Simulation and assessment of power control strategies for a parallel hybrid car The aim of this paper is to propose a power control strategy for hybrid electrical vehicles. This strategy uses a fuel consumption criterion with battery charge sustaining. It is based on an instantaneous minimization of the equivalent fuel flow. Two comparisons are performed to evaluate the proposed strategy. The first one uses the loss minimization strategy of Seiler and Schröder [1], w... ...

Variable compression ratio engine: A future power plant for automobiles - an overview Increasingly stringent emissions and fuel economy standards have long remained a source of challenges for research in automobile engine technology development towards the more thermally efficient and less polluting engine. Spark ignition (SI) engines have lower part-load efficiency when compared with the diesel engines. The greatest opportunity for improving SI engine efficiency is by way... ...

Reduction of NOx, smoke and brake specific fuel consumption with optimal injection timing and emulsion ratio of water-emulsified diesel This paper reports the test results of a diesel engine at different engine speeds, injection timings and emulsion ratios with water-emulsified fuel. Results show that both NOx and smoke may be reduced significantly at the same brake specific fuel consumption (b.s.f.c.) at high engine speeds above 1400 r/min. At low engine speeds below 1000 r/min NOx...

Experimental study on the combustion characteristics of emulsified diesel in a rapid compression and expansion machine The combustion characteristics of emulsified diesel fuels are investigated in a rapid compression and expansion machine (RCEM). Among the test cases, the 40 water-oil (W/O) fuel injected at 20° before top dead center (BTDC) has shown the best performance with respect to efficiency and NOx and soot emissions. The pressure trace of the 40 W/O fuel is characterized by a ... ...

MPC for vehicle lateral stability via differential braking and active front steering considering practical aspects This paper presents a control architecture that simultaneously utilizes active front steering (AFS) and differential braking for vehicle lateral stability while minimizing longitudinal perturbations. This control scheme is based on the model predictive control (MPC) using the extended bicycle model that captures the lagged characteristics of tire forces and actuators. The nonlinearities o... ...

Modelling and optimizing two- and four-stroke hybrid pneumatic engines Hybrid pneumatic engines, which are designed to follow the downsizing and supercharging paradigm, offer a fuel-saving potential that is almost equal to that of hybrid electric powertrains while inducing much lower additional mass and cost penalties. This paper presents a systematic optimization of the operation of such an engine system. Both two-stroke and four-stroke modes are analysed. ... ...

Analysis of the overturning moment caused by transient liquid slosh inside a partly filled moving tank A non-linear fluid slosh analysis of a partially filled circular tank is performed to illustrate the significance of transient fluid motion on the resulting destabilizing forces and moments imposed on the tank structure and thus the vehicle. The analyses are performed on a clean bore tank of circular cross-section for various fill volumes and subject to different magnitudes of steady as w... ...

Experimental study of the effect of water injection on the cycle performance of an internal-combustion Rankine cycle engine The internal-combustion Rankine cycle engine uses pure oxygen instead of air as the oxidant during the combustion process so as to preclude the creation of nitrogen oxide emissions. Carbon dioxide can be recovered from the water vapour–carbon dioxide exhaust gas mixture through condensation at a relatively low cost and, thus, an ultra-low-emission working cycle is achieved. In this paper ... ...

Effects of the exhaust gas recirculation rate and ambient gas temperature on the spray and combustion characteristics of soybean biodiesel and diesel Experiments were conducted in a constant-volume combustion chamber to investigate the spray and combustion characteristics of soybean biodiesel (B100) and diesel (B0). The in-cylinder density was kept at 15 kg/m3 and the ambient oxygen concentrations of 21, 18, and 15 per cent were maintained to simulate no exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), medium EGR, and heavy EGR in... ...

Automotive aeroacoustics: An overview Vehicle aeroacoustic performance has a major influence on customer perception and also has importance for safety and comfort. Wind noise performance was once differentiated by the quality of sealing. Today, achieving competitive wind noise performance also depends on minimising aeroacoustic noise sources generated by the vehicle form, and on attenuation in the noise pathway from sources o... ...
