3. Conclusion

In addition to the heat flows and temperatures obtained during transient evolutions, it has been shown that the notion of fuel consumption is associated with the engine's thermal evolution through a dialogue between thermal architecture and combustion-related thermodynamics (figure 17 ).

This application of the system analysis approach is very rich, since it enables us to quantify the reaction of architectural dimensional parameters and cooling circuit control on the entire powertrain (GMP).

The originality of the tool used here lies mainly in the fact that it formally describes the physics of the system, and is one of the few to...
