The Enhancement and Validation of a Vehicle Engine Cooling System Simulation for a Heavy Duty Diesel Truck

The Vehicle Engine Cooling System Simulation (VECSS) developed at Michigan Technological University in 1982 was enhanced to the extent that it can be used as a cooling system design tool for a heavy duty diesel truck. The enhancements are described in the present paper, while the use of the VECSS as a cooling system design tool is presented in the companion paper, «The Use of the Vehicle Engine Cooling System Simulation as a Cooling System Design Tool»
