In this research, vibration control of national engine (EF7) using active mounts is studied for two different mounting layouts. The first layout is based on the current engine mounting of national engine (system of three passive mounts), but the hydraulic mount is substituted by an active mount. The other mounting layout contains 4 mounts, 2 of which are active ones and the others are passive m...

Air-fuel control on turbocharged (TC) SI-engines require precise prediction of the cylinder air-charge (CAC). Using an observer it is possible to both estimate the necessary system states and to provide a framework to design the necessary CAC feedforward controller. Here a mean value engine model of a TC SI-engine is used to develop an observer. The output of the observer is fed as an initial c...

In this study, the effects of hydrogen and hydroxygen additions and oxygen enrichment on the emission characteristics of a gasoline engine (EF7) were investigated and compared with each other. The simulation was launched by GT-Power at different engine speeds with 5 % to 15 % volume fractions for both of oxygen and hydrogen enrichment and 4.5 % to 9 % volume fractions of hydroxygen addition in ...

The unavoidable irreversible loss of power in a heat engine is found to be of quantum origin. Following thermodynamic tradition a model quantum heat engine operating in an Otto cycle is analyzed, where the working medium is composed of an ensemble of harmonic oscillators and changes in volume correspond to changes in the curvature of the potential well. Equations of motion for quantum observabl...

777 Thinking Coherently About the Second Law The efficiency of heat engines has been limited by the Carnot cycle, which states that the efficiency cannot exceed 1 – Tc/Th, where Tc and Th are the absolute temperatures of the cold and hot reservoirs feeding the engine. Scully et al. (p. 862; see the Perspective by Linke) show how this limiting efficiency can be beaten with a coherent heat source...

Abstract A tropical cyclone (TC) is extreme weather severely threatening coastal wind turbines. However, the non‐extreme speed period (nEWSP) before and after it can also bring considerable economic benefits to farms. Aiming at working conditions of nEWSP‐TC, this paper analyzes characteristics field based on historical actual TC data constructs a pseudo‐Monte Carlo experiment, uses experimenta...
