Diesel Engine

Traditionally, the study of internal combustion engines has focused on the steady-state performance. However, the daily driving schedule of automotive and truck engines is inherently related to unsteady operation, whereas the most critical conditions encountered by industrial or marine engines are met during transients. Unfortunately, the transient operation of turbocharged diesel engines has been associated with poor driveability, as well as overshoot in particulate and gaseous emissions, making the study and modeling of transient engine operation an important scientific objective.
