This paper describes a new approach towards a model-based optimization of internal combustion engine control maps. The goals of the optimization are – at the same time – minimum fuel consumption, low emissions and a good driveability. First the structure of a torque-oriented engine management system based on control maps is described. Then, an optimization environment is developed, which calcul...

In this study, the effects of JP-4-biodiesel-diesel blends and engine operating parameters on the performance characteristics of a diesel engine were investigated. The experimental tests were performed on a four-cylinder DI diesel engine. The Mixture-RSM method was applied to develop the mathematical models based on the experimental data. The results showed that the fitted models could be prope...

During the mode transition from the pure electric propulsion mode to the hybrid propulsion mode, clutch-based pre-transmission parallel hybrid electric vehicles are subject to drivability issues. These issues originate from the fact that in the clutch-based pre-transmission parallel hybrid powertrain (CPPHP) configuration, the clutch connects the engine and the motor. Without a carefully design...

The purpose of the proposed work centers on the unprecedented task of accurately estimating the torque transmitted through each clutch of the dual clutch transmission. This is to possibly improve the clutch control performance during vehicle launch and gearshifts and to elongate the clutch life. Such goal is attained by only using the measurements and data that are already available in current ...

many studies have been done on hybrid vehicles in the past few years. the full hybrid vehicles need a large number of batteries creating up to 300 (v) to meet the required voltage of electric motor. the size and weight of the batteries cause some problems. this research investigates the mild hybrid vehicle. this vehicle includes a small electric motor and a high power internal combustion engine...

according to the global fuel crisis, it seems necessary to use alternative fuel instead of gasoline. since the natural gas is cheaper, have higher frequency than gasoline and less pollution, it is a suitable fuel. many efforts have been done in order to replace gasoline with natural gas. one of the methods is to inject natural gas and gasoline fuel simultaneously and to use the benefits of both...

the effects of unleaded gasoline and unleaded gasoline–ethanol blends on engine performance and pollutant emissions were investigated experimentally in a single cylinder, four-stroke spark-ignition engine with variable engine speeds (2600–3500 rpm). four different blends on a volume basis were applied. these are e0 (0% ethanol + 100% unleaded gasoline), e3 (3% ethanol + 97% unleaded gasoline), ...

Automotive engine power and torque are significantly affected with effective tune-up. Current practice of engine tune-up relies on the experience of the automotive engineer. The engine tune-up is usually done by trial-and-error method, and then the vehicle engine is run on the dynamometer to show the actual engine output power and torque. Obviously the current practice costs a large amount of t...

In the present study, field oriented control of step motor implementation has been analyzed sothat it can make a Sensorless control. Efficiency and Facilities of step motor is more than othertypes of electromotor. Therefore, the numbers of mechanisms and different types of turning canbe made into them. Also controlling these motors is easier than other available motors. Steppingmotor has been d...

the efficiency of induction motors decreases at light loads. efficiency optimizer control systemsadjust the motor flux value to achieve the best efficiency in a wide range of load variations. reduced fluxoperation has some other benefits such as power factor improvement and torque ripple reduction. the latter isan important issue in a direct torque controlled induction motor drive. in this pape...
