ABSTRACT

The Special Session aims to collect contributes from researchers and professional from academia and industry which study and approach the application to the automotive powertrain (ICE and Hybrid Electric systems) and vehicles of thermal (including emissions) and fluid dynamic measurement for the development, control and monitoring.

TOPICS

This special session focuses on the following (but not limited to) topics:

ICE and Hybrid Electric performance test rigs and cells development and calibration;
Temperature, pressure, flow rate measurements for powertrain and vehicles development;
Pollutant emission measurements and characterization;
After treatment devices (EGR, SCR, DPF, DOC, ecc.) characterization;
Experimental analysis of classical and innovative combustion solution in internal combustion engines including also application of alternative fuels;
Measurements for powertrain control and for the calibration and mapping of Electronic Control Unit (ECU);
Measurements and control of energy fluxes in vehicles with advanced propulsion systems;
Heat transfer measurements in ICE and Hybrid Electric powertrain.
