Thus, the apparatus moves up and down to measure the outer diameters of the fuel rods, so that it can accurately check abnormalities in the outer diameters of the fuel rods.

Abstract: An engine torque compensation method is based on a change in the concentration of ethanol for a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV). In the method, a concentration of ethanol in fuel that is supplied to an engine is acquired. A driver-required torque based on an opening rate of a throttle valve depending on manipulation of an accelerator by a driver is calculated. A torque correction factor depending on the opening rate of the throttle valve and the concentration of the ethanol is calculated. A final driver-required torque is obtained by multiplying the torque correction factor by the driver-required torque.
