Abstract: The exhaust energy can represent up to 40% of the fuel chemical energy in turbocharged internal combustion engines. In order to calculate properly the available energy of the exhaust gases, a critical parameter is the temperature downstream the turbine. The prediction of this temperature will also benefit the two-stage turbochargers and after-treatment modelling that affects brake specific fuel consumption, exhaust gases emissions and the scavenging process.
