Even in a scenario where electric vehicles gain market share and the sale of internal combustion engines is gradually reduced, at present time, there are still no real options that can totally replace (IC) engine over entire range its applications [...]

Theoretical and experimental investigations indicate that at high loads such as 3/4 throttling or more speeds 3000 rpm more, the exhaust gas temperatures of Internal Combustion engines are about 900-1000 K. The amount heat wasted with is equivalent to power them. By considering this feature engines, a Hybrid engine consisting an (IC) gamma type Stirling was proposed analyzed from thermodynamic ...

The paper presents the results of modelling thermal cycle of internal combustion engine including exhaust gas recirculation. The test engine can not achieve the optimum parameters of work due to occurrence of the knock combustion. The influence of EGR on the limits of the knock occurrence in the engine was studied. It turned out that few percent of exhaust gases in the fresh charge effectively ...

This paper addresses two questions relevant to the design of effective locomotion methods for VR using a novel wheelchair motion simulation interface. First, we investigate the extent to which people's ability to keep track of where they are in an immersive virtual environment can be facilitated by actual physical movement (rotation and translation) in the context of vehicular travel. Second, w...

Research has shown that variable valve timing (VVT) can improve significantly the performance of internal combustion (IC) engines, including higher fuel efficiencies, lower emissions, and larger torque outputs at each point of the engine map. To achieve independent and continuous VVT for each valve, an electromechanical valve drive (EMV) system with a custom-designed limited-angle actuator was ...

ABSTRACT A subset of Type Ic supernovae (SNe Ic), broad-lined SNe Ic-bl), show unusually high kinetic energies (∼1052 erg) that cannot be explained by the energy supplied neutrinos alone. Many Ic-bl have been observed in coincidence with long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) suggests a connection between and GRBs. small fraction core-collapse form rapidly rotating strongly magnetized protoneutron star (...
