Turbo charged SI engines are a major possibility in the current trend of down-sized engines with preserved drivability performance. Considering control and supervision it is favorable to have a mean value model to be used e.g. in observer design. Such models of turbo engines are similar to those of naturally aspirated engines, but there are some special characteristics, e.g. the interconnected ...

the present work is focused on the performance analysis of a 1.7 liter engine with turbocharger. the ultimate target is studying the response of the turbocharger to the inlet pulsating flow. such numerical analysis requires the time variation of pressure and velocity at turbine inlet. in order to achieve such information, one dimensional unsteady viscous compressible flow within a 1.7 liter tur...

in order to reduce wear in gudgeon pin, bush and piston boss lubrication is done. oil used in national engine species was 10w40 with dynamic viscosity 5.5 mpa.s at 140 °c (the working temperature). in order to complete investigation the oil film hydrodynamics analysis in small end of connecting rod, a real full model engine with four cylinders has been simulated by avl excite5.1 software. in th...

In view of the increasing restrictions for CO2 mitigation, evaluation alternative fuels to ensure sustainability transportation is becoming increasingly important. Since some these alternatives can be refined from renewable sources, they are interesting perspective both: use current power-plants and emission. this sense, natural gas arises as an propellant substitute fossil fuels. Therefore, co...

In turbocharged engines with wastegate the exhaust pressure can change rapidly. Two methods to estimate the exhaust manifold pressure are compared for diagnosis of wastegate and turbocharger of a spark-ignited engine. One relies on the first law of thermodynamics and produces changes in exhaust manifold pressure. The second uses a model of the mass of remaining exhaust gases in the cylinder and...

Towards Integrated Powertrain Control for a Mild-Hybrid Urban Vehicle with a Downsized Turbo-Charged CNG Engine — Compressed natural gas (CNG) is considered as one of the most promising alternative fuels for transportation due to its ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, in particular) and its abundance. An earlier study from IFP has shown that CNG has a considerable potential when u...

Hydrogen is an effective route for achieving zero carbon dioxide emissions, with a contained cost compared to electric powertrains. When considering the conversion of spark ignition (SI) engines H2 fueling, relatively minor changes are required in terms added components. This study looks at possibility converting small-size passenger car powered by turbocharged SI unit. The initial evaluation r...

Turbocharged CNG engines produce high NOx emission due to the fuel type and high combustion temperature. In this research, the effects of lean-burn and waste gate opening pressure threshold on NOx emission are studied theoretically and experimentally at WOT condition as well as 13-mode ECE-R49 test cycle. A code is developed in MATLAB environment for predicting engine NOx and the results are va...
