| description | Abstract It is interesting to improve engine system performance with turbocharger technologies. In this study, a systematic simulation for engine and turbocharger matching to provide full utilization of the turbocharger potential and improve the engine performance without sacrificing the emission is developed. A velocity ratio concept was proposed to count the turbocharger performance impacts due to the diameter ratio of compressor and turbine wheels. A design of experiments was used to optimize the turbocharger and engine performance for different turbocharger factors. A better‐matched turbocharger was obtained. A multidisciplinary optimization method was used to design a mixed flow turbine wheel to reduce the turbine velocity ratio at peak efficiency and increase the overall turbocharger efficiency. Results showed that about 0.4% torque improvements and 1.2% reductions in the engine brake‐specific fuel consumption were obtained without making any other changes to the engine. This study demonstrated that systematic simulations for engine systems and considering turbocharger wheel diameter ratio effects could further improve the turbocharged engine system matching and the engine performance. |
