Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is the selection and arrangement of turbochargers set for internal combustion engine which could keep engine power in an altitude of up to 12.2 km above sea level.

Design/methodology/approach

In the current research, the target engine, a one-dimensional four-stroke 1,600 cc piston engine has been simulated and the manufacturer’ results have been validated. Depending on engine size, three proper types of Garret turbochargers GT30, GT25 and GT20 were selected for this engine. Then, the engine and a combination of two turbochargers have been modeled one-dimensionally. A control system was used for regulation of different pressure ratios between the two turbochargers.

Findings

The parametric analysis shows that using the combination of GT20, GT30 turbochargers with a properly controlled pressure ratio leads to a constant output power with little changes at different altitudes which enable achieving an altitude of 12.2 km for the target engine.

Practical implications

Adaptation of the internal combustion engine with a twin turbocharger using one-dimensional modeling.

Originality/value

The one-dimensional analysis provided an overall picture of the effective performance of turbochargers functioning in different altitudes and loads. It presents a new method for adopting of turbochargers set with internal combustion engines for propulsion medium-altitude aircraft.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to assess and decompose the sustainable development using the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) in Iran in 2018, for proposing agenda-setting of public policy.

Design/methodology/approach

It ranks the SDGs not only in Iran but also in the region and the world to reveal the synergetic effects.

Findings

Based on the results, subaltern-populace generally suffers from the hegemonic domination of ruling elite-bourgeois, lack of strong institutions, heterogeneous policy networks and lack of advocacy role of non-governmental organizations, due to no transparency, issues in law or no rule of law, no stringent regulation, rent, suppression and Mafia, all leading to corruption and injustice.

Practical implications

To stop the loop of corruption-injustice, Iran should homogenize the structure of the policy network. Furthermore, the failed SDGs of the three-geographic analysis are the same in a character; all of them propose SDG 3, good health and well-being as a serious failed goal.

Social implications

In this regard, strong evidence is the pandemic Coronavirus, COVID 19 since 2019, due to its highly-disastrous consequences in early 2020 where the public policymakers could not adopt policies promptly in the glob, particularly in Iran.

Originality/value

In Iran, in addition to this, the malfunction of health is rooted in “subjective well-being” and “traffic deaths,” respectively. Concerning the transportations system in Iran, it is underscored that it is damaging the sustainable development from all the three pillars of sustainable development including, economic, social and environmental.
