An appropriate heat transfer rate prediction for an internal combustion engine is important from many perspectives. This study investigates the appropriate coefficients of heat transfer correlation and provides a new method for calculating the convective heat transfer coefficient of combustion chamber walls of an HCCI engine. Therefore, a thermodynamic code including the combustion and heat transfer processes, which are coupled with an optimization algorithm, is used to estimate P-θ behavior of an HCCI engine. Double-Wiebe function and Woschni correlations are applied for combustion and heat transfer respectively in a single-zone model. The results show that the use of heat transfer correlation without improvement in coefficients and exponents for different engines, leads to significant errors in the prediction of in-cylinder pressure. Comparison of computational results with the experimental data shows that original Woschni correlation in the single-zone model cannot predict in-cylinder pressure appropriately. Modifications made in this paper resulted in a change of more than 40% in some coefficients of the existing heat transfer correlation, to provide accurate prediction of the engine thermodynamic behavior of an HCCI engine.
