Towards a Stronger Simulation Support for Engine Control Design: a Methodological Point of View — Thanks to a specific crank angle degree modelling approach and to an accurate simulator calibration, it is nowadays possible to build a complete simulator which allows the control engineer to access to numerous engine variables, especially non measurable values, and to perform tests over a wide ran...

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), ...

nowadays, automakers have invested in new technologies in order to improve the efficiency of their products. giant automakers have taken an important step toward achieving this objective by designing continuously variable transmission systems (cvt) to continuously adapt the power of the engine with the external load according to the optimum efficiency curve of engine and reducing fuel consumpti...

Use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in compression-ignition (C-I) engines has always been considered important in the diesel engineering field. This is due to its easy accessibility and good combustion characteristics. In this paper the application of LPG fuel along with diesel oil in a direct- injection automotive diesel engine is experimentally investigated. In order to convert the pure dies...
