- Explain staged and continuously variable value timing systems.

The explanation of staged and continuously variable valve timing systems.
Explanation of Solution
Staged variable valve timing:
Staged valve timing consists of a central camshaft, where the lobes push against the wall to open when the camshaft is rotated. Crankshaft provides input to drive cam. Both the valves can be opened when there is a single cam. In the case of two cams, one can be used for intake and the second cam is for exhaust.
Valve timing ideal value point changes with a change in rpm. It is related to engine performance and fuel efficiency.
It involves three cams with different timing and lifts profile.
Stage one- low speed.
Stage two- medium speed.
Stage three- high speed.
Example − Honda VTEC system.
Continuously variable valve timing:
Continuously variable valve timing camshaft is fitted with a phaser. It is mounted in place of timing pulley, sprocket, or gear. The principle of phaser is based on a helical gear set or vanes enclosed in a housing. When the engine is running, it helps in changing time from cam-shaft to crankshaft.
It can be electronically or hydraulic controlled.
Example − Toyota’s VVT-i system.

I am trying to solve this question. Based on the Mars powered landing scenariosolve Eq. (14) via convex programming. Report the consumed fuel, and discuss the results with relevant plots. I am using the following MATLAB code and getting an error. I tried to fix the error and I get another one saying something about log and exp not being convex. Can you help fix my code and make sure it works. The error is CVX Warning: Models involving "log" or other functions in the log, exp, and entropy family are solved using an experimental successive approximation method. This method is slower and less reliable than the method CVX employs for other models. Please see the section of the user's guide entitled The successive approximation method for more details about the approach, and for instructions on how to suppress this warning message in the future.Error using .* (line 173)Disciplined convex programming error: Cannot perform the operation:…arrow_forward
