The traditional energy management algorithm is mainly based on a single driving cycle, it is obvious that many factors might be often neglected by designer, such as different driving cycles would suit for different control strategies. But they tend to make decisions on the balance of torque distribution and battery power that based on a single driving cycle. Therefore, it is very difficult to achieve the optimal control in each case. In this paper we introduce a new design concept of Multi-operating mode energy management, a mathematical model of the energy management applied to a hybrid vehicle system is presented. Results of simulations using the model with the Multi-operating mode energy management were compared with results of simulations using a model with the single mode energy management, allowing the energy efficiency evaluation of the proposed energy management system.

The flow structure inside the catalytic converter of gasoline engines is very important for consideration of the catalyst light-off condition, converter durability and conversion efficiency. However, the available experimental data under actual engine exhaust conditions are quite limited due to its complicated configuration, critical operating conditions and difficult optical access. Therefore, an experimental study was performed, using laser Doppler velocimetry technique, to measure the velocity distributions inside two production dual-monolith catalytic converters fitted on a firing gasoline engine over several engine operating conditions. This paper reports the normal velocity characteristics measured in a plane 1 mm away from the front surface of first monolith. A small fraction of titanium (IV) isopropoxide was dissolved in gasoline for generating titanium dioxide seeding particles during the engine combustion.

This paper tracks the latest development of UAV noise certification regulations in various countries, outlines the current airworthiness noise requirements, focuses on the overview of various UAV noise assessment methods, and analyses the characteristics and differences of the existing UAV noise evaluation methods in terms of evaluation indicators, measurement procedures and data correction. Combined with the existing domestic environmental protection requirements and noise pollution prevention requirements, as well as the requirements of the UAV superseding law, it can be expected that the impact of UAV noise on people will be an important part of the future UAV airworthiness certification, which will be an important guiding significance for states’ legislation and standardization.
