Combustion control is a crucial aspect in modern Diesel engines control strategies, mainly due to the requests to increase efficiency and maintain pollutant emissions within the values bounded by standard regulations. In order to perform an accurate combustion control, modern “closed loop” control algorithms require the evaluation of a large number of quantities that provide information about combustion process effectiveness. This work presents a methodology that allows real-time estimation of energy released, during the combustion process, in a Common Rail Multi-Jet Diesel engine. This procedure can be divided in two main steps. The first step consists in the development of a zero-dimensional combustion model based on the linear combination of a proper number of Wiebe functions. In this case, a zero-dimensional approach has been chosen, because it is accurate enough for this analysis and requires low computational efforts. Once the combustion model has been developed, it can be used to determine Rate of Heat Release (RoHR) and the angular position in which 50% of fuel burned within an engine cycle is reached (MFB50). The second section of this work describes the relationships existing between injection parameters (such as Start of Injection, injected fuel quantities, rail pressure...) and the Wiebe parameters identified in the first step of the procedure. The above mentioned relationships have been used to set up correlations that allow estimating Wiebe parameters, therefore ROHR and MFB50, starting from injection parameters. The results obtained in MFB50 estimation are particularly emphasized, because real-time knowledge of this quantity is necessary to feedback a control algorithm for optimal combustion positioning. This work is based on several experimental tests performed on a 2.2 liters Common Rail Multi-Jet Diesel engine. First, experimental tests have been carried out to identify the combustion model and the correlations existing between Wiebe parameters and injection parameters. Then, in order to determine the accuracy of the approach, the complete estimation methodology has been applied to the engine under study. This work describes a methodology for real-time estimation of several quantities that provide important information about combustion process effectiveness (useful, for example, in modern low temperature combustion control systems). No extra cost is needed, because the methodology requires no additional sensor.

A reciprocating friction machine Tribal-T intended for automated quality control of the rubbing surfaces of tribopairs is described. The distinctive feature of the machine consists in implementation of the forced relative motion due to the frictional interaction of the rubbing surfaces fixed on the drive and conjugate platforms. Continuous processing of the signals from displacement sensors is carried out under conditions of continuous recording of mutual displacements of loaded tribopairs using classical approaches of the theory of automatic control to identify the tribological characteristics. The machine provides consistent visual real time monitoring of the parameters. The MATLAB based computer technologies are actively used in data processing. The calculated tribological characteristics of materials, i.e., the dynamic friction coefficient, damping coefficient and measure of the surface roughness, are presented. The tests revealed that a Tribal-T reciprocating friction machine is effective for real-time study of the aforementioned tribological characteristics of materials and can be used for monitoring of the condition of tribo-nodes of machines and mechanisms.

Pollutant emissions from vehicles form major sources of metallic nanoparticles entering the environment and surrounding atmosphere. In this research, we spectrochemically analyse the chemical composition of particle matter emissions from in-use diesel engine passenger vehicles. We extracted diesel particulate matter from the end part of the tail pipes of more than 70 different vehicles. In the laboratory, we used the high-resolution laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) spectrochemical analytical technique to sensitively analyse chemical elements in different DPM samples. We found that PM is composed of major, minor and trace chemical elements. The major compound in PM is not strictly carbon but also other adsorbed metallic nanoparticles such as iron, chromium, magnesium, zinc and calcium. Besides the major elements in DPM, there are also minor elements: silicon, nickel, titan, potassium, strontium, molybdenum and others. Additionally, in DPM are adsorbed atomic trace elements like barium, boron, cobalt, copper, phosphorus, manganese and platinum. All these chemical elements form the significant atomic composition of real PM from in-use diesel engine vehicles.
