METHOD FOR CALCULATING REACTION HEAT IN AN EXHAUST SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240209767 titled 'METHOD FOR CALCULATING REACTION HEAT IN AN EXHAUST SYSTEM
The abstract describes a method for calculating reaction heat in an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine using a model with two components: one for exhaust components flowing from engine valves and another for the entire exhaust system.
- The first model component calculates exhaust components flowing from valves of the internal combustion engine.
- The second model component relates to the entire exhaust system.
- Total masses from the first model component are divided along the exhaust system onto the individual components of the exhaust system.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for optimizing engine performance and emissions control. - Research institutions for studying combustion processes and exhaust system design.
Problems Solved: - Accurately calculating reaction heat in the exhaust system. - Improving efficiency and reducing emissions of internal combustion engines.
Benefits: - Enhanced understanding of exhaust system dynamics. - Improved engine performance and emissions control. - Potential for more environmentally friendly vehicles.
Commercial Applications: - Automotive manufacturers for developing more efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles. - Emission testing facilities for accurate measurement of exhaust emissions.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method compare to traditional approaches for calculating reaction heat in exhaust systems? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles?
Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on optimizing combustion processes in internal combustion engines. - Research on developing advanced exhaust system designs for improved performance and emissions control.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for calculating reaction heat in an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine by means of a model, comprising a first model component and a second model component, wherein the first model component refers to a calculation of exhaust components flowing from valves of the internal combustion engine, the second model component relates to the entire exhaust system, and total masses from the first model component are divided along the exhaust system onto the individual components of the exhaust system.
