Abstract :
Recent activity in nonthermodynamic modeling of automotive internal combustion engines with spark ignition, which are inherently nonlinear, is reviewed. A fundamental nonlinear model of the engine is presented, and a linear control-oriented model is derived from the nonlinear process. Techniques for experimental verification are examined, and a practical linear engine example incorporating multirate sampling is illustrated.<>
