Abstract

• Fuel Efficiency Thermal energy recovery (e.g., organic Rankine cycle) to make use of fuel energy discarded to the environment. Thermal management of multiple waste streams and to balance thermal requirements of different technologies. Low friction lubricants/coatings and reductions in other parasitic losses. • Emissions Advanced combustion operation to reduce in-cylinder emissions and corresponding efficiency penalties associated with emissions control devices. Integration of appropriate aftertreatment systems with efficient regeneration strategies. • Demonstration & Verification On-engine experiments with thermal energy recovery devices. FTP modal experiments for drive-cycle emissions estimates. Vehicle system modeling with GT-Drive and/or PSAT.
