    Engine torque: Can an alternator increase ICE torque?

    the alternator basically is formed by a rotor and a stator, within the rotor there is a winding that wrap around an iron core on the rotor shaft which will produce a magnetic field while current is applied, so, more current equals a bigger field. the magnetic field in turn induce voltage into...

    Engine torque: Can an alternator increase ICE torque?

    Agree. Due to energy balance, i guess that the output (generated) power of the alternator should remain the same, but What would happen to the engine With a fixed power if the alternator suddenly increase its magnetic field?

    Engine torque: Can an alternator increase ICE torque?

    Hi there. What would happen if, while generating electricity with a fixed inlet power from the ICE, the alternator suddenly increase the out put demand by increasing the voltage? Does the engine would augment the torque while reducing RPMs? consider a self excited alternator, the voltage is...

    Internal combustion engine transfer function (request)

    I will, thanks. Searching around i found this book, "Engine Modeling and Control" Author: Rolf Isermann, it may have some transfer functions here's a preview of the book in case someone is interested: http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-3-642-39934-3

    Internal combustion engine transfer function (request)

    Thank you very much. I need a transfer function from the air inlet to RPM or Hp, considering a constant ideal air/fuel ratio (maybe i would need a transfer function for that). Also another one from RPM to exhaust gas flux, in this one I'm not quite sure what is really convenient to calculate...

    Internal combustion engine transfer function (request)

    Hello everyone, i need to find reported transfer functions of internal combustion engines for a project, i would appreciate the model of a four cylinder engine. If anyone knows about a book or some article which i can use, please let me know. thank you very much. the topic is related with...
