Introduction to Modeling and Control of Internal Combustion Engine Systems

Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) still have potential for substantial improvements. This book offers an introduction to cost-effective model-based control-system design for ICE. The primary emphasis is put on the ICE and its auxiliary devices.

Internal combustion engines still have a potential for substantial improvements, particularly with regard to fuel efficiency and environmental compatibility. These goals can be achieved through control systems. Modeling and Control of Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) introductes readers to cost-effective model-based control system design for ICE. The primary emphasis is on ICE and their auxiliary devices. Mathematical models for these processes are developed in the text and selected feedforward and feedback control problems are discussed. The appendix contains a summary of the most important controller analysis and design methods, and a case study that analyzes a simplified idle-speed control problem. Ideal for engineers and students interested in the design of classical and novel ICE control systems.

Description of the mathematical modelling of the physical processes associated with Internal Combustion Engines Provides the model-based controller design and optimization for novel motor technologies
