Title: Simulating two-phase fluid flow in pipeline
Inventor: FAILLE ISABELLE
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 1997-11-13
Abstract: A method for building a model to simulate flow of two-phase mixtures, in particular of hydrocarbons, in pipelines, consists in solving equations of conservation of mass for each phase in the mixture and an equation of momentum conservation in the mixture, whilst complying with closing relations, and using an explicit solution scheme for the slow waves (corresponding to the gaseous fraction in the pipe) and an implicit solution scheme for the fast waves (corresponding to the propagation of pressure waves). This has the advantage of allowing the time interval to be controlled by the slow waves whilst retaining the same degree of accuracy on these same waves as would be produced with an explicit scheme. The method therefore allows modelling speed to be combined with accurate results, and has a particular application to the design of hydrocarbons pipeline networks.

Title: Compensating for sensor location in an internal combustion engine mixed fuel supply system
Inventor: DALTON JOEL DOUGLAS
IPC: F02D41/14
Filed: 1999-02-15
Abstract: The distance of the blend or composition sensor 41 from the injectors 14 in the returnless system restricts the use of the sensor directly for an instantaneous indication of the blend ratio of fuels at the injectors, particularly under transient engine conditions. To compensate for this, an estimate of the gradient of the blend ratio in the line 40 is continuously made in terms of a blend ratio value for each of a stack of N notional cells of equal fuel in the line. Each time an injected volume is equal to or exceeds the cell volume the current sensed value is added to the stack and the earliest value in the stack is deleted on a first in - first out basis. This earliest value is used for determining the desired stoichiometric air/fuel ratio and from this the fuel pulse width of the injectors.

Abstract: A cooling circuit for a vehicle includes a thermostat 22 in a bottom, outlet hose 24 of a radiator 16. Temperature sensors S1, S2 are provided to monitor the temperature of the coolant across the radiator 16 so that a controller 40 can derive from those measurements the temperature differential across the thermostat 22. If the temperature T<SB>eng</SB> of the coolant at the thermostat inlet is below the thermostat opening temperature T<SB>open</SB> and the differential temperature between the thermostat inlet temperature T<SB>eng</SB> and the thermostat outlet temperature T<SB>rad</SB> is below a fault threshold D<SB>stat</SB>, the thermostat 22 is evaluated as being stuck open or leaking, which results in a fault being recorded and a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) being illuminated. The controller can be set up not to test the thermostat if the engine is running at an idle speed or if it is operating in an over-run fuel-cut-off mode. A diagnostic test can be performed on the temperature sensors S1, S2 before testing of the thermostat starts.
