This paper describes the optimization of a truck engine cooling system. Different models work together to make an estimation of fuel consumption and thermal behavior of the engine on a real-drive cycle. Dynamic programming is then used to provide an optimized solution to the engine thermal management in terms of actuators power and fuel consumption. Engine temperature effect on the fuel consumption is taken into account by modeling the mechanical losses due to oil viscosity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
