Introduction
Internal combustion engines are essential in todays transportation. Many investigations have been conducted over the last several decades in order to improve their efficiencies. This paper
focuses on the shape of the combustion and the corresponding
sensitivities to the efficiency.
Ideal engine cycles are analyzed in the classical literature [1,2].
No heat losses are considered here, and compression and expansion are assumed to be isentropic. The maximum efficiency for a
constant configuration can be achieved with the constant volume
cycle.
In Ref. [3], the optimal piston motion is derived applying optimal control theory to a model with friction losses and with a heat
leakage proportional to the temperature difference between working fluid and cylinder walls. Constraints on acceleration, deceleration, and cycle time have also been considered. In Ref. [4], the
effects of finite combustion rates are considered furthermore.
Numerous publications have used the second law of thermodynamics in their analysis. Literature reviews of second-law
analyses applied to internal combustion engines are given in
Refs. [5,6]. The second law of thermodynamics can be used to
determine the maximum possible performance of thermal systems
and to identify the sources for availability destruction. The entropy generation of an adiabatic ICE is minimized in Ref. [7] with
respect to the piston velocity using Pontryagins Minimum Principle. Those authors showed that the maximization of the expansion
work cannot be solved analytically with the same principles. In
Ref. [8] radiative heat transfer is also considered. The effect of the

The analyzed parameters are the cylinder volume, the stroke bore
ratio, the compression ratio, the wall temperature, the fuel-to-air
ratio, and the outbreak of the combustion.
In Ref. [17], the influence of variable heat capacities of the
working fluid on the performance of a Diesel heat engine is analyzed. The dependence of the heat capacities on the temperature is
approximated as an affine function. A more realistic approach for
the heat capacities using a polynomial approximation of the heat
capacities is presented in Refs. [18] and [19]. A spark ignition
engine is analyzed in Ref. [18] and a compression ignition engine
is analyzed in Ref. [19].
In Ref. [20], a zero-dimensional, single-zone model is presented
that includes temperature dependent specific heats and heat losses
through the walls. The heat release rate is modeled according to a
modified Vibe function. The influence of engine speed, injection
timing, and compression ratio on the performance is analyzed.
Compared to the literature, we maximize the mechanical work
of an ICE under consideration of the following constraints:
(1) The maximum pressure is restricted to a given value pmax
in order to avoid causing any mechanical damage.
(2) The pressure gradient is limited in order to minimize the
combustion noise.
(3) Knocking has to be avoided.
The mechanical work Wmech is given as
Wmech dW p dV
can be divided into single-zone or multi-zone models. In this paper, a two-zone model is derived that is also able to predict knocking. The gas properties of the different gases in the cylinder are
polynomials in the temperature T. The instantaneous mixture
depending on the burn progress is considered.
Figure 1 shows the system boundaries and the corresponding
flows of energy and mass. The details of the process simulation
used including heat losses dQw/dt through the walls are given in

The elimination of the knock state is possible because the stateupdate functions (45) and (46) for pk and xb,k are independent of
the knock state Ik. Dynamic programming is used to solve the
problem presented in Eqs. (63)(68). Let U dp k be the associated
optimal input sequence as a function of k.

This interpretation of the results motivates the analysis presented in Sec. 4.3, where a more realistic burn rate with fewer
degrees of freedom is compared to that obtained with the arbitrary
combustion.
4.2 Sensitivity on the Vibe Parameters. The same operating
point as in Sec. 4.1 above is considered, namely an engine speed
of 2000 rpm and a pressure p1 2 bar.
Figure 4 shows the sensitivities of the Vibe parameters on the
maximum possible efficiency, illustrated if one parameter is kept
constant in each case. The form parameter mv shows the least

influence over a broad range, where the maximum possible efficiency is almost constant. But small values of mv lead to high heat
release rates at the beginning of the combustion, which delays the
combustion in order to meet the maximum pressure and pressure
gradient constraints. This delay of the combustion results in a
reduced efficiency. The first two subplots in Fig. 4 show that the
duration and the center of the combustion have the higher influence on the maximum possible efficiency.
Figure 5 shows the maximum possible efficiencies as a function
of /c and /d , limited by the three constraints. The form factor is
kept constant as mv 4, which is a reasonable value (see Fig. 4).
Depending on the operating point, different constraints may be
active. For the operating point shown, the knock constraint and
the pressure gradient constraint are active if the best possible center and duration of combustion are chosen.
It should be mentioned that the best efficiency can only be
reached if the center and the duration of the combustion can be
chosen arbitrarily.
4.3 Comparison Between Vibe and Arbitrary Combustion.
The wide range of operating points of the internal combustion
engine is investigated in this section. The Vibe combustion with
optimized parameters is benchmarked against the optimal arbitrary combustion. Figure 6 shows the comparison for 2000 rpm
and 5000 rpm, whereas the load is varied from pmi 5 bar to
pmi 25 bar. This variation of operating points represents slow
and fast engine speeds, as well as low and high torques. The constraints used are given in case (iii) of Table 1. The indicated mean
effective pressure for an engine with the displacement volume Vd
is given as

where no feasible configuration is possible due to knocking
and pressure-gradient limitations (see Fig. 5).

The index i in mi, ui, and cv,i stands for the various components

specific heat. There are two gases assumed to be in the cylinder,
