Book excerpt: De nouvelles connaissances sur les ecoulements autour des vehicules automobiles doivent aujourd'hui etre apportees pour envisager une amelioration de leurs performances aerodynamiques. Ce travail de these repose sur des etudes experimentales, realisees en soufflerie, permettant l'analyse et la comprehension des mecanismes physiques associes aux ecoulements decolles tridimensionnels et instationnaires se developpant a l'arriere des vehicules automobiles. Il se concentre plus particulierement sur la geometrie generique du corps de Ahmed permettant de reproduire les ecoulements a l'arriere de vehicule de type bicorps (lunette arriere et culot). L'etude permet dans un premier temps de caracteriser les interactions existentes entre les differentes structures de l'ecoulement, et d'analyser dans un second temps les mecanismes instationnaires associes au decollement tridimensionnel se developpant sur la lunette arriere. Ce livre s'adresse a un lectorat averti en mecanique des fluides experimentale et en aerodynamique.

Download or read book Liquid Vapor Phase Change Phenomena written by Van P. Carey and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liquid-Vapor Phase-Change Phenomena presents the basic thermophysics and transport principles that underlie the mechanisms of condensation and vaporization processes. The text has been thoroughly updated to reflect recent innovations in research and to strengthen the fundamental focus of the first edition. Starting with an integrated presentation of the nonequilibrium thermodynamics and interfacial phenomena associated with vaporization and condensation, coverage follows of the heat transfer and fluid flow mechanisms in such processes. The second edition includes significant new material on the nanoscale and microscale thermophysics of boiling and condensation phenomena and the use of advanced computational tools to create new models of phase-change events. The importance of basic phenomena to a wide variety of applications is emphasized and illustrated throughout using examples and problems. Suitable for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students in mechanical or chemical engineering, the book can also be a helpful reference for practicing engineers or scientists studying the fundamental physics of nucleation, boiling and condensation.
Download or read book Engine Modeling and Control written by Rolf Isermann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing demands for internal combustion engines with regard to fuel consumption, emissions and driveability lead to more actuators, sensors and complex control functions. A systematic implementation of the electronic control systems requires mathematical models from basic design through simulation to calibration. The book treats physically-based as well as models based experimentally on test benches for gasoline (spark ignition) and diesel (compression ignition) engines and uses them for the design of the different control functions. The main topics are: - Development steps for engine control - Stationary and dynamic experimental modeling - Physical models of intake, combustion, mechanical system, turbocharger, exhaust, cooling, lubrication, drive train - Engine control structures, hardware, software, actuators, sensors, fuel supply, injection system, camshaft - Engine control methods, static and dynamic feedforward and feedback control, calibration and optimization, HiL, RCP, control software development - Control of gasoline engines, control of air/fuel, ignition, knock, idle, coolant, adaptive control functions - Control of diesel engines, combustion models, air flow and exhaust recirculation control, combustion-pressure-based control (HCCI), optimization of feedforward and feedback control, smoke limitation and emission control This book is an introduction to electronic engine management with many practical examples, measurements and research results. It is aimed at advanced students of electrical, mechanical, mechatronic and control engineering and at practicing engineers in the field of combustion engine and automotive engineering.
