Novel Internal Combustion Engine Technologies for Performance Improvement and Emission Reduction/Новые технологии в двигателях внутреннего сгорания для повышения производительности и сокращения выбросов

Книга на английском языке.
This book covers different aspects of internal combustion (IC) engines including engine performance and emissions and presents various solutions to resolve the issues of IC engines. In this book, solution strategies have been divided into three categories, namely advanced combustion techniques, after-treatment techniques and alternative fuels. In each section, a detailed discussion about each strategy has been explained using a number of case studies. Few chapters based on review of technologies present the status of different combustion and emission control technologies and their suitability for different types of IC engines. A few novel technologies for Spark Ignition (SI) engines have been also included in this book, which makes this book a complete solution for both diesel as well as gasoline engines. This book summarizes different issues involved with automotive sectors and presents available solutions strategically to resolve these issues. Overall, this book will be useful for both engine researchers and energy experts. We hope that the book would be of great interest to the professionals and post-graduate students involved in fuels, IC engines, engine instrumentation and environmental research.
