Fernando is a IC student in Italy ... the country of engines.
He is working hard on his thesis but he founded time to present his personal project :
- a 4 stroke simulation software.

At now , it is a small exe that create a collection of output files from classical inputs but you must imagine what is behind this.
I suppose a lot of theory and programming job :

papers ... (too strong for me)

INPUTS :
-Basics : Bore , Stroke ...
-Combustion : Ignition , A/F ratio ...
-valves lift , flow coefficient ...
-engine speed range ...

valve coefficients :


mass fraction burn :


OUTPUTS : some of them

Power :


PV diagram :


Pollutants : No rate ...


Unburnt mass fraction :


Fernando promissed for the next version to add full ducts calculations. Waiting the up-date , the author will appreciate your comments on accuracy and stablity of the first version.
Have fun.
