2. 1. A Two-Stroke Range Extender Engine For Heavy Duty BEV applications

   Author : Lennarth Zander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; gas exchange; after burner; single cylinder; Two-stroke engine; Range extender; BEV; Battery electric vehicles;

   Abstract : A back-up range extender (REX) is proposed to support battery electric vehicles (BEV) for heavy duty applications. A single cylinder crank case scavenged two-stroke SI-internal combustion engine (ICE) with a turbocharger system is considered powerful and small enough to be installed directly on the existing electric machine in the electric powertrain.

4. 2. Estimation of the In-Cylinder Air/Fuel Ratio of an Internal Combustion Engine by the Use of Pressure Sensors

   Author : Per Tunestål; Förbränningsmotorer; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vakuumteknik; hydraulik; Maskinteknik; nonlinear; cylinder pressure; engine; least-squares; Mechanical engineering; estimation; hydraulics; vibration and acoustic engineering; vacuum technology; vibrationer; akustik; Motors and propulsion systems; Motorer; framdrivningssystem;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the use of cylinder pressure measurements for estimation of the in-cylinder air/fuel ratio in a spark ignited internal combustion engine. An estimation model which uses the net heat release profile for estimating the cylinder air/fuel ratio of a spark ignition engine is developed. READ MORE

5. 3. On Alternative Fuels for Internal Combustion Engines : A study of biodiesel, gaseous methane and methanol

   Author : Ludvig Adlercreutz; Andreas Cronhjort; Ola Stenlåås; Magnus Sjöberg; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gaseous methane combustion; spark ignition; single cylinder research engine; particle number; particle emissions; oil ash content; CO2; Green House Gases; engine testing; engine development; emissions; combustion chamber design; injector fouling; environmental impact; road transportation; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

   Abstract :  This thesis covers some of the environmental impacts of internalcombustion engines running on alternative fuels. The focus of thestudies conveyed is the reduction of greenhouse gases and particleemissions, as these two factors are of great importance for the pathsthat road transportation is facing. READ MORE

6. 4. DME and the Heavy Duty Diesel Engine

   Author : Henrik Salsing; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; combustion; diesel engine; Dimethyl Ether; fuel injection system; DME;

   Abstract : Increasing awareness of adverse anthropogenic environmental effects, such as the effectsof combusting fossil fuels on atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, and thatcombustion-related emissions from the transportation sector are going to approachsustainable levels in the near future has led to increased interest in fuels from renewablesources. These fuels offer possibilities to diversify the feedstocks that can be used forfuel production, as well as to reduce fossil carbon dioxide emissions, thereby reducingour dependence on a very limited range of sources.

7. 5. Alcohol Flexible Dual-Fuel Direct Injection Engine

   Author : Michael Saccullo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fuel spray; Ethanol; Dual-fuel; Heavy duty engine; Diffusion combustion; Dual-direct injection; E85; Methanol;

   Abstract : Laws concerning emissions from HD internal combustion engines are becoming increasingly stringent in terms of local emissions and emissions concerning global warming such as lowering tailpipe CO2. New engine technologies are needed to satisfy these new requirements and to reduce fossil fuel dependency and increase renewable fuels in the transportation sector. READ MORE
