Thesis Abstract: Multi-disciplinary System Design Optimization of Diesel Exhaust Aftertreatment
Technologies
|
The primary purpose of the proposed project is to develop a series of sub-models
for a series of emissions treatment technologies and use these to simulate
complete diesel emissions treatment systems. From these sub-models a series of
potential complete diesel emissions treatment system architectures can be
constructed. Utilizing a multi-disciplinary, multi-objective system analysis
methodology, the relative performance of these architectures can be analyzed in
objective space given engine/vehicle operating conditions and other (sub)system
constraints and limitations. The valuable information gleaned from this
analysis will assist the Arvinmeritor Commercial Vehicle Exhaust group in
identifying design directions and developing complete diesel emissions
treatment solutions for their customers in the commercial vehicle market.
My secondary, extracurricular, interests are in Formula SAE, an annual
collegiate design competition organized by SAE (Society of Automotive
Engineers) in which university students conceive, design, build, and race an
open-wheel formula-style race car. I have been a team member for the MIT FSAE
team since 2001, and am currently looking at research in system optimization
and working to integrate education curriculum and classes with the
project/competition.
