This paper addresses the problem of cylinder burned gas rate transient control of VVA equipped Diesel engines. This problem is of importance for NOx emissions reduction. The proposed strategy coordinates existing low-level intake manifold burned gas rate and VVA controllers. To determine relevant control actions, a model of cylinder filling phenomenon is determined. It expresses, under the form...

Turbocharged diesel engines are now being used in every automobile by a lot of automobile manufacturing companies. A turbocharged diesel engine (TDE) equipped with variable geometry turbocharger and exchange gas recirculation is explained in detail. A linear turbocharged diesel engine model is presented and its control techniques are explained in detail. Controllers are designed using the linea...

In the expert practice of fire research there is an increasing need for forensic complex fire-technical and mechanical engineering examinations. This especially relevant against background growing fires in Ukraine on modern foreign-made vehicles. particular, those equipped with internal combustion diesel engines Common Rail injection system. Key words: mechanical-engineering examination, engine...

Air pollution is one of the major issues about the diesel engines in todays' world. It is a special concern in those areas that have difficulty meeting health-based outdoor air quality standards. Natural gas has low emission and resource abundance and also conventional compression ignition engine can be easily converted to a dual fuel mode to use natural gas as main fuel and diesel as pilot ...

Transesterified vegetable oils (biodiesel) are promising alternative fuel for diesel engines. Used vegetable oils are disposed from restaurants in large quantities. But higher viscosity restricts their direct use in diesel engines. In this study, used cooking oil was dehydrated and then transesterified using an alkaline catalyst. The combustion, performance and emission characteristics of Used ...
