Abstract: In this work, exergy management strategies (ExMSs) for hybrid electric ground vehicles (HEVs) are developed. The main advantage of using the exergetic framework is the possibility of pursuing unconventional optimization ...

Abstract: Exergy-based control strategies for ground hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) enable to pursue unconventional optimization goals that are inaccessible when standard energy-based modeling frameworks based on fuel consumption ...

Abstract: In this paper, a novel mean-value exergy-based modeling framework for internal combustion engines is developed. The characterization of combustion irreversibilities, nonstoichiometric combustion, and thermal exchange between ...
