This paper surveys the publications available in the literature concerning the application of
the second-law of thermodynamics to internal combustion engines. The availability (exergy) …

With the huge growing demand of energy utilization and various threats posed due to the
emissions had substantially led the thinkers to put on strategic plans to decrease the usage …

The popularity of Introduction to Internal Combustion Engines during the last ten years or so,
has prompted me to prepare this set of worked solutions for the 3n1 Edition. I have used …

Many researchers believe multi-zone (MZ), chemical kinetics–based models are proven,
essential toolchains for development of low-temperature combustion (LTC) engines …

This paper reviews the literature available concerning the energy balance of internal
combustion engines operating on alternative fuels. Global warming and energy crisis are …

Available correlations for the ignition delay in pulsating, turbulent, two-phase, reacting
mixtures found in a diesel engine often have limited predictive ability, especially under …

Combustion diagnostic methods based on the in-cylinder pressure signal are extensively
used for calculating the heat release law or the burned fuel mass as well as the mean gas …

A quasi-dimensional, multi-zone, direct injection (DI) diesel combustion model has been
developed and implemented in a full cycle simulation of a turbocharged engine. The …

Engine models that are used for nonlinear diesel engine control, state estimation, and model-
based diagnostics are presented in this paper. By collecting, modifying, and adding to …

This paper introduces a novel method for the simultaneous optimization of energy
management and powertrain component sizing of a parallel plug-in hybrid electric vehicle …
