Fuel return valve is an important part of aviation engines. It achieves the cooling of integrated drive generator by regulating the amount of fuel in the oil cooler of integrated drive generator. Fault modeling and simulation of fuel return valve can provide targeted guidance for its maintenance. This paper establishes fuel return valve's mathematical model which includes the flow control valve...

The purpose of this project was to investigate fuel vapor suppression by aqueous film and foam layers. Immediately after application, aqueous film and foam layers have the effect of suppressing fuel evaporation, however this suppression is not constant over time. If enough time elapses, the fuel vapor concentration above the film and foam layers can reach levels characteristic of an uncovered f...

Natural gas-diesel dual fuel combustion is a beneficial strategy for achieving high efficient and low emissions operation in compression ignition engines, especially in genset application heavy duty diesel engine at rated power. This study aims to investigate a dual fuel engine performance and emissions using premixed natural gas and early direct injection of diesel fuel. Due to the different r...

In spark ignition (SI) engines, the accurate control of air fuel ratio (AFR) in the stoichiometric value is required to reduce emission and fuel consumption. The wide operating range, the inherent nonlinearities and the modeling uncertainties of the engine system are the main difficulties arising in the design of AFR controller. In this paper, an optimization-based nonlinear control law is a...

Fig. 1: Power electronics system driving ac load, powered by a fuel cell. Abstract—A dynamic model of a PEM fuel cell is developed for power electronics simulation. The model accounts for static losses of activation, ohmic, and concentration regions, and dynamic transients due to charge double layer and compressor delay. In this paper, study was given to additional factors, including temperatur...

Parasitic capacitances of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell are causing electrical effects resulting with change of dynamic behavior of fuel cell stack output voltage. This paper shows PEM fuel cell dynamic model with capability of easy integration of humidity, temperature and pressures dynamics, as well as their control. Fuel cell stack dynamic model was linked with boost converter aver...

This paper describes the design and construction of a fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle based on the conversion of a five passenger production sedan. The vehicle uses a relatively small fuel cell stack to provide average power demands, and a battery pack to provide peak power demands for varied driving conditions. A model of this vehicle was developed using ADVISOR, an Advanced Vehicle Simulato...
