Abstract: Diesel engines are of great challenges due to stringent emission and fuel economy requirements. Compared with the conventional turbocharger system, regenerative assisted system provides additional degrees-of-freedom for ...

Abstract: Control-oriented models for automotive turbocharger (TC) compressors typically describe the compressor power assuming an isentropic thermodynamic process with fixed isentropic and mechanical efficiencies for power transmission ...

Abstract: Substrate roughness can greatly affect the evaporation of sessile droplets, thus determining the efficiency of applications, such as ink-jet printing and coating. Here, we conduct experiments on the evaporation of de-ionized ...

Abstract: Engine downsizing and down-speeding are essential in order to meet future U.S. fuel economy (FE) mandates. Turbocharging is one technology to meet these goals. Fuel economy improvements must, however, be achieved without ...

Abstract: Preload, which is widely applied in linear motion ball guide (LMBG) to eliminate clearance and increase stiffness, gradually decreases owing to wear, resulting in the degradation of the load-bearing capability and dynamic ...
