Internal combustion engines (ICE) still have potential for
substantial improvements, particularly with regard to fuel
efficiency and environmental compatibility. In order to fully
exploit the remaining margins, increasingly sophisticated control
systems have to be applied. 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.
Mathematical models for these processes are developed and solutions
for selected feedforward and feedback control-problems are
presented.
The discussions concerning pollutant emissions and fuel economy
of ICE in automotive applications constantly intensified since the
first edition of this book was published. Concerns about the air
quality, the limited resources of fossil fuels and the detrimental
effects of greenhouse gases exceedingly spurred the interest of
both the industry and academia in further improvements.
The most important changes and additions included in this second
edition are: restructured and slightly extended section on
superchargers, short subsection on rotational oscillations and
their treatment on engine test-benches, complete section on
modeling, detection, and control of engine knock, improved physical
and chemical model for the three-way catalytic converter, new
methodology for the design of an air-to-fuel ratio controller,
short introduction to thermodynamic engine-cycle calculation and
corresponding control-oriented aspects.
