Adaptive control of the marine diesel engine’s work while consuming water fuel emulsions

Influence of the emulsified fuel (water fuel emulsion) onto diesel engine's working process pro-vides with a ground for investigations in the field of engine's work process control. The conducted analysis of possible concepts of control allows considering the most acceptable adaptive control concept as the most difficult by the level of generating controlling actions but also as the most per-fect by efficiency of the control. The recommended method of solution of the challenge for searching for an adaptive control has quite effectively been realized in the form of logic, and by creation of a flowchart carrying out the given solution search method. The composite of the main control functions in engines has allowed bringing in a chart of arranging these control functions within the electronic control system. The obtained results allow estimating advantages and disadvantages of the control system resting on the adaptivity concept, as well as to form a general chart of the adaptive control based on this concept.
