Abstract

This study conducted a simulation to observe the performance of a multi-turbocharged gasoline internal combustion engine for a high-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (HALE UAV). The WAVE 1-D engine simulation software from Ricardo was used for the engine system modeling and simulation. The specifications of a 2.4-L four cylinder gasoline engine from commercial vehicles and maps of commercial vehicle turbochargers were applied to the multi-stage turbocharged engine system model. Three turbochargers and intercoolers were installed in series for the appropriate intake of pressure for the gasoline engine at a high altitude of 60,000 ft. There was one wastegate for the turbochargers. The operability of the engine system was analyzed via this simulation model.

고고도 장기체공 무인기의 추진 시스템에 다단 터보차저 가솔린 왕복기관 시스템의 적합성을 평가하기 위하여 성능 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다. Ricardo사의 1-D 엔진 시뮬레이션 WAVE를 사용하여 다단 터보차저를 포함한 엔진 시스템을 모델링하였다. 엔진 모델은 양산 2.4L 가솔린 4기통 엔진의 제원을 반영하였다. 터보차저 모델에는 상용 터보차저의 성능 맵을 적용하였다. 고도 60,000ft에서 엔진의 적정 흡기 압력을 확보하기 위해 3단 터보차저 및 인터쿨러를 구성하였다. 웨이스트 게이트는 하나로 구성하였다. 이를 통해 지상부터 고고도까지의 엔진 시스템 정상 상태 운전성을 평가하였다.
