The main element of the air intake system is an manifold. These are components which control flow value that will be used in combustion chamber. Thisstudyaimsto analyse velocity distribution all runners and to compare design manifold previous study. Simulations performed on two types Design 1, inlet end located next regulator chamber whilst for 2, inthe middle Intake parameters such as distribu...

We address the control of the airpath of a turbocharged S.I. engine equipped with Variable Valve Timing actuators (VVT). Compared to standard configurations, the engine does not possess any external EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) loop. Rather, VVT are used to produce internal EGR, providing similar beneficial effects in terms of emissions reduction. The airpath dynamics takes the form of a sin...

Stronger environmental awareness as well as actual and future legislations increase the demands on diagnosis and supervision of any vehicle with a combustion engine. Particularly this concerns heavy duty trucks, where it is common with long driving distances and large engines. Model based diagnosis is an often used method in these applications, since it does not require any hardware redundancy....

In-cylinder exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) stratification, generally achieved by supplying EGR asymmetrically into intake ports on a four-valve diesel engine, is sensitive to trapped exhaust gas in the intake manifold and intake ports that is caused by the continuous supply of EGR during the valve-close periods of the intake valves. The subject of this study is to evaluate the distribution of ...

Helmholtz resonators are commonly used for tuning of acoustic systems such as industrial processes, vehicle exhaust, engine intake manifold systems and more. Past efforts resulted in limited tuning capability and significant mechanical complexity. The work presented here considers a system that modifies the acoustic response of a system continuously, online, allowing optimum performance over a ...
