I'm looking for a model of an internal combustion engine for my graduation course. I've already found some articles of it, but I'm not a Mechanical Engineer and I'm struggling to understand that.
I need a mathematical model of an diesel engine running with methane that tels me, based on a input of fuel flow (methane), gives me as output the engine RPM. With that I'm going to find the balance point between the gas flow input and eletric energi generatio as output.
This is really hard to me to do. If someone can give me any tips or advice where to start I'll be thankful.
It has to be done in Matlab because it is the only mathematical software I have a license.
Hi Arthur. You should start from a basic textbook to understand the combustion phenomenon. Several degrees of complexity and detail can be adopted.
I suggest you the following reference:
Turns, S.R., Introduction To Combustion: Concepts And Applications , 3rd ed., McGraw Hill.
In addition, it may be helpful to consider the following reference:
Guzzella, L., Onder, C., Introduction to Modeling and Control of Internal Combustion Engine Systems. Springer.
If you need further help, feel free to contact me.

I agree with Paolo Mocellin , you should understand the internal combustion engine process first.
The following article may help you.
