    The digital simulation of a turbo-charged diesel engine
    (College of Aeronautics, 1969) Shroff, H. D.; Hodgetts, D.
    A mathematical simulation of a six cylinder four stroke water cooled diesel engine is described and then used to study the changes in performance caused by variations of engine paramters and operating conditions. The results are discussed with reference to the mathematical model employed and the physical system. A limited study, to demonstrate the applicability of the simulation, considers the optimisation of a variable geometry system to achieve a performance target.

    Report to the worshipful company of coachmakers and harnessmakers. The digital simulation of a turbo-charged diesel engine
    (College of Aeronautics, 1968-05) Shroff, H. D.
    A mathematical simulation of a, four stroke six cylinder turbo-charged diesel engine vas used to study the changes in performance caused by the variation of engine parameters and operating conditions. The principle variables were turbocharger size combustion timing and turbocharer bearing friction. The effect of these and other factors are tabulated and discussed. The results were explained in terms of the mathematical model employed and by comparison with the physical system. The results suggest that the mathematical model behaves sensibly, in most cases, but that further development is required in order to incorporate the refinements which are necessary for an accurate simulation.
