Since the first edition of Combustion Engineering was published in 1998, worldwide
consumption of fossil and biomass fuels has increased by 20%. Additional population …

An analytic model for cylinder pressures in spark ignited engines is developed and
validated. The main result is a model expressed in closed form that describe the in-cylinder …

The spark advance determines the efficiency of spark-ignited (SI) engines by positioning the
combustion in relation to the piston motion. Today's spark-advance controllers are open …

The use of thermodynamic models for the calculation of the heat release law from the
experimental in-cylinder pressure signal has been a common practice as a way to study the …

Implementation of real-time combustion feedback for use in closed-loop combustion control
is a technology that has potential to assist in the successful production implementation of …

Finding the correct Top Dead Center (TDC) offset for an internal combustion engine is
harder than it seems. This study introduces a novel method to find the TDC offset based on …

The paper describes a novel method for self-tuning gross heat release computation in
internal combustion engines suitable for both online usage in combustion phasing control …

抄録 A refined two-zone heat release model for combustion diagnostics in spark-ignition (SI)
engines was developed and assessed. The novelty of the model includes the following …

A dynamic model is presented for the internal combustion engine in which the primary
motion of the pistons is determined by the gas pressure in the cylinders rather than by an …

The work presented in this thesis is motivated by the need to reliably operate a compression-
ignition engine in a partially premixed combustion (PPC) mode. Partially premixed …
