... overcome the flight speed limitations of conventional helicopters with additional lifting and propulsive components. Further to operational benefits, these augmentations provide additional flight control parameters, resulting in control redundancy. This work aims to investigate the impact of optimal...

... NO x emissions, respectively. Because the dynamics of both the VGT and EGR are highly nonlinear and coupled to each other, better performance may be attained by substituting nonlinear multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) controllers for the existing conventional lookup table-based linear controllers...

...Carl A. Palmer; Royce L. Abel; Peter Sandvik This paper describes the development and initial application studies for an active combustion pattern factor controller (APFC) for gas turbines. The system is based around the use of a novel silicon carbide optical ultraviolet dual diode flame...

... of a spark plug with a smaller electrode tip diameter improved the signal stability. It is proposed that measurement and control of the electrode temperature will be necessary to control the signal drift. Zhao , F. , and Asmus , T. , 2000 , “ Diesel Closed Loop Control via Smoke Sensor...
