Modelling and control of hybrid electric vehicles (a comprehensive review)
The gradual decline in global oil reserves and presence of ever so stringent emissions rules around the world, have created an urgent need for the production of automobiles with improved fuel economy. HEVs (hybrid electric...

Robust proportional ECMS control (RPEC) of a parallel hybrid electric vehicle
Improved fuel efficiency in hybrid electric vehicles requires a delicate balance between the internal combustion engine usage and battery energy, using a carefully designed energy management control algorithm. Numerous energy...

Analysis and empirical modelling to assess and predict the impact of catalyst light-off strategies on the exhaust gas temperatures of spark ignition engines

In order to conform to stringent emissions legislation, three-way catalysts have been routinely fitted to gasoline-powered vehicles in order to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons and nitrogen...

A comparison of analytical techniques and the products formed during the decomposition of biodiesel under accelerated conditions
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel synthesised from plant, waste or algal oils. Though biodiesel can be used as a replacement for diesel fuel, a number of technical issues, including the reduced oxidative stability, limit the...
