The use of biodiesel as an alternative fuel in the pursuit of renewable and sustainable
energy has raised new technological, economic and environmental concerns. Although it …

Consider the time periods required for a driver to react in response to large disturbances in
road traffic; for a signal sent from Houston to reach a satellite in orbit; for a coolant to be …

The three way catalytic converter (TWC) is a critical component for the mitigation of tailpipe
emissions of modern spark ignition internal combustion (IC) engines. Because the TWC …

Higher fuel economy and lower exhaust emissions for spark-ignition engines depend
significantly on precise air-fuel ratio (AFR) control. However, the presence of large time …

This work presents a hybrid position-force control of robots for surface polishing using task
priority. The robot force control is designed using sliding mode ideas in order to benefit from …

Shaped holes are increasingly selected for airfoil cooling in gas turbines due to their
superior performance over that of cylindrical holes, especially at high blowing ratios. The …

This paper presents an adaptive internal model controller for stable but not necessarily
minimum-phase SISO plants and its application to the air/fuel ratio control system of a spark …

Minimization of emissions of carbon dioxide and harmful pollutants and maximization of fuel
economy for lean‐burn spark ignition (SI) engines relies to a large extent on precise air–fuel …

The access to electricity is increasing worldwide with a considerable growing rate per year.
Unfortunately, traditional large fossil power technologies based on coal and oil lead to a …

Control of air–fuel ratio (AFR) plays a key role in the minimisation of the carbon dioxide and
harmful pollutant emissions and maximisation of fuel economy. An inherent time‐varying …
