There is an increased interest in the application of control to combustion. The objective is to
optimize combustor operation, monitor the process and alleviate instabilities and their …

The focus of this paper is to review the history of underwater robotics, advances in
underwater robot navigation and sensing techniques, and an emphasis towards its …

The influence of variable air-fuel ratio inside a spark ignition engine is examined by the use
of an ionization sensor. The measured ion currents are used for predicting the local air-fuel …

In this study, a novel idea of capturing ion current signals inside the passive pre-chamber is
proposed. The signals were analyzed in terms of various operating conditions based on a …

In order to investigate the relation between ion current and combustion characteristics, the
ion current signal from a spark plug as an ion probe, pressure history and flame …

Ion current sensors have been considered for the feedback electronic control of gasoline
and diesel engines and for onboard vehicles powered by both engines, while operating on …

Following elucidation of the basics of thermodynamics and detailed explanation of chemical
kinetics of reactive mixtures, readers are introduced to unique and effective mathematical …

Modern spark-ignited (SI) engines offer excellent emission reduction when operated with a
stoichiometric mixture and a three-way catalytic converter. A challenge with stoichiometric …

The first part of the paper is a brief review of the techniques needed for measuring the
voltage and current during the ignition process. These techniques have been used in test …

This paper describes the technique of in-cylinder ionization sensing in a common rail diesel
engine. The technology detects in real time, the start of combustion for both pilot and main …
