Abstract: This study explores different hybridization levels of a midsized vehicle powered by a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell stack. The energy buffer considered is a lead-acid-type battery. The ...

Abstract: This study presents a simplified model of a midsized vehicle powered by a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell stack together with a lead-acid battery as an energy buffer. The model is used ...

Abstract: In this paper we extend an existing crank angle resolved dynamic nonlinear model of a six-cylinder 12 l turbocharged (TC) Diesel engine with exhaust valve closing (EVC) variability. Early EVC ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical calculation of the evolution of the spatially resolved solid concentration in the two electrodes of a lithium-ion cell. The microscopic solid concentration is ...

Abstract: Modern heavy-duty vehicles are equipped with compression braking mechanisms that augment their braking capability and reduce wear of the conventional friction brakes. In this paper we consider a ...

Abstract: The goal of this work is to investigate the feasibility of a hybrid solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and gas turbine (GT) system for mobile power production. A system consisting of a gas turbine, ...

Abstract: Cyclic variability (CV) in lean homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion at the limits of operation is a known phenomenon, and this work aims at investigating the dominant effects ...
