The proper functioning of a catalytic converter requires precise regulation of A/F to the stoichiometric value. The control of A/F is usually based on regulating the fuel ow in proportion to air ow changes imposed by the driver. However, due to the relatively long time delays in the fuel feedback loop, the controller cannot properly compensate for rapid air ow changes. To overcome this de cienc...

engine performance depends on two main factors of engine speed and ignition time. ignition timing can affect engine life, fuel economy and engine power. in this paper, to study engine performance of peugeot 206 tu3a with comparison ratio of 10.5:1 and displacement of 1361cc in matlab software, a two-zone burned/unburned model with the fuel burning rate described by awiebe function was used for ...

In this study, a control strategy for the series hybrid electric vehicle (SHEV) powertrain, based on the design of fixed-boundary-layer sliding mode controllers (FBLSMCs) and a battery charge scenario, is presented to enhance engine efficiency as well as extend battery cycle life. An appropriate battery charge scenario is designed to remove surge charge current, keep the battery staying in a hi...

Substantial improvements in engine fuel e ciency torque and reduction of emissions are available with cam less actuation capable of continuous control of engine valve lift duration and timing A phenomenological model has been developed for an unthrottled operation that is key to e ciency gain An adaptive nonlinear controller has been designed to coordinate intake valve lift and duration by usin...

Actuation schemes exist that permit the joint manage ment of air and fuel ow into the cylinders of a spark ignition engine With the exception of drive by wire systems to date the transient control aspects of these schemes collectively refered to here as secondary cylin der air ow actuators has not received any attention from the control community This paper takes a rst step in the analysis of t...

The gas flow estimation is crucial for the proper operation and monitoring of turbocharged (TC) engines with a torque structured engine control unit (ECU). This paper presents mean value models developed for modeling gas flow over the compressor, the turbine and the wastegate (WG) in a TC gasoline engine not equipped with a hot film air-mass flow meter (HFM). The turbine flow ...

Engine speed limiters are safety devices to prevent the engine to exceed a predetermined high speed. The presented speed limiter is designed for large load variations which requires accurate and fast Air-Fuel ratio control. It is based on feedback linearization and on-line estimation of the load torque. Experimentations was done with a Sea-Doo r © watercraft powered by a Rotax r © four-stroke e...

Increasing demands on comfort, performance, and fuel efficiency in vehicles lead to more complex transmission solutions. One such solution is the Automated Manual Transmission (AMT). It works just like an ordinary manual transmission but the clutch and the gear selection are computer controlled. In this way high efficiency can be accomplished with increased comfort and performance. To be able t...
