This MRI grant will be used to create a state-of-the-art experimental facility for dynamic measurement, modeling, diagnosis and control of transient automotive emissions. Catalytic exhaust after-treatment systems play a key role in reducing automotive emissions, but to meet increasingly stringent legislated environmental targets, (as specified in SULEV or OBD II for example), it is now necessary to incorporate their dynamic behavior within the on-board engine control and diagnostic system. To measure and model these dynamics experimentally requires the state-of-the-art, dual-channel, fast-response gas analysis equipment. The MRI grant will also be used to acquire a hardware/software system for data acquisition, and for rapid prototyping access to the engine management and diagnostic system, in order to be able to implement and test the algorithms developed. It is believed that there are currently only four facilities worldwide (within academia) that have fast response gas analysis capability, one of which was constructed at the University of Sussex (UK), by the principal investigator. The interdisciplinarity inherent in a system which has an engine, electronic control, and the catalytic after-treatment elements is reflected in the cross-departmental team of investigators who come from the Mechanical, Chemical, and Electrical & Computer Engineering departments within the College of Engineering at Villanova University. For each of these departments, the facility would strongly enhance the Undergraduate and Masters student exposure to the automotive industry in a geographic area, which is weak in this regard. The facility will be a regional resource, and is supported by Drexel and Temple Universities as well as local industry. Industrial support and cost share comes from a broad cross-section of the automotive industry including end user Ford Motor Company, international automotive consultants Ricardo Inc., locally based consultants, Environex, and local catalyst manufacturer Johnson Matthey.

这笔 MRI 拨款将用于创建最先进的实验设施，用于瞬态汽车排放的动态测量、建模、诊断和控制。催化废气后处理系统在减少汽车排放方面发挥着关键作用，但为了满足日益严格的立法环境目标（例如 SULEV 或 OBD II 中的规定），现在有必要将其动态行为纳入车载发动机控制和诊断系统中。为了通过实验测量和模拟这些动态，需要最先进的双通道快速响应气体分析设备。 MRI 拨款还将用于购买用于数据采集的硬件/软件系统，以及对发动机管理和诊断系统的快速原型访问，以便能够实施和测试所开发的算法。据信，目前全球（学术界）只有四家设施具有快速响应气体分析能力，其中一所是由首席研究员在英国苏塞克斯大学建造的。 具有发动机、电子控制和催化后处理元件的系统固有的跨学科性反映在来自维拉诺瓦大学工程学院机械、化学、电气与计算机工程系的跨部门研究人员团队中。对于这些院系中的每一个部门来说，该设施都将极大地提高本科生和硕士生对汽车行业的了解，而该地区在这方面是薄弱的。该设施将成为区域资源，并得到德雷克塞尔大学和天普大学以及当地工业界的支持。工业支持和成本分摊来自汽车行业的各个领域，包括最终用户福特汽车公司、国际汽车顾问里卡多公司、当地顾问 Environex 和当地催化剂制造商庄信万丰。
