Abstract: Turbocharger compressor geometry affects the pressure ratio, flow range, and efficiency distribution of the compressor map, but the influence pathway from compressor geometry to engine fuel economy and emissions trade-off has not been sufficiently quantified. This study develops a surrogate-assisted multi-objective optimization framework that couples compressor and engine models. A calibrated one-dimensional compressor model generated a geometry-specific map for each design, which was imported into a validated one-dimensional engine model to calculate brake-specific fuel consumption and brake-specific NOx emissions at four loads. The results for the four loads were aggregated into weighted brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFCw) and weighted brake-specific NOx emissions (BSNOxw). Extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) surrogate models are trained to predict these weighted responses. The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) identified Pareto-optimal compressor geometries. Representative solutions were re-evaluated using the original coupled models. The Pareto front reveals a clear trade-off between BSFCw and BSNOxw, with the minimum-BSFCw and minimum-BSNOxw solutions defining the respective lower bounds within the investigated design space. For the selected trade-off solution, BSNOxw was 1.18 g/(kW·h) lower than the baseline value, while BSFCw was 0.82 g/(kW·h) higher. Compressor geometry alters the distribution of engine operating points on the compressor map under different loads, thereby affecting the trade-off between fuel economy and NOx emissions.

  Data: Turbocharger compressor geometry affects the pressure ratio, flow range, and efficiency distribution of the compressor map, but the influence pathway from compressor geometry to engine fuel economy and emissions trade-off has not been sufficiently quantified. This study develops a surrogate-assisted multi-objective optimization framework that couples compressor and engine models. A calibrated one-dimensional compressor model generated a geometry-specific map for each design, which was imported into a validated one-dimensional engine model to calculate brake-specific fuel consumption and brake-specific NOx emissions at four loads. The results for the four loads were aggregated into weighted brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFCw) and weighted brake-specific NOx emissions (BSNOxw). Extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) surrogate models are trained to predict these weighted responses. The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) identified Pareto-optimal compressor geometries. Representative solutions were re-evaluated using the original coupled models. The Pareto front reveals a clear trade-off between BSFCw and BSNOxw, with the minimum-BSFCw and minimum-BSNOxw solutions defining the respective lower bounds within the investigated design space. For the selected trade-off solution, BSNOxw was 1.18 g/(kW·h) lower than the baseline value, while BSFCw was 0.82 g/(kW·h) higher. Compressor geometry alters the distribution of engine operating points on the compressor map under different loads, thereby affecting the trade-off between fuel economy and NOx emissions.
