Sensitivity Analysis of a Mean-Value Exergy-Based Internal Combustion Engine Model 2022-01-0356
In this work, we conduct a sensitivity analysis of the mean-value internal combustion engine exergy-based model, recently developed by the authors, with respect to different driving cycles, ambient temperatures, and exhaust gas recirculation rates. Such an analysis allows to assess how driving conditions and environment affect the exergetic behavior of the engine, providing insights on the system’s inefficiency. Specifically, the work is carried out for a military series hybrid electric vehicle.
