Hydrogen is considered to be a suitable supplementary fuel for Spark Ignition (SI) engines. The energy and exergy analysis of engines important provide theoretical fundaments the improvement efficiency. However, few studies on balance engine working under Direct Injection (HDI) plus Gasoline Port (GPI) mode lean-burn conditions are reported. In this paper, effects two different modes SI present...

AbstructCylinder pressure is an important parameter in engine combustion analysis or engine diagnosis. An approach is introduced to estimate cylinder pressure and combustion heat release in multicylinder SI engines based solely on engine speed measurements. Because of the nonlinear nature of engines, this estimation employs a nonlinear observer: the Sliding Observer. In many applications, cylin...

This paper takes a first step towards model-based feedback control for the transition between spark ignition (SI) and homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion modes by approaching the transfer out of SI operation during the SI into HCCI transition in a closed-loop control framework. The combustion mode switch is taken to be directly from SI to HCCI without an intermediate combu...

This study aims to investigate theoretically the effects of stroke bore ratio on exergy balance in spark ignition (SI) engines. For this purpose, a two–zone quasi–dimensional cycle model was developed for SI engines without considering complex calculation fluid dynamics. The combustion process is simulated as turbulent flame entrainment simulation. Principles second law thermodynamics were appl...

The production of torque and pollutants of Variable Valve Actuation equipped internal combustion engines found in the automotive industry (both Diesel and gasoline engines) is studied. Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) is a technology which has been introduced to optimize engine efficiency at steady-states covering a wide range of operating conditions. In more details, the outcome of the internal ...

E-mail address: [email protected] Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion mode has some benefits compared to the most popular conventional combustion forms used in the internal combustion (IC) engines: spark ignition (SI) and compression igni...

In turbocharged engines with wastegate the exhaust pressure can change rapidly. A method to estimate the exhaust manifold pressure is presented for diagnosis of wastegate and turbocharger on spark-ignited engines. It does not require any extra sensors in the exhaust system after the calibration. A non-linear model is developed of the exhaust pressure. Estimates of the exhaust manifold pressure ...

Snapshot Isolation (SI) is a multiversion concurrency control that has been implemented by several open source and commercial database systems (Oracle, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server). The main feature of SI is that a read operation does not block a write operation and vice versa, which allows higher degree of concurrency than traditional two-phase locking. SI prevents many anomalies that app...

Laser ignition (LI) has been shown to offer many potential benefits compared to spark ignition (SI) for improving the performance of internal combustion (IC) engines. This paper outlines progress made in recent research on laser ignited IC engines, discusses the potential advantages and control opportunities and considers the challenges faced and prospects for its future implementation. An expe...

In spark ignition (SI) engines, the accurate control of air fuel ratio (AFR) in the stoichiometric value is required to reduce emission and fuel consumption. The wide operating range, the inherent nonlinearities and the modeling uncertainties of the engine system are the main difficulties arising in the design of AFR controller. In this paper, an optimization-based nonlinear control law is a...
