <strong>and</strong> mtf = —-&- (4.3.36)<br />

AFR<br />

If the crankshaft interval between trapping at exhaust port closing <strong>and</strong> the ignition point is<br />

declared as Gvap, <strong>and</strong> is the crankshaft interval over which fuel vaporization is assumed to<br />

occur linearly, then the rate <strong>of</strong> fuel vaporization with respect to crankshaft angle, rhvap, is<br />

given by:<br />

mVap=^ iL kg/deg (4337)<br />

D vap<br />

Consequently, the loss <strong>of</strong> heat from the cylinder contents, §Qvap, f° r an y given crankshaft<br />

interval, d9, is found by the employment <strong>of</strong> the latent heat <strong>of</strong> vaporization <strong>of</strong> the fuel, hvap.<br />

Numerical values <strong>of</strong> latent heat <strong>of</strong> vaporization <strong>of</strong> various fuels are to be found in Table 4.1.<br />

S Qvap = m vap h vap d0 (4-3.38)<br />

It should be noted that this equation provides a "positive" number for this heat loss, in<br />

similar fashion to the application <strong>of</strong> Eq. 4.3.34.<br />

Fuel vaporization for the compression-ignition engine<br />

Let it be assumed that the cylinder mass trapped is mt <strong>and</strong> the charge purity is II, with an<br />

overall air-fuel ratio, AFR. The masses <strong>of</strong> trapped air, mta, <strong>and</strong> fuel, mtf, are given by:<br />

,-r , m ta<br />

mta = nmt <strong>and</strong> mtf = —^ (4.4.39)<br />

ArK<br />

The crankshaft angle interval over which combustion occurs is defined as b°. Fuel vaporization<br />

is assumed to occur as each packet <strong>of</strong> fuel, dmbe, is burned over a time interval <strong>and</strong> is<br />

related to the mass fraction burned at that juncture, Be , at a crankshaft angle, 0b, from the<br />

onset <strong>of</strong> the combustion process. Let it be assumed that an interval <strong>of</strong> combustion is occurring<br />
