Knock Prediction with Reduced Reaction Analysis
In the report a model using a reduced reaction analysis has
been used to see if it is possible to predict knock. The model
is based on n-heptane combustion, but it is used for iso-octane. The
model was supposed to be able to adapt to different fuels, but it
is shown to be unable to do so. Further, the model has been compared
to an existing method for predicting knock, known as knock index, to
see if any improvements could be made.
When comparing the model to the knock index, it has shown that no
big advantages can be found using the new model. It is more time
consuming and is not able to work with simulated input, instead of
measured. It can however predict if knock occurs with a good
reliability, but compared to the knock index it is not an improvement.}
