Advanced direct injection combustion engine technologies and development Volume 1:
Gasoline and gas engines
(ISBN 978-1-84569-389-3)
Direct injection enables precise control of the fuel/air mixture so that engines can be tuned
for improved power and fuel economy, but ongoing research challenges remain in improving
the technology for commercial applications. As fuel prices escalate, DI engines are expected
to gain in popularity for automotive applications. This important book, in two volumes,
reviews the science and technology of different types of DI combustion engines and their
fuels. Volume 1 deals with direct injection gasoline and CNG engines, including history
and essential principles, approaches to improved fuel economy, design, optimisation, optical
techniques and their application.
Advanced direct injection combustion engine technologies and development Volume 2:
Diesel engines
(ISBN 978-1-84569-744-0)
Volume 2 of the two-volume set Advanced direct injection combustion engine technologies
and development investigates diesel DI combustion engines which, despite their commercial
success, are facing ever more stringent emission legislation worldwide. Direct injection
diesel engines are generally more efcient and cleaner than indirect injection engines and,
as fuel prices continue to rise, DI engines are expected to gain in popularity for automotive
applications. Two exclusive sections examine light-duty and heavy-duty diesel engines. Fuel
injection systems and after treatment systems for DI diesel engines are discussed. The nal
section addresses exhaust emission control strategies, including combustion diagnostics and
modelling, drawing on reputable diesel combustion system research and development.
Tribology and dynamics of engine and powertrain: Fundamentals, applications and future
trends
(ISBN 978-1-84569-361-9)
Tribology is one element of many interacting within a vehicle engine and powertrain. In adopting
a detailed, theoretical, component approach to solving tribological problems, the minutiae
can be overwhelmingly complex and practical solutions become elusive and uneconomic.
The system perspective generally adopted in industry, however, can lead to shortcuts and
oversimplications, industrial projects are subject to ad hoc trial and error, and subsequent
‘re-ghting’ activity is required. This book seeks to bridge this divide, using a multi-physics
approach to provide sufcient fundamental grounding and understanding of both detailed and
approximate analyses – thereby making ‘rst time right’ design solutions possible. Tribological
issues and solutions in piston systems, valve train systems, engine bearings and drivetrain
systems are addressed. New developments in materials, micro-engineering, nano-technology
and MEMS are also included.
