Abstract: The need for improvements in the on-line estimation of engine performance variables is greater nowadays as a result of more stringent emission control legislation. There is also a concurrent ...

Abstract: This paper presents a formalization of the energy management problem in hybrid electric vehicles and a comparison of three known methods for solving the resulting optimization problem. Dynamic ...

Abstract: This paper develops a hybrid/gain scheduled controller for moving the state of a diesel engine through a driving profile represented as a sequence of operating points in the seven-dimensional ...

Abstract: The torque produced by each combustion in an engine is one of the most important indices tied to internal combustion engine performance. In this paper, an approach is investigated to estimate ...

Abstract: Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is a promising concept for internal combustion engines that can considerably decrease NOx and soot emissions in part-load operations without penalizing ...

Abstract: This paper describes a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell system model for automotive applications that includes an air compressor, cooling system, and other auxiliaries. The fuel cell ...

Abstract: This paper incorporates a methanol reformer model with a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell system model for automotive applications. The reformer model and fuel cell system model have ...
