Characterising combustion of diesel engines is not only necessary when researching the instantaneous combustion phenomena but also when investigating the change of the combustion process under variable engine operating conditions. An effective way to achieve this goal is to parameterize the combustion process using a finite combustion stage cylinder process model and then the parameters can be modeled to give a global description of diesel engine combustion. The main objective of this thesis is getting information how to calculate (simulate) the parameters defining the finite stage cylinder process model using both theoretical and experimental methods. The latter is essential but also complicated.
