Title: Modelling of the Combustion Influence on Diesel Engines Noise Level for MAR-I Applications
text: Since January 2015, Brazil put into effect the PROCONVE/MAR-I (Programa de Controle da Poluição do Ar por Veículos Automotores para Máquinas Agrícolas e Rodoviárias), which drives the country to the same stringent emissions standards used by the American (EPA Tier III) and European (Euro Stage IIIA) markets. As a result, new pollutants and noise emissions levels were established and although very important for the society health, this issue (noise) has been left behind in this kind of vehicle. Therefore, an extremely challenging target has to be pursued, regarding the current political and economical situation and also the resources availability to achieve those targets. The present work investigates the influence of the noise generated during the combustion process in MAR-I engines by modeling the calibration parameters, which allows to identify the contribution of the combustion in the global engine noise and possibly reducing it and hence the product reckoned costs.
