    Model-Based Fault Diagnosis of the Gas Exchange System in a Turbocharged Gasoline Engine

    Abstract
    Proper operation of a spark ignition engine is required by comfort demands of a vehicle driver and governmental legislations. Therefore it is essential to monitor, within an online technique, the engine and detect any fault which disrupts its operation. The gas exchange path (including the intake and exhaust subsystems) is an important part of turbocharged engines responsible for accurate control of both engine power and emissions. Monitoring the path for fault detection and isolation (FDI) has been always demanded due to many failures it may face since the turbocharger exasperates the harsh working conditions for components involved in the path. This paper presents a novel model-based... 

    Effect of Waste Gate Turbocharged Performance Gas Engine Turbo Charger

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Shahi, Sajjad (Author) ; Hajilouy Benisi, Ali (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The project aims to select the best Waste gate opening pressure for my Turbocharged gas engine is m355G. For this purpose GT-power software for modeling engine power is used. it is reduced to the 38/11 percent. After checking the model in several Waste gate opening pressure Turbocharged Gas engine performance is evaluated and the best Waste gate opening pressure is achieved. The results show that the engine brake specific fuel consumption by changing the opening pressure of 165 mm Hg to 255 mm Hg 4/03 percent and 14/19 percent of the engine power is increased. Also opening pressure of 265 mm Hg to 255 mm Hg engine brake specific fuel consumption 0/25 percent and 0/88 percent of the engine... 

    Detection and isolation of faults in the exhaust path of turbocharged automotive engines

    , Article International Journal of Automotive Technology ; Volume 16, Issue 1 , 2015 , Pages 127-138 ; 12299138 (ISSN) Salehi, R ; Alasty, A ; Shahbakhti, M ; Vossoughi, G ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Detection and isolation of faults in the exhaust gas path of a turbocharged spark ignition (SI) engine is an essential part of the engine control unit (ECU) strategies to minimize exhaust emission and ensure safe operation of a turbocharger. This paper proposes a novel model-based strategy to detect and isolate an exhaust manifold leakage and a stuckclosed wastegate fault. The strategy is based on a globally optimal parameter estimation algorithm which detects a virtual hole area in the exhaust manifold. The estimation algorithm requires observation of the exhaust manifold’s input and output flows. The input flow is estimated by a nonlinear Luenberger observer which is analytically shown to...
