Control method for turbocharged diesel engines having exhaust gas recirculation

Patent Kolmanovsky, Ilya V [Ypsilanti, MI]; Jankovic, Mrdjan J [Birmingham, MI]; Jankovic, Miroslava [Birmingham, MI]

A method of controlling the airflow into a compression ignition engine having an EGR and a VGT. The control strategy includes the steps of generating desired EGR and VGT turbine mass flow rates as a function of the desired and measured compressor mass airflow values and exhaust manifold pressure values. The desired compressor mass airflow and exhaust manifold pressure values are generated as a function of the operator-requested fueling rate and engine speed. The EGR and VGT turbine mass flow rates are then inverted to corresponding EGR and VGT actuator positions to achieve the desired compressor mass airflow rate andmore » « less

Metal foam heat exchangers for air and gas cooling and heating applications

Patent Nawaz, Kashif; Jacobi, Anthony M.

Improved heat exchangers according to several embodiments are provided. The heat exchangers provide improved heat transfer for air flow in wet and dry operating conditions, while minimizing pressure drop across the heat exchanger in some applications. According to one embodiment, an improved heat exchanger includes a plurality of metal foam fins between adjacent heat exchange conduits, the heat exchange conduits being arranged parallel to each other to define parallel flow paths between an inlet header and an outlet header. The metal foam fins occupy a cross-flow region between adjacent conduits, the fins having a fixed angular orientation or being rotatablemore » « less

Apparatuses and methods for generating carbon particles and exhaust gas used by gas turbine systems

Patent Berry, Jonathan Dwight

Apparatuses for generating carbon particles and exhaust gas used by gas turbine systems are disclosed. One apparatus may include a decarbonization component combusting or reacting a mixture of a fuel and a mixing gas to generate the carbon particles and the exhaust gas and an exhaust conduit to receive the exhaust gas generated by the decarbonization component. The apparatus may also include a mixing duct in fluid communication with the exhaust conduit and the gas turbine system. The mixing duct may receive the exhaust gas and provide the exhaust gas to the gas turbine system to be used to producemore » « less

System and method for cooling using a heat exchanger having a membrane

Patent Dwyer, Brian P.; Morrow, Charles P.; Pohl, Phillip I.; ...

A heat exchanger that includes a membrane of graphene oxide is disclosed, as is a heat exchange system employing such a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger permits the use of water from non-traditional sources, such as waste water, brackish and sea water, in a cooling loop. Clean water and sensible heat permeate through the membrane, simultaneously cooling and purifying water in the cooling loop.
