wheels. The mild-hybrid powertrain300may include a starter/alternator306(e.g., electric machine). The starter/alternator306may be electrically coupled to a battery308. The starter/alternator306may be configured to rotate a crankshaft of the engine302for starting the engine302and to generate ...
It should be noted that the main difference between the 302 and 351 is the deck height. Deck height is the distance between the center of the crankshaft and the machined head interface. The 302 has a 8.2 inch deck height, whereas the 351 has a 9.5 inch deck height.More deck height = ...
each pulse being caused by the rotation of a predetermined point on the crankshaft past sensor 130. The frequency of pulses on the crankshaft position signal 132 are thus indicative of the rotational speed of the engine crankshaft. A Mass AirFlow (MAF) sensor 134 detects the mass flow rate ...
and the like. Sensors communicating input through an I/O interface may be used to indicate crankshaft position, engine rotational speed (RPM), M/G shaft speed, powertrain output shaft speed, wheel speeds, engine coolant temperature, intake manifold pressure, accelerator pedal position, ignition swit...
Crankshaft 10 is connected to the impeller 14 of a hydrokinetic torque converter 16. The converter 16 includes also a bladed turbine 18 and a bladed stator 20, the latter being located between the torus flow outlet section of the turbine 18 and the torus flow inlet section of the impeller ...
which is then transferred via the radiator80to ambient air. In one example, where engine-driven water pump86is a centrifugal pump, the pressure (and resulting flow) produced by the pump may be proportional to the crankshaft speed, or may be directly proportional to the engine speed. The temp...
. Further, this sensor, along with engine speed, can provide an estimate of charge (including air) inducted into the cylinder. In one example, sensor118, which is also used as an engine speed sensor, produces a predetermined number of equally spaced pulses every revolution of the crankshaft....
