Digital twins for internal combustion engines: A brief review

Abstract

The adoption of digital twin technology in the realm of internal combustion (IC) engines has been attracting a lot of interest. This review article offers a comprehensive summary of digital twin applications and effects in the IC engine arena. Digital twins, which are virtual counterparts of real-world engines, allow for real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and predictive modeling, resulting in improved design, development, and operating efficiency. This abstract digs into the creation of a full virtual depiction of IC engines using data-driven models, physics-based simulations, and IoT sensor data. The study looks at how digital twins can potentially be used throughout the engine's lifespan, including design validation, performance optimization, and condition-based maintenance. This paper emphasizes the critical role of digital twins in revolutionizing IC engine operations, resulting in enhanced reliability, decreased downtime, and enhanced emissions control through a methodical analysis of significant case studies and innovations.

Sustainability and Risk Management in Shipping and Logistics: Balancing Environmental Concerns With Operational Resilience

“…This includes the implementation of predictive maintenance systems, route optimization software, and real-time monitoring of fuel consumption. By finetuning operational practices and embracing data-driven decision-making, companies can achieve substantial reductions in fuel usage and environmental impact (Tran et al, 2023).…”

Artificial intelligence applications in solar energy

“…Unlike traditional computing methods, which depend on specific mathematical functions and algorithms [34], [86], [87]. Soft computing techniques simulate human-like reasoning and selectionmaking procedures [88], [89]. These methods are particularly useful for dealing with demanding situations consisting of ambiguity, imprecision, and inadequate data [90] [91].…”

A Simulation Study on a Premixed-charge Compression Ignition Mode-based Engine Using a Blend of Biodiesel/Diesel Fuel under a Split Injection Strategy

“…The fact is that internal combustion engines in every nation worldwide make a substantial contribution to its economic prosperity by producing energy and power [3]- [5]. Diesel engines are widely employed in several vital sectors, such as farming, surface transport, and construction, owing to their excellent thermal efficiency and higher compression ratio compared to gasoline engines [6]- [10]. However, emissions from vehicles using diesel engines contribute significantly to pollution emissions globally, causing many adverse effects on economic as well as social development; they have detrimental effects on human health [11]- [14].…”
