  In this work, we conduct a sensitivity analysis of the mean-value internal
combustion engine exergy-based model, recently developed by the authors, with
respect to different driving cycles, ambient temperatures, and exhaust gas
recirculation rates. Such an analysis allows to assess how driving conditions
and environment affect the exergetic behavior of the engine, providing insights
on the system's inefficiency. Specifically, the work is carried out for a
military series hybrid electric vehicle.
