This paper deals with the development of a prototype of Hybrid Solar Vehicle (HSV) with series structure. This activity has been also conducted in the framework of the European Union funded Leonardo project “Energy Conversion Systems and Their Environmental Impact”, a project with research and educational objectives. A study on supervisory control for hybrid solar vehicles and some preliminary tests performed on the road are presented. Previous results obtained by a model for HSV optimal design have confirmed the relevant benefits of such vehicles with respect to conventional cars in case of intermittent use in urban driving (city-car), and that economical feasibility could be achieved in a near future. Due to the series-powertrain adopted for the HSV prototype, an intermittent use of the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) powering the electric generator is possible, thus avoiding part-load low-efficient engine operations. The best ICE power trajectory is determined via genetic algorithm optimization accounting for fuel mileage as well as battery state of charge, also considering solar contribution during parking mode. The experimental set up used for data logging, real-time monitoring and control of the prototype is also presented, and the results obtained with different road tests discussed.

The optimization of the supervisory control of hybrid electric vehicles over predetermined driving cycles has been used as a previous study for determining on-line strategies and also for design and sizing purposes. This problem may be posed as an optimal control problem, in which the energy in the bank of batteries is often the state variable, and the power from any of the system sources is, the control action. As both of these quantities are bounded, the optimal control problem has control constraints or state constraints or both. Usually, the charge-sustaining mode of operation is ensured just by imposing a transversality condition, i.e. a fixed final energy, or including an additional term in the cost functional that penalizes the moving away of the state variable from the nominal value. We considered the problem where the state is allowed to move freely within a band. This led to an optimal control problem with control and state constraints. In this work we describe the difficulties that arise while solving the equations given by the Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle and how these difficulties can be overcome by using the so-called Direct Transcription approach that consists of a programming tool to solve the resultant large-scale finite dimensional optimization problem.

In order to gain a better understanding of the morphology and promoter edge content of the active phase of industrial HDT NiMoP catalysts in working conditions, a multi-technique study has been undertaken on a series of NiMoP catalysts with various Ni/Mo ratios. The combination of X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Transition Electron Microscopy (TEM), Density Functional Theory (DFT) modeling and catalytic testing (toluene hydrogenation) provided data to build a morphological model of NiMoS nanocrystallites. A parallel has been established with their CoMoS counterparts obtained in our previous work in order to emphasize differences arising from the promoter atom. This study confirms the importance of the presence of mixed Ni-Mo sites on the edges of the NiMoS nanocrystallites, and especially on the M-edge for reactions involving hydrogenation. These results provide new guidelines for future and ever more active catalysts.

The Bronsted acidity level was evaluated for ionic liquids to which a strong acid has been added. As a first approach, the evaluation method was based on the determination of the Hammett acidity functions H0 , using UV-Visible spectroscopy. The acidity of protons is mainly determined by their solvation state and consequently, the properties of protons depend on both the nature of the solvent and the nature and concentration of the acid. An apparent acidity scale was defined following this principle. It was found that, for the investigated ionic liquids, the cation does not play a dominant role on the acidity level ([BMIm] ~ [BHIm] ~ [ HNEt3 ] ), whereas changing the nature of the anion of the ionic liquid may lead to very different acidities ([ SbF6 ] > [ PF6 ] > [ BF4 ] > [ NTf2 ] > [OTf]). This “acidity scale” was tentatively compared with an “activity scale” obtained for the dimerization of isobutene into isooctenes. The tendencies concerning the cation effect were confirmed ([BMIm] ~ [BuMePyrr] ~ [ HNEt3 ] ). The anion effect in only partially validated with a different behaviour for NTf2 type ionic liquids ([ NTf2 ] ~ [ SbF6 ] > [ PF6 ] ~ [ BF4 ] > [OTf]). By an adequate choice of the ionic liquid, selectivity for isobutene dimers can reach 88 wt% (at 70% isobutene conversion) with possible recycling of the catalytic system without loss of activity and selectivity.

The selection of an optimal cementitious material is critical to maintain zonal isolation for the lifetime of oil & gas or gas storage wells not only for primary cementing but also after well abandonment. Polymer powder/cement composites present good mechanical and durability properties since polymer latex promotes improved adhesion and flexibility to the hardened cement paste. So, for well constructions in aggressive environment, polymer powder/cement composites would be good candidates. During the well construction, the cement slurry placement strongly depends on its rheological behaviour. In this paper, we studied rheological properties of polymer powder/cement composite suspensions: they present a transition from a gel to a liquid behaviour in oscillatory shear. The replacement of cement particles by polymer particles induces a decrease of the storage modulus in the gel state. The good quality of the polymer particle dispersion and their high affinity for cement particles were observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Solid state NMR (29 Si and 27 Al) and calorimetry allowed to highlight the influence of the polymer addition on both the hydration and hardening of the cement matrix. All these results helped us to understand the relations between the slurry composition, its rheological behaviour and the properties of the hardened materials which allowed us to design new cementing materials.

Enhancement of Aqueous Emulsion and Foam Stability with Oppositely Charged Surfactant/Polyelectrolyte Mixed Systems — We have studied emulsifying and foaming properties of oppositely charged surfactant/polyelectrolyte mixed systems. We have shown that adding a small amount of oppositely charged polyelectrolyte to a ionic surfactant enhances the stability of emulsion and foams at very low surfactant concentration, typically below the CMC, in a range of concentration where the surfactant alone is usually not efficient for stabilizing macroscopic dispersed systems. This effect is explained by the co-adsorption of polymer and surfactant molecules at the fluid/fluid interface and formation of a highly surface active surfactant-polymer complex. Complexation and therefore emulsion and foam stability can be tuned by adjusting electrostatic attraction between the two charged species. Use of amphoteric polyampholyte can be used as pH switchable system for controling emulsion or foam stability.

A dense array of high-resolution seismic profiles of the underwater Rhone River deltain the Mediterranean Sea is used as the only input for developing a stochastic model of an analogue of anoil reservoir in a prograding shelf environment. The topographic elevations of the unit boundaries arefirst estimated from the seismic profile sections. The geometry of the envelopes of the seven identifiedstratigraphic units is then estimated by non-stationary geostatistics, after the inference of theirgeneralized covariance by the method of increments. A complete “3D architectural model” is thenproduced by filling the envelopes of the previously estimated sedimentary units with internal faciesdistributions. These facies are first defined by their seismic signature, based on their reflectionconfiguration, continuity and amplitude. The HERESIM geostatistical software is used in a nonstationarymode to analyse and simulate the vertical and the horizontal facies variability. The verticalvariability is quantified for each unit by a vertical proportion curve. The horizontal variability isanalysed by the horizontal facies variograms which measure the autocorrelation of a given facies as afunction of the distance. The remaining model parameters are adjusted to give an optimum match of themodel to the observed seismic data. The model results are used to interpret the deposition, erosion andtectonic mechanisms that have shaped this shelf environment.

Soaring oil prices combined with increased environmental awareness maintain the drive for fuel-efficient and CO2 -friendly powertrains. Even if hybrids seem to be the media friendly solution, there is still much work to be done on combustion systems. For gasoline engines aggressive downsizing seems promising and IFP proposes an innovative approach. However, new difficulties arise as specific power outputs are increased. Various combustion phenomena are encountered from simple knock to rumble and must be understood and mastered in order to fully optimize the combustion system. Abnormally rapid yet non destructive and seemingly stable combustion is one of these new phenomena. 3D CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation tools were used in order to investigate and under- stand what lies behind this particular combustion.

IFP-C3D, a hexahedral unstructured parallel solver dedicated to multiphysics calculation, is being developed at IFP to compute the compressible combustion in internal engines. IFP-C3D uses an unstructured formalism, the finite volume method on staggered grids, time splitting, SIMPLE loop, sub-cycled advection, turbulent and Lagrangian spray and a liquid film model. Original algorithms and models such as the conditional temporal interpolation methodology for moving grids, the remapping algorithm for transferring quantities on different meshes during the computation enable IFP-C3D to deal with complex moving geometries with large volume deformation induced by all moving geometrical parts (intake/exhaust valve, piston). The Van Leer and Superbee slop limiters are used for advective fluxes and the wall law for the heat transfer model. Physical models developed at IFP for combustion (ECFM gasoline combustion model and ECFM3Z for Diesel combustion model), for ignition (TKI for auto-ignition and AKTIM for spark plug ignition) and for spray modelling enable the simulation of a large variety of innovative engine configurations from non-conventional Diesel engines using for instance HCCI combustion mode, to direct injection hydrogen internal combustion engines. Large super-scalar machines up to 1 000 processors are being widely used and IFP-C3D has been optimized for running on these Cluster machines. IFP-C3D is parallelized using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) library to distribute calculation over a large number of processors. Moreover, IFP-C3D uses an optimized linear algebraic library to solve linear matrix systems and the METIS partitionner library to distribute the computational load equally for all meshes used during the calculation and in particular during the remap stage when new meshes are loaded. Numerical results and timing are presented to demonstrate the computational efficiency of the code.
