Using Pontryagin's Minimum Principle the later was analyzed in [9} where relative efficiency improvements on the ‘order of only 10% (say from 40 to 44% engine efficiency) were predicted. Moreover, his ideal eycle pracuces mach higher peak temperatures, which would cause problems with nitric oxygen (N0,) emission (see below). ‘The most importantdrswhacks of Diesel engines are heirlow power density (since the mixture is always lean Fes fuel can by induced ina given cylinder volume at atmospheric conditions; in audition, engine top-speeds are lower due to mechanical imita- tions) and their problematic exhanst-gs purification, “The frst problem can quite easily be eliminated by super. charging the engines (freing more sr into the cylinder and thus allowing more fuel tobe burbed inthe same volume). Although having considerably lower pollutant ras-rnissions than Otto en- ines, the Dieses working principe, viz its inherently lean oper- ation, renders ancificient exhaust gas purification by three-way catalysts impossible (TWCs can operate efficiently a soichio- metric air-fuel mixtures, only). In particular, nitic oxygen is presentin larger quantities the Diese’s exhaust, The develop- ‘ment of devices forthe reduction of this substance under Tean conditions has begun only recently. Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is therefore so far the most promising approach to reduce Incylinder NO, formation. By adding this “thermal ballast" to the cylinder charge, peak temperatures during combustion (which are ze influencing factor in NO, formation} can be sub- stantially Lowered. ‘A modern diesel engine is a complex system that includes, in addition to the reciprocating pat, many other modules, In Fig. 1 schematic overview ofa possible configuration is shown using the following abbreviations (the symbols introduced inthis pic ture willbe used later inthe pape.

Instead of such waste gates, variable nozzle turbines have been proposed, especially since with VNTs the control authority is greatly en- hanced and a better dynamic behavior can be achieved, ‘The injection systems of course very important for the engi- e's characteristics.

The mount of Diesel particulates depends on the ox)~ gen availability during combustion, onthe spray formation and the oxidation conditions towards the end of combustion.
