Abstract: An efficient computational methodology is proposed for optimal gear ratio planning in motor vehicle kinetic energy recovery systems (KERS) using a flywheel and continuously variable transmission (CVT). Initial modeling of ...

Abstract: The accuracy of computational fluid dynamic (CFD)-based heat transfer predictions have been examined of relevance to liquid cooling of IC engines at high engine loads where some nucleate boiling occurs. Predictions based ...

Abstract: A novel approach is proposed for precise control of two-phase spray evaporative cooling for thermal management of road vehicle internal combustion (IC) engines. A reduced-order plant model is first constructed by combining ...
