Could someone provide me with some more information on the VDI 2198 driving cycle?
What is the trajectory to be driven?
For a standard test, how many cycles should be performed?
Thanks in advance.

When testing the dynamic behaviour of a vehicle, you have two options:
- Open loop test:
The whole test procedure is precisely determined (speed,steering wheel angle build up,..)
The driver is not part of the information loop and so there is no feedback.
- Closed loop test:
The test driver...
Dear,
I have a question regarding the transient behaviour of a turbocharger. Are the following reasonings correct?
1) Assuming the engine is working at constant torque and you want to increase the engine speed.
I thought, first of all, you increase the air-fuel-ratio. This causes an increase...
I have a question regarding the timing of closing the exhaust valve.
From a P-V diagram, you can see that closing the exhaust valve too early would raise the exhaust pressure, causing higher pump losses, or in other words decreasing the internal efficiency. A part of the exhaust gases remains...
Diesel engines reach their maximum torque at lower engine speeds than SI engines.
What is the fundamental explanation for this difference?
Is it just because a diesel is built heavier than a SI engine? Or is it caused by the different combustion?
What happened to the "SI vs CI" thread that is...
