Abstract: A hybrid vehicle comprises an engine, an energy storage device, and an aftertreatment system comprising a SCR catalyst configured to treat constituents of an exhaust gas. A controller is operatively coupled to the engine, the energy storage device, and the after treatment system, and configured to estimate an exhaust gas temperature and flow rate of the exhaust gas based on a set of engine operating parameters. The controller determines an exhaust gas cooling rate based on the exhaust gas temperature, flow rate, and a SCR catalyst temperature, and an ambient cooling rate based on an ambient temperature, a vehicle speed and the catalyst temperature. The controller determines a SCR catalyst temperature change rate based on the exhaust gas and ambient cooling rates, and adjusts a load distribution between the engine and the energy storage device based on the SCR catalyst temperature change rate.

Abstract: A composite polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) preservative film, a preparation method and an application thereof are provided. The film includes PVA of 9-12 parts, modified silicon dioxide nanoparticles of 2-5 parts, antimicrobial of 0.3-2 parts and deionized water of 100 parts. Fruits and vegetables sensitive to sunlight have lower requirements for illumination while preserving. With PVA as matrix and silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles as modified materials, composite PVA is obtained by controlling a particle size of SiO2 and modifying its surface. The composite PVA preservative film takes advantages of different refractive indexes between PVA and SiO2 and controlling the particle size of SiO2, thereby having a low luminous transmittance. The preservative film has an effect of light-proof on fruits and vegetables suitable for light-proof storage, and improves its gas transmission and water resistance because of adding SiO2, thereby facilitating packaging preservation of the fruits and vegetables.
