No-x estimation in diesel engines is an up-to-date problem but still some issues need to be solved. Raw sensor signals are not fast enough for real-time use while control-oriented models suffer from drift and aging. A ...
It has lately been demonstrated that the resonance of the in-cylinder pressure may be
used for inferring the trapped mass in an internal combustion engine. The resonance
frequency changes over time as the expansion stroke ...
[EN] Knock control represents one of the most critical aspects to reach optimal thermal efficiency in spark ignition engines, and its research is crucially important because it determines thermal efficiency, engine durability, ...
Look-up tables are commonly used in the automotive field for handling operating point variations. However, constant maps cannot cope with systems variations and ageing. Methods, such as Kalman filter or Extended Kalman ...
[EN] Reducing mechanical losses in internal combustion engines has been a recurrent research topic over the past few decades. Despite mechanical losses are a key issue that should be carefully addressed to reduce fuel ...
[EN] In this study, durability and performance prediction were integrated in the sizing process of the FC stack of a fuel cell range-extender (FCREx) vehicle together with the design of a dynamics-limited control strategy. ...
