2. 1. Transient Air to Fuel Ratio Response in a Fuel Injected S.I Engine

   Author : Göran Almkvist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dynamic; A F; model; transient; air to fuel; response; time constant; film; behavior; lambda; time-delay; fuel; mass; deposit factor;

   Abstract : Future emission standards make it necessary to focus on the conditions under which engine emissions are produced, especially before the catalyst light off. During practical driving conditions, such as those represented by the FTP 75 test cycle, the engine is operated very much under transient conditions regarding load and speed. READ MORE

4. 2. Nonlinear Model-based Control of Automotive Powertrains

   Author : Jonas Fredriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; stability; diesel engine control; nonlinear control; gearshifting; air-to-fuel ratio control; drive- line oscillations; backstepping; powertrain modeling; powertrain control;

   Abstract : In recent years the focus of powertrain control has shifted perspective from control of the individual powertrain components to control of the complete powertrain, so-called integrated powertrain control. The idea presented in this thesis is to view the powertrain as one single control object and to used the engine as a torque actuator to the rest of the driveline. READ MORE

5. 3. Evaluation of a Variable Nozzle Turbine Turbocharger on a Diesel Engine under Steady and Transient Conditions

   Author : Ralf Barkhage; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diesel engine; emissions; transient operation; control system; fuel economy; variable geometry turbocharging; engine performance; variable nozzle turbine; supercharging;

   Abstract : The growing global call for reduced emissions and fuel consumption together with the market call for engines with higher power density and application-oriented torque curves can be met using turbochargers with variable geometry turbines (VGT). The second generation of VGT turbochargers is currently being developed and is starting to appear on the market. READ MORE

6. 4. NOx formation in iron ore rotary kilns

   Author : Rikard Edland; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rotary kiln; Grate-Kiln process; emissions control; combustion chemistry; Nitrogen oxides;

   Abstract : Iron ore pellets are often produced using the so-called Grate-Kiln process, which is designed to oxidize the magnetite (Fe3O4) to hematite (Fe2O3) and to sinter the pellets so they can be used in steel manufacturing. The heat required for this process comes from the combustion of a pulverized fuel in a rotary kiln, involving the formation of a jet flame. READ MORE
