Abstract

The conversion of chemical energy into mechanical power, operated by internal combustion engines, involves a great number of complex phenomena that often occur in transient thermo-fluid dynamic conditions. The majority of these phenomena are affected by nonlinear dynamics, thus requiring appropriate compensation techniques. The analysis and comprehension of these nonlinear processes is a basic requirement for the design of effective control solutions, able to optimize the combustion processes in terms of engine power, efficiency, and emissions. In this chapter, we present some advanced non-interfering optical diagnostics that allow to study in detail the reasons and the effects of the nonlinear behavior of many processes occurring in internal combustion engines.
