Transient combustion control of internal combustion engines
نویسندگان
چکیده
This thesis addresses the problem of combustion control for automotive engines. A method is proposed to complement existing controllers, which use lookup tables based on steady-state operation. During transients, the new control method adjusts fast control variables (ignition or injection time) to compensate for deviations in the cylinder initial conditions from their optimal values due to the inherent slow processes involved. The necessary adjustments are determined from a sensitivity analysis of theoretical dynamic combustion models. The resulting open-loop controller is implementable in real time, and does not require any additional sensor or calibration. Several case studies are considered: spark ignition engines, and highly diluted diesel engines with mono-pulse and multi-pulse injection strategies. Simulations, test bench experiments and vehicle results stress the relevance of the approach.

A method and instruments to identify the torque, the power and the efficiency of an internal combustion engine of a wheeled vehicle
In this paper, we propose a new method and instruments to identify the torque, the power, and the efficiency of internal combustion engines in transient conditions. This method, in contrast to the commonly used non-demounting methods based on inertia and strain gauge dynamometers, allows controlling the main performance parameters of internal combustion engines in transient conditions without i...

Estimation and feedback control of air-fuel ratio for gasoline engines
In 4-stroke internal combustion engines, air-fuel ratio control is a challenging task due to the rapid changes of engine throttle, especially during transient operation. To improve the transient performance, managing the cycle-to-cycle transient behavior of the mass of the air, the fuel and the burnt gas is a key issue due to the imbalance of cyclic combustion process. This paper address the mo...
متن کاملThermoeconomic comparison between the performance of small-scale internal combustion engines and gas turbines integrated with a biomass gasifier
Recently, many countries have paid substantial attention to power generation from biomass gasification, particularly through small-scale plants. A number of power plant models have been suggested and analyzed; however, certainly, desirable configurations have not been identified yet. Moreover, their performances are ordinarily difficult to compare, especially owing to the fact that working ...
متن کاملTurbulence-Augmented Minimization of Combustion Time in Mesoscale Internal Combustion Engines
Mesoscale internal combustion engines for a variety of new combustion system applications have dimensions that are far smaller than conventional macroscale engines, yet unlike true microscale engines allow significant mean flow and turbulence to be created in the combustion chamber by the injection process. The resulting flow allows minimization of the combustion time by augmenting flame propag...
