The thermodynamic cycle of an intercooled turbofan engine was optimized by considering various characteristics of intercoolers (ICs). Sixty-three intercooled turbofan engines were optimized using an evolutionary algorithm. Thirty-nine design parameters were analyzed using proper orthogonal decomposition, and the effects of the IC performance on the engine thermodynamic cycle were examined. The ...

: A new approach towards a model-based optimization of IC engine control on dynamometers is presented in this paper. The proposed methodology comprises advanced measurement strategies for a fast dynamic measurement of engine characteristics on dynamometers (DYNMET), a model-based offline optimization of feedforward control maps (STATOPT), and the optimization of dynamic transitions of turbochar...

homogenous charge compression ignition (hcci) is a mode of combustion in ic engines in which premixed fuel and air are ignited spontaneously. there is a belief that hcci engines have a great potential to improve fuel consumption and reduce nox emissions. in this study, a single zone, zero dimensional, thermo-kinetic model has been developed and a computer program with matlab software is used to...

A piston-rings-cylinder (PRC) assembly determines the blowby, engine oil consumption, and friction wear processes accompanying system's operation. Thus, it is crucial for whole IC efficiency lifetime. lot of research effort put into increasing performance this complex highly dynamic system. Advanced, comprehensive models play an important role in understanding improving PRC In presented work, e...
