Abstract

To protect our health and environment from pollution, among others regulatory agencies in the

European Union (EU) and legislation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has

required that pollutants produced by diesel engines - such as nitrogen oxides (NOx),

hydrocarbons (HC) and particulate matter (PM) - be reduced.

The key emission reduction and control technologies available for NOx control on Diesel

engines are combination of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Selective Catalytic Reduction

(SCR).

SCR addresses emission reduction through the use of Diesel Exhuast Fluid (DEF), which has a

trade-name AdBlue. Which is 32.5% high purity urea and 67.5% deionized water, Adblue in the

hot exhaust gas decomposes into ammonia (NH3) which then reacts with surface of the catalyst

to produce harmless nitrogen(N2) and water (H20).

Highest NOx conversion ratios while avoiding ammonia slip is achieved by Efficient SCR and

accurate Urea Dosing System it’s therefore critical we model and simulate the UDS in order to

analyze and gain holistic understanding of the UDS dynamic behavior.

The process of Modeling and Simulating of Urea Dosing System is a result of a compromise

between two opposing trends. Firstly, one needs to use as much mathematical models as it takes

to correctly describe the fundamental principles of fluid dynamics such as, (1) mass is conserved

(2), Newton’s second law and (3) energy is conserved, secondly the model needs to be as simple

as possible, in order to express a simple and useful picture of real systems.

Numerical model for the simulation of Urea Dosing System is implemented in GT Suite®

environment, it is complete UDS Model (Hydraulic circuit and Dosing Unit) and it stands out

for its ease of use and simulation fastness, The UDS model has been developed and validated

using as reference Hilite Airless Dosing System at the ATC Lab, results provided by the model

allow to analyze the UDS pump operation, as well the complete system, showing the trend of

some important parameters which are difficult to measure such as viscosity, density, Reynolds

number and giving plenty of useful information to understand the influence of the main design

parameters of the pump, such as volumetric efficiency, speed and flow relations.

1 Introduction

1.1 Background

The modern Diesel engine is one of the most versatile power sources available for mobile

applications. The high fuel economy and torque of the Diesel engine has long resulted in global

application for heavy-duty applications [1].

However, the demand for Diesel vehicles can only be realized if their exhaust emissions meet the

increasingly stringent emissions standards being introduced around the world, below is chart

showing progression of European emission standards [2].

Figure 1: Euro emission standards [3]

2

1.1.1 Exhaust after-treatment system

Achieving future emissions legislation is a challenge for all engine manufacturers, in order to

comply with emission standards engine manufacturers use different technologies and techniques,

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is a well-established technique to reduce NOx emissions

from diesel engines. For stationary applications ammonia can be used as a reductant. For mobile

applications the ammonia is generated from an aqueous urea solution, AdBlue, Compared to

other technologies, such as exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and NOx-adsorbers, SCR has shown

to better fuel economy since a more advanced timing of the diesel injection can be used. It is

often combined with other technologies to meet specifications on both NOx and PM [4]. Scania

uses a combination of different technologies as shown in figure 2.

The upstream NOx sensor, diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), full-flow diesel particulate filter

(DPF), AdBlue mixer, twin parallel SCR catalysts, ammonium slip catalyst (ASC) and

downstream NOx sensor are all integrated in the compact silencer unit. The temperature (°C) is

measured all the way up to the catalysts, and the pressure drop (ΔP) across the DPF is monitored

to assess the status of the filter [3].

Figure 2: Scania’s Euro 6 Aftertreatment system [3]

1.1.2 Urea Dosing System

The UDS is a critical sub-system in Urea-SCR reduction system, it is important to explain

system functionality before we start modeling and simulating of the UDS. In this section we will

explain Scania’s Airless Dosing System shown below.

Figure 3: Scania’s Urea Dosing System [5]

The supply unit sucks the urea water solution form the tank, pressurizes and filters it and delivers

it to the dosing unit. By adapting the motor speed, the pump regulates the system pressure to a

constant value of approximately 9-10 bar [6].

The dosing unit gathers the current state of the system doses the required amount of urea and

sprays it into the exhaust gas stream [6].

1.2 Purpose

The Goal of this thesis is to implement following three steps:

1.2.1 Modeling and Simulation: we will show simplified representation of UDS to

promote understanding of the real system, then we will execute model over time and will

observe system behavior by focusing on the following parameters:

Parameters of interest are:

• Line Pressure of 9-10 bar

• Flow rate when no injection 150g/min

• Dosing Unit mass flow rate 50g/min

1.2.2 Verification: we will make sure that step 1.2.1 is implemented accurately and

specifications that the model was designed to is achieved (e.g. right flow, pressure, and

dosing unit mass flow rate)

1.2.3 Validation: we will see the degree to which our model is an accurate representation

of the real UDS from the perspective of the practical application of the model

1.3 Delimitation

In This thesis we will model, simulate, verify and validate Urea Dosing System, the model will

be validated with real system data, we will also analyze dynamics of selected parameters, the

model validation will be limited to with one data set where Adblue injection is 50g/minute.

1.4 Method

We will start with basic physical principles of fluid motion such as conservation of mass, and

conservation of moment, we will present incompressible Navier Stokes partial differential

equations which link to the problem.

We will derive some simple yet effective mathematical models for circular cross section hoses

Hagen-Poiseuille Law, and well known Euler’s and Bernoulli equation, we will use GT suite

v7.3.0 , GT suite provides solution to the Navier Stokes equations we mentioned above (such as

conservation of mass momentum and energy ) [7] finally will analyze some selected parameters

of interest.

2 Theory

2.1 Modeling of the Flow

The fundamental governing equations of fluid dynamics is to find the velocity field describing

the flow in a given domain [8] This section of the thesis we will discuss mathematical equations

of the three basic equations of fluid flow, which all fluid dynamics is based [9].

Conversation of Mass

Conservation of Momentum

Conservation of Energy

These fundamental flow principles can be expressed in terms of mathematical equations mainly

these equations are partial differential equations [9] in this thesis we will not cover conservation

of energy as this is beyond scope of the thesis.

2.2 The continuum hypothesis

In simple terms this says that when dealing with fluids we can ignore the fact that fluid consists

of microscopic individual molecules or atoms, and instead we treat the properties of that region

as if it were a continuum [10] by applying to this assumption we may treat any fluid property as

varying continuously from one point to the next within the fluid; this hypothesis leads us to study

of fluid dynamics at macroscopic scale [10][8].

2.3 Conservation of mass

We use the term Conserved which means constant or unchanged. We can therefore say that mass

neither is created nor destroyed.

2.3.1 Continuity equation

One of the main principles used in the analysis of uniform flow is known as the Continuity of

Flow. This principle is mathematically derived from the fact that regardless of the pipeline

complexity or direction of flow mass is conserved in fluid systems

We consider V bounded by a surface S fixed in space. This mass inside it is given by 𝜌𝑉

𝑑𝑉

Figure 4: Finite control fixed in space [9]

We can say that rate of decrease of mass in

𝑉 = −𝑑

𝑑𝑡 𝜌𝑉

𝑑𝑉 = − 𝜌𝑉

𝜕𝜌

𝜕𝑡𝑑𝑉 (1)

The rate of external mass flux across any small element dS of S is ρ v ・ dS where the

magnitude of dS is equal to the element’s area and we take dS along the outward normal. By

integrating over the complete surface we have [8] rate of mass flux out of

𝑉 = 𝜌𝐯. 𝑑𝑆 =

𝑆

𝛻・(

𝑉

𝜌𝐯)𝑑 (2)

By applying Green’s formula to convert to a volume integral [8]. The integrand 𝜵・ 𝝆𝒗 on the

RHS is can be expressed in Cartesian coordinates x = 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 , and v =(𝑢, 𝑣, 𝑤) as

𝛻・ 𝜌𝑣 =𝜕 𝜌𝑢

𝜕 𝜌𝑣

𝜕 𝜌𝑤

Equation 3 was written in the Cartesian coordinates system, Cartesian coordinates have fewest

numbers of terms and these coordinates are compact compared to the other coordinate systems,

for simplicity in this thesis we will only use Cartesian coordinate system.

Figure 5: Mass entering and leaving an element [8]

For mass to be conserved everywhere, Equations 1 and 2 must be equal for any volume V and so

we obtain the continuity equation [8].

𝜕𝜌

𝜕𝑡+ 𝛻・ 𝜌𝐯 = 0 (4)

Equation 4 is the local form of the continuity equation different forms of the continuity equation

can be found [9][11].

2.3.2 The material derivative

The total rate of change D/DT is called material derivative also substantial or particle derivative

where 𝐷

𝐷𝑡≡

𝜕

𝜕𝑥+ 𝑽 ∙ 𝛁. This defines the material (or substantive) derivative, if we say

𝜕𝑓

𝜕𝑡 we

might be interested the rate of change of f at particular point that is fixed in space or we might be

interested the rate change of f in a given element of fluid as it moves along trajectory where x =

x(t) [8].

We can interpret equation 5 that any given element can suffer changes in f (v ・ ∇ f) as it moves

from one place to other. Where 𝜕𝑓

𝜕𝑡= 0 [8] we therefore obtain the continuity equation

𝐷𝜌

𝐷𝑡+ 𝜌∇. v = 0 (6)

Which also can be rewritten in the form of

𝜕𝜌

𝜕𝑡+ 𝐯 ∙ ∇𝜌 + 𝜌∇ ∙ 𝐯 =

𝜕𝜌

𝜕𝑡+ ∇ ∙ 𝜌𝐯 = 0 (7)

For simplicity we neglect the compressibility of fluid by saying that ρ = constant, independent

of space and time, Thus, the continuity equation for incompressible flow is

∇ ∙ 𝐯 = 0 (8)

Which can be written in Cartesian coordinate system

𝜕𝑤

𝜕𝑧= 0 (9)

Equation 9 is the continuity equation for incompressible flow whether the flow is steady or

unsteady.

2.4 Conservation of moment To model the flow we apply Newton’s second law, which states that the rate of change of change

of momentum of a body is equal to the net force acting on it [13] where m is the mass, V is

velocity, and F is sum of the forces acting on it

material derivative [13]

There are two forces acting on the fluid element namely, body forces and surface forces:

Body forces. they act directly on volumetric mass for the fluid element, such gravity

[13][9]

Surface forces. which are pressure and friction forces [13]

The Newton’s second law can be written for a fluid element of unit volume [13]

If the following is not true any small fluid will lead to infinite angular acceleration[8]

Detailed discussions about the shear and normal stress can be found [9][11][13][14]

𝝉ij is the force per unit area in the i direction across a plane with normal in the j direction[8]

normal stress is denoted by 𝝉𝒙𝒙 and shear stress is denoted by 𝝉𝒙𝒚 [9].

2.4.1 Constitutive relations

The surface stresses [𝝉𝒊𝒋] on any element arise from a combination of pressure p and viscous

friction, as shown by the constitutive relations [8].

Where 𝝁 is the coefficient of dynamic viscosity and 𝝀 is a coefficient of bulk viscosity, in these

equations relationship between stress and velocity is linear and isotropic.

11

2.4.2 Navier-Stokes equations

Relationship between pressure, density, velocity and temperature of a fluid flow is well

expressed by the Navier-Stokes equations, these equations are extension of Euler’s equations and

cover flow viscosity, theses equations are partial differential equations and are very difficult to

solve analytically, here we will discuss incompressible flow where we already know that

constant density will lead us to Equation 9 where 𝛁 ∙ 𝑽 = 𝟎, incompressible fluid model will be

quite accurate approximation where the velocity is much smaller than speed.

Kronecker’s delta cases 𝛿𝑖𝑗 = 1 𝑖𝑓 𝑖 = 𝑗0 𝑖𝑓 𝑖 ≠ 𝑗

Constitutive relations becomes

𝜏𝑖𝑗 = − 𝑝 𝛿𝑖𝑗 + 𝜇 𝜕𝑢𝑖

𝜕𝑢𝑗

To get into the Navier-Stokes equations we have to make some assumptions such as,

incompressible flow 𝛁 ∙ 𝑽 = 𝟎, constantant density 𝜌, and constant viscosity 𝜇 and this will lead

us to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, detailed disucssions of the Naveir-Stokes

equations can be found [9] and [11] Continuity equation is

2.5 Poiseuille Flow

Since Urea Dosing System has pressure-driven flow in circular cross section hoses it is important

to have mathematical model that can express the relationship between the pressure gradient in

the hose, flow rate in the hose, diameter of the hose, length of the hose and viscosity of the

liquid, the model which describes all these relations is called Hagen-Poiseille model which will

be derived here with some assumptions.

2.5.1 Hagen-Poiseuille Law

To derive Hagen-Poiseuille equation we will make some assumptions as:

Laminar flow

Constant viscosity

Straight pipe

𝑝1 − 𝑝2 =8𝜇𝑉

𝑟02 𝐿 =

32𝜇𝑉

𝐷2𝐿 (25)

Derivation of the above equation is available on appendix D

13

All disciplines of engineering are based on sets of fundamental laws or relations, Eelectrical

engineering relies on Kirchhoff’s laws, mechanical engineering on Newton’s law,

electromagnetic on Faraday’s and Lenz law, fluid on continuity and Bernoulli’s law, these laws

are to predict behavior of system [15], alternatively one can use model by analogy in order to

model the UDS pump and hydraulic hoses this research has been by done [16][17][18] and

supplementary reading can be found [19][20]

𝜕𝑤

𝜕𝑧 + 𝑔 (27)

And two-dimensional continuity equation is

𝜕𝑢

𝜕𝑥+

𝜕𝑤

𝜕𝑧= 0 ( 28)

The Euler equations are simultaneous partial differential equations that are basic to the solution

of two-dimensional flow field problems[21]; solution of these equations yields p, u and w as

functions of x and z, we can predict the pressure and velocity at any point in the flow field [21].

Further explanations is available at Atil’s lecture notes [21][23].

As we have seen above Euler equations neglect the viscosity of the fluid which were included in

the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, solution of Euler equations is therefore only

approximations to real fluids problems, might be a good model for the thin airfoil, other

problems Euler equations do not model the problem accurately [22].

2.7 Bernouli’s Equation

Bernoulli’s equation will be derived by Integrating Euler equations for constant 𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝜌 23 derivation of the Bernouli equation is shown at appendix E.

By assuming steady-state, incompressible (constant density), in viscid, laminar flow in a

horizontal pipe (no change in height) with negligible frictional losses, Bernoulli's equation

reduces to an equation relating the conservation of energy between two points on the same

streamline, influence of the heights in Bernoulli’s equation is negligible[21].

Bernoulli equation assumptions might have plenty of assumptions, however these equations give

great insight about relations between pressure, velocity and elevation

Where Re is called Reynolds number, ρ is the fluid density, V is the fluid velocity, D is the pipe

2.8.1 Significance of Reynolds’s Number

Re less than 2000 indicates that flow is laminar. If Re is between 2000 and 4000, it shows a

transitional flow and Re greater than 4000 indicates turbulent flow

As shown above Reynolds number gives the ratio between inertial forces and viscous forces in

other words we can estimate which forces are dominant, whether we have laminar, translational

or turbulent.

Until now we have completed the mathematical representation of the fluid model, The Navier-

Stokes equations consists of a time-dependent continuity equation for conservation of mass,

three time-dependent conservation of momentum equations and a time-dependent conservation

of energy equation.

There are four independent variables in the problem, the x, y, and z spatial coordinates of some

domain, and the time t. There are six dependent variables; the pressure p, density r, and

temperature T (which is contained in the energy equation) and three components of the velocity

vector; the v component is in the x direction, the v component is in the y direction, and the w

component is in the z direction, All of the dependent variables are functions of all four

independent variables. The differential equations are therefore partial differential equations and

not the ordinary differential equations [22] We can say that analytical solutions of the Navier-

Stokes equations is not possible.[19].

3 Model Development

3.1 Model calibration

In the Model development section we will implement first and second step of the goal statement,

to make the model calibration easier the systems has been dived into the following section:

Hydraulic circuit (Supply unit)

Dosing unit

3.1.1 Hydraulic circuit model calibration Hydraulic circuit consists of a suction hose, two filters to remove dirt particles from the Adblue

liquid, Dc motor, positive displacement pump, and pressure relieve valve as shown below

3.1.1.1 Hydraulic circuit model simplification

Under normal operation the pressure relieve valve is closed and does effect the system

dynamics, therefore pressure relieve is not modeled.

Since we have divided the systems into two sections and simplified, we will be calibrating

hydraulic circuit, firstly we run the hydraulic circuit at steady-state with no injection to isolate

calibration of pump and orifice, running at 1050 rpm since that is the speed we have in the real

system data when there is no injection. In this situation, the system pressure is simply a function

of the pump outlet flow rate (displacement, volumetric efficiency, and speed) and the outlet

orifice size (diameter and discharge coefficient).

18

Figure 6: Hydraulic circuit [6]

3.2 GT-Suite model of hydraulic circuit

The hydraulic circuit consists of a urea tank, tank pick-up pipe, suction hose, dc motor, positive

displacement pump, pre-filter pipe, main filter, pressure hose, UDS volume, return restriction or

Throttle and return hose.

3.2.1 Positive Displacement Pump Model

This object is used to model a positive displacement pump, where the flow rate is more or less

linearly proportional to the speed of the pump [25] the pump model has the following equations:

Displacement per Revolution The ideal displacement of the pump per revolution, ignoring the

effects of leakage is calculated as

19

𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 = 𝐴𝑆

Where A is the cross sectional area and S pump stroke.

The Volumetric Efficiency of the pump. This value will be used to calculate the real flow rate

out of the pump, Q, using the equation below[25].

𝑄 = 𝜔𝐷𝜂𝑣𝑜𝑙

Where ω represents the pump speed, D represents the pump Displacement per Revolution, and

ηvol represents the Volumetric Efficiency [25].

Total (Isentropic) Efficiency the total efficiency of the pump. This value will be used to

calculate the power required to drive the pump. The relation used for the pump power, W, is

𝑊 =∆𝑃𝑚

𝜌𝜂𝑣𝑜𝑙

Where ΔP represents the static pressure rise between the inlet and outlet of the pump, ρ

represents the density at the inlet, ṁ represents the mass flow rate through the pump, and ηtotal

represents the pump Total (Isentropic) Efficiency [25].

3.2.2 Motor Model

Imposed Speed A constant value or the name of a dependency reference object specifying the

rotational speed [25] here we will use either imposed speed or dependency reference

Initial Angular Position Initial angle of the speed boundary at the start of simulation in our case

this was set to (“def”).

3.2.3 Pipes and Hoses Model

Round Pipe object is used to model pipes such as Tank Pick up pipe, Suction Hose Pump, Pre

filter Pipe, Urea Nozzle Pipe, and Return Hose, in this thesis all the pipes and hoses have a round

cross-section.

3.2.4 Filters and Return Restriction Pipe Model

Filters and restriction return pipe(throttle) was modeled by using “OrificConn” object which

describes an orifice placed between flow components. 'OrificeConn' connects flow components

[25].

20

3.2.5 Exhaust Pipe Ambient Model

Exhaust Pipe Ambient was modeled as “EndEnvironment” object describes end environment

boundary conditions of pressure, temperature, and composition [25].

3.2.6 UDS Volume Model

Spherical Flow Split object is used to model fluid volume and connected to Pressure hose, Urea

Nozzle pipe, and Return restriction pipe (throttle).

Figure 7: Pump, motor unit and main filter integrated into one unit (top) and GT-Suite hydraulic

circuit model

21

Figure 8: Hydraulic circuit line pressure

From above we can see that the model matches specifications such 9 –10 bar as shown, The

objective of sub-systems model calibration was to ensure that the implementation of the model is

correct.

3.3 Dosing unit model calibration

Dosing unit consists of pressure hose, dosing valve, throttle which manages the fluid flow by

constriction and backflow hose as shown below and a filter.

3.3.1 Dosing unit model simplification

We start with calibrating the dosing unit to get the right mass flow rate. So in sections 3.1-3.2,

we can see that we calibrate each part of the system separately. If we have problems with either,

it is much easier to pinpoint or identify the problem. We integrate the two calibrated and verified

sub-systems in to a single model and finally we validate the complete model.

22

Figure 9: Dosing unit [6]

3.4 GT-Suite model of Dosing Unit

Dosing unit consists of Signal Generator, Mathematic Equation, Pulse Width Modulator and

Gain block. Application of each block is available at GT-Suite template library [25].

Dosing unit receives the requested amount of Adblue to inject from the Engine Management

System(EMS) unit and calculates a corresponding opening time for the dosing unit, here will use

signal generator to act as EMS to request amount of Adblue to be dosed, the signal generator will

generate square wave form which will be fed into the math operation block, the math operation

object or the block uses the following expression to calculate the output signal which is the duty

cycle, (Math operation block, PWM block and Gain block stand for the EEC3)

𝐷𝑢𝑡𝑦 𝑐𝑦𝑐𝑙𝑒 = 𝐴𝑑𝑏𝑙𝑢𝑒

195100%

The above equation has one variable Adblue which is the amount of Adblue to be dosed and

constant value 195 which is the maximum allowable dosing we can therefore calculate the duty

cycle for 50g/min as

𝐷𝑢𝑡𝑦 𝑐𝑦𝑐𝑙𝑒 = 50

195100% = 25%

23

25 % duty cycle is the percentage of time that pulse is in the ON state as a fraction of the total

time then this if fed to a Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) object to produce an output signal that

is ON 25% and OFF 75% of the time (1 sec) which is named Dosing PWM , Gain block was

used to act as the dosing unit hole with diameter of 0.4mm below is the complete dosing unit

model.

Figure 10: Dosing Unit and Dosing Unit Model

24

Figure 11: Duty cycle for 50g/min

The injection volume is defined by the opening time of the valve. The valve opens once every

second. The duration of the “open time” defines the percentage of the maximum flow which is

injected at that specific cycle. Typical values for opening duty cycles lie somewhere between (2)

5-95 (100)% [6], for 50g/min duty cycle is 25% which is shown above figure

25

4 Model Validation

4.1 Complete UDS model validation

In the Model Validation section we would implement third step of the goal statement to

determine the degree to which our model is an accurate representation of the real UDS from the

perspective of the intended use of the model[26].

Validation data was collected from various sensors of the UDS, the collected data is available at

appendix G.

Figure 12: Urea Dosing System Model

26

4.1.1 Pump speed

When you look at the motor speed in the experimental data at appendix G you should notice that

the pump speed is 3500 rpm for less than 5 seconds, then pump speed drops off to steady speed

of 1050 rpm, as soon as the dosing starts the pump speed goes up to 1500 rpm and stays that

speed while the system is dosing, as soon as dosing stops the pump speed goes back to steady

speed of 1050 rpm, we can deduce from above statement that the real system does not use

constant speed.

To accurately model and have the model behave the same way as the real system we have

applied the same real pump speed data into the model, the real system pump speed signal is

shown here.

Figure 13: Pump speed

27

4.1.2 Requested Adblue injection

EEC3 is the control unit of the SCR-system and receives the requested amount of Adblue to be

injected from the EMS-unit and calculates opening time of the Dosing Unit [5]. The Requested

Adblue injection signal from the Signal Generator is shown below

Figure 14: Requested Adblue Injection

4.2 Pump pressure validation

When the diaphragm moves up the volume of pump chamber is increased, the pressure decreases

and we have 1 bar at the inlet and we call this suction mode, where Adblue is drawn into the

chamber. When the diaphragm moves down the pump chamber pressure increases from

decreased volume, the Adblue previously drawn in is forced out with high pressure of 9-10 bar

we call this discharge mode, so we have two modes suction mode with low pressure and

discharge mode with high pressure from this we can deduce that all our analysis will focus on the

high pressure side of the pump [27].

28

Figure 15: Inlet and outlet pump pressure

From the above figure you can see that the pump creates lower pressure (1 bar) at the inlet so

that Adblue can enter, and creates high pressure (10 bar) at the discharge to force Adblue at the

outlet, this indicates that the pump is operating according to specification given at the goal

statement.

4.3 Flow rate validation

We would decide whether or not the model has resulted in acceptable agreement with the real

system data, here we assess.

29

Figure 16: Flow rate validation

Form the above figure we can see that the pump has virtually constant flow except during

injection of urea, where the flow increases from 126g/min to 170g/min and is independent of the

system pressure, simulation flow rate is 126 g/min and UDS average flow rate is 150 g/min.

30

4.3 Dosing Unit Mass flow rate validation

Figure 17: UDS mass flow rate vs. Simulation mass flow rate

From the above Figure Dosing Unit vs. Simulation, where UDS Mass flow Rate is 50g/min and

Simulation is 48g/min, You may see that the simulation (blue lines) has thin rectangular pulses,

these pulses are the PWM pulses which has 25% Duty cycle and period of 1 second.

31

4.4 Line pressure validation

Figure 18: UDS vs Simulation

In Figure 18 The model pressure oscillations is not the same as the UDS pressure oscillations,

the pressure oscillations may be better modeled by using a higher discharge coefficient on the

simple nozzle model, it may also be necessary to model a more complete injector. It therefore

such suggested that to use a GTI compound template such as 'HoleTypeInj

32

5 Results and Discussions

5.1 System parameter analysis

In the model validation section UDS model has resulted acceptable agreement with real system

and as a result the model is sufficient for its intended use of system parameter analysis [26] here

we will analyze some important parameters and discuss the results

5.1.1 Volumetric efficiency

Volumetric efficiency of the positive displacement pump is calculated as:

Volumetric Efficiency (VE) = Actual Flow

Theoritcal flow 100

Here we will vary the VE and observe the effect of the VE has on the pressure of the UDS,

measurement was taken from pressure hose of the model

Figure 19: Effect of the pressure on the variation of the Volumetric Efficiency

Form the above figure it is evident that pressure of the pump can vary significantly with

Volumetric Efficiency , particularly with a low fluid viscosity, such as that of urea.

33

Figure 20: Mass flow rate as function of Volumetric Efficiency

The above shows the mass flow rate as function of the Volumetric Efficiency, we can therefore

say that the system Mass flow rate is simply a function VE, when all the other parameters is

held constant.

5.1.2 Return restriction pipe diameter variation

As small particles or dirt accumulate on the main filter media, As a result of that flow is

restricted and pressure rises. When the pressure rises above to a level specified by the hose

manufacturer, this may result hose burst, Blockage of the UDS return restriction pipe is

simulated, this is done by varying return restriction hole diameter as shown in figure 21

34

Figure 21: Return restriction pipe diameter variation

The system pressure variation as results of return restriction diameter variation

5.1.3 Flow rate as function of speed

The flow rate of UDS pump varies proportionally with pump speed as shown in figure 22

35

Figure 22: flow rate as function of speed

The above figure shows the relationship between the pump speed and the flow rate. From the

motor speed we can estimates the flow rate.

5.1.4 Effects of the pipe diameter on the flow pattern

Reynolds number gives the ratio between inertial forces and viscous forces in other words we

can estimate which forces are dominant, whether we have laminar, translational or turbulent flow

in the UDS, we will observe effects of the pipe diameter on the flow pattern by varying return

restriction pipe diameter and keeping all other variables constant.

36

Figure 23: Effects of the pipe diameter on the flow pattern

From above we can see that the Re is proportional to the pipe diameter as we increase the pipe

diameter so will Re, Re is way below 2000 which indicates that flow is laminar

5.1.5 Adblue density

Density of material is its mass per unit volume, in general, density can be changed by changing

either the pressure or the temperature. Increasing the pressure always increases the density of a

material. Increasing the temperature generally decreases the density, we should note that there

are exceptions in this generalization [28].

37

Figure 24: Adblue density as function of pressure and temperature

The chart above shows density of Adblue as function of pressure and temperature as required by

the conservation equation we should note that effect of pressure and temperature of liquid is very

small, we can therefore say that the Adblue has constant density.

5.1.6 Adblue Viscosity

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It describes the internal friction of a moving

fluid. A fluid with large viscosity resists motion because its molecular makeup gives it a lot of

internal friction. A fluid with low viscosity such as Adblue flows easily because its molecular

makeup results in very little friction when it is in motion [29].

5.1.6.1 Types of viscosity

There are two ways to express fluid’s viscosity, it can be either expressed as Dynamic viscosity

which is also known as absolute viscosity and Kinematic viscosity which is obtained by liquid’s

Dynamic viscosity divided by liquid’s density [30]. Adblue Viscosity in different temperatures is

shown in the figures below.

38

Figure 25: Adblue Dynamic Viscosity behavior on different temperature

Figures 26: Adblue Dynamic and Kinametic Viscosity behavior on different temperatures

39

From above we can see that Adblue viscosity varies with temperature as the Adblue temperature

increases its viscosity decreases [30] Detailed Adblue fluid property is shown in Appendix B

5.2 Conclusions

In the theory section, we have shown two fundamental principles of fluid flow, conservation of

mass (continuity equation) and conservation of momentum (the Cauchy equation) of fluid

motion.

To get to Euler equations we employed the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flow, by

neglecting fluid viscosity making 𝜇 = 0 [21], with this assumption Navier-Stokes equations take

the form of Euler equations, detailed discussions and derivations might be found at Atil’s lecture

notes[21][23]

The second last step is derivation of exact solutions to the Navier-Stokes quations, the Hagen–

Poiseuille eqautions, by applying basic physics with the assumptions of laminar flow, constant

viscosity and straight pipe with circular cross-section, we derived Hagen–Poiseuille eqautions,

this led to a relationship between pressure changes over a length L of pipe, and a friction factor

associated with viscous effects

We then applied Euler equations to derive well known Bernoulli equation, which signifies that

when the velocity increases in a fluid stream, the pressure decreases and when velocity decreases

the pressure increases [31] [15]

We must highlight that all of these equations have their roots in the Navier–Stokes equations,

once again underscoring the universality of these equations in the context of describing the

motion of fluids [10]

Why did we have to derive all these equations? It is important when applying any equation that

we are aware of the restrictions on its use, the restrictions are normally seen in the derivation of

the equation when certain simplifying assumptions about the nature of the problem are made. If

we ignore the restrictions, we may get inaccurate results from the equation. e.g. an equation was

derived while assuming that the flow was incompressible, which means that the speed of the

flow is much less than the speed of sound. If you use this form for a supersonic flow, the answer

will be wrong [32]

In the Modeling and simulations section, the following steps have been completed as given on

the goal statement:

To broaden our level of understanding and interactions of different components we

shown simplified model of the UDS

To ensure model meets requirements and fulfills its intended use we have verified (e.g.

Right flow, pressure, and mass flow rate)

To gain confidence in the model we have validated by comparing model with the real

system data and found acceptable agreement

40

We have also shown Effects of various parameters of the system, such as Volumetric Efficiency

of the pump, return restriction diameter variations, relationship between flow rate and speed

Finally we have demonstrated Adblue density as function of pressure and temperature, and

effects of the temperature on Dynamic and Kinematic viscosity of the Adblue, more Adblue

fluid properties is also given on Appendix B

5.3 Future works

Future work may include the following steps

Model to be expanded to include GTI compound template such as 'HoleTypeInj instead

of simple orifice as we have done, then pressure oscillations may be modeled accurately

by using complete injector

Effects of Young Modules in the pressure hoses to be demonstrated

Validation of the model with range of operating conditions

We also Re is high (>2100), inertial forces dominate viscous forces and the flow is turbulent; if Re number is low (<1100), viscous s dominate and the flow is laminar. It is named after thee is high (>2100), inertial forces dominate viscous forces and the flow is turbulent; if Re number is low (<1100), viscous forces dominate and the flow is laminar

The ∂p/∂x is called pressure gradient and is x dependent where the flow is laminar. The negative

stress at the center of pipe r=0 and increase linearly with the distance r from the center, reaching

its maximum value, where τ0 = (-∂p/∂x) (r0/2), at the pipe wall (r=r0) [35]

Flow rate

In addition, we have discussed continuity equation in section 2.3.1, here we will use that concept

𝑚 𝑖𝑛 = 𝑚 𝑜𝑢𝑡

𝜌1𝐴1𝑉1 = 𝜌2𝐴2𝑉2

For incompressible flow (𝜌1=𝜌2)

𝐴1𝑉1 = 𝐴2𝑉2

Where

V Flow velocity, P Static pressure, Z Height, Density of the fluid g Acceleration due to

gravity, Q Volume flow rate, A Cross sectional areas points 1 and 2 respectively

Mass balance of the system shows that the volume flow rate is related to the cross sectional area

and flow velocity by the continuity equation

𝑄 = 𝐴1𝑉1 = 𝐴2𝑉2

𝑉1 =𝑄

𝐴1= 𝑉2 =

Where Q is the volume flow rate, 𝛽 =𝑑2

Volumetric flow rate

𝜌

Here we can calculate mass flow rate of anywhere in the pipe

𝜌 𝑄 = 𝐶𝐴2 2𝜌 𝑃1 − 𝑃2

The general equation for mass flow rate measurement used by ISO5167 standard is [34]

In practical application frictional losses may not be negligible and viscosity and turbulence

effects may be present in a system. For that reason, the coefficient of discharge is introduced

[34]

Practically Three commonly used flow meters such orifice, venturi, nozzle where increase in

velocity causes a decrease in pressure are governed by the Bernoulli and continuity equations.
