Vehicle coolant is one of the most important operating fluids. Along with changes in the design of engines, the composition of the coolant has also changed. The main function of the coolant is heat transfer (HT). It absorbs up to one-third of the heat energy generated by the engine. The coolant is also responsible for protecting the cooling system from damage caused by corrosion, scaling and deposits. The unfavorable working environment of the engine is also affected by smaller capacities of the cooling systems (CSs) of the drive units, extreme temperatures and increased pressure in the CS, enhancing the importance of the fluid composition. The coolant must be replaced every three years or 100,000 kilometers or every five years or 250,000 kilometers with the Organic Acid Technology (OAT). It is worth remembering that coolant of unknown composition or low quality used for a long time can expose the system to engine overheating, corrosion, deposits and restriction of liquid flow. This can lead to engine failure, in extreme cases even engine seizure. Currently, many types of fluids, including nanocoolants with different compositions, are available on the cooling market. The article presents these fluids, describe the most common failures of CSs, present the currently used methods of fluid replacement in the engine and proposes an innovative method based on the pressure method, which allows both replacing the fluid in the entire system and cleaning it.

Detailed analysis of literature showed that there is no method that can be used in order to investigate skid marks left by vehicles equipped with ABS. Authors decided to identify braking trace by using IR spectroscopy. Preliminary studies have been performed and results were promising. Due to that fact authors decided to conduct detailed research where the influence of various factors on the possibility of revealing breaking traces would be taken into account. This article is the first in a series of articles taking into account the influence of various factors on the possibility of revealing breaking marks using IR spectroscopy. In this article the influence of the type of asphalt was studied. Authors conducted tests with the most popular types of asphalts used for the wearing course. 100 samples from 5 different types of asphalt were prepared. Each sample was measured 3 times to create its spectrum. The results were analyzed thoroughly using the dedicated SpectraGryph software. The analysis showed that for 4 out of 5 types of tested asphalt, the braking traces were visible at a wavelength of approximately 11 500 nm. Only for the rubberized asphalt there weren’t possibility to reveal skid mark.

Following paper introduces the nonlinear method of determining the velocity of a vehicle before the impact-the Equivalent Energy Speed (EES). To estimate the magnitude of EES, the method utilizes the deformation work Wdef of the vehicle, defined by the quotient of deformation coefficient Cs and plastic deformation. Combined with the introduction of the B-spline tensor products and least square approximation with probabilistic weights, method shows promising results.

This paper presents calculations of the theoretical cycle of engines with an active combustion chamber depending on energy delivery and dissipation. In the case of ACC engines, a different calculation approach is required to account for the possibility of additional volume change, independent of the piston-crank system. The introduction presents a schematic diagram of volume change, accomplished by two independent piston-crank systems and an active combustion chamber, as proposed by the authors. Moreover, the diagram, which is the basis for analysis in this paper, illustrates characteristic points of the cycle. In existing theoretical cycles of combustion, this issue does not present any difficulties, since the solution is exact and based on known equations. In the case of theoretical ACC engines, however, the situation is different, since this engine can perform not only in typical cycles, but also in new ones. To explain the challenges of these new cycles, authors present a few of the most probable calculation variants, taking into account the new kinematic capabilities of ACC engines. Each comment justifying the choice of a certain calculation variant is illustrated with a theoretical cycle figure and closest approximation of induced pressure course of the ACC engine. At the same time, however, the authors show that this problem can have many interpretations. It has been concluded that the solution depends on the assumptions made about the active combustion chamber, namely its principle of operation.

Abstract In this article Authors present the continuation of the calculations for theoretical ACC engine cycle, considering additionally “VCR function” – changeable compression level. For this purpose the self-acting volume change, realized by ACC system, was used. The ACC system was adjusted appropriately to control the compression level. The analysis is based on three cases, representing delayed, premature and optimal reaction of ACC system. Reactions are presented in form of plots with indicated pressure in the combustion chamber. As the result of the conducted analysis and interpretation of obtained graphs, the calculation approach of compression ratio for ACC presented in previous article is being challenged. For the optimal reaction of ACC system, the theoretical operation schematics are devised and presented in the key points of the work. Based on the schematics, the values of theoretical efficiency were calculated for different cycles of theoretical ACC engine, in which regulation of compression ratio takes place. Moreover, the presented analysis includes graphs with optimal courses of indicated pressure for significantly different work parameters of ACC engine, showing its regulation possibilities. Also the time scaled graphs (with millisecond as basic time unit) are presented to show the possibilities of dynamic ACC systems, which are comparable with the combustion time (from 3 to 0,5 ms). In this paper the general discussion is started about the compression ratio in more complex kinematic systems including ACC.
