Automotive industry is producing vehicles that are more fuel efficient and lower in emissions due to stricter regulations and evolving environmental concerns.This can be achieved by optimization of automotive Powertrain. This paper presents the study of different trends in powertrain optimization which includes tackling the major problem of friction, improving functioning of alternative or hybrid powertrains, clutch engagement control in mechanical powertrains as well as study of the case study of efficiency improvement on powertrain design done by VOLVO involving Super truck.

A Review on Automotive Powertrain Parameter Optimization

Diversity in devices, lack of systematic device testing strategy has always led to open questions in the customer’s mind saying “Is the device tested correctly?” Testing of any device integrated with System Under Test (SUT) is certainly different and more complex than testing any traditional software application, as it a comprehensive testing which includes device and the infrastructure of SUT. A systematic device testing approach plays a very important role in getting the device and its supporting traditional software application released in the market with in time ensuring high quality. This white paper focuses on the lessons learnt and experiences shared along with some guiding principles that can be considered at the time of planning a systematic testing strategy. This strategy can be followed for any Mass Notification application that includes manual as well as automation testing approach in order to cover functional and nonfunctional testing. This paper will also revisit some of the most common pitfalls and pain points that often are snowed under during the test execution phase for any Mass Notification device.

Approach for Mass Notification Device Testing

A method for the removal of anionic (sulfonated) dyes from aqueous dye solutions using the chemical interaction of dye molecules with polyaniline is reported. Polyaniline (PANI) emeraldine salt was synthesized by chemical oxidation. Sulfonated dyes undergo chemical interactions with the charged backbone of PANI, leading to significant adsorption of the dyes. This phenomenon of selective adsorption of the dyes by PANI is reported for the first time and promises a green method for removal of sulfonated organics from wastewater. The experimental observations from UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and conductivity measurements rule out the possibility of secondary doping of polyaniline salt by sulfonated dye molecules. A possible mechanism for the chemical interaction between the polymer and the sulfonated dye molecules is proposed. The kinetic parameters for the adsorption of sulfonated dyes on PANI are also reported. © 2008 American Chemical Society.
