On the basis of introducing the origin and development of finite time thermodynamics (FTT),
this paper reviews the progress in FTT optimization for internal combustion engine (ICE) …

Vehicle electrification has to be addressed to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and meet
future emission regulations. Pure electric vehicles still have many limitations, but hybrid …

The third decade of the 21st century is set to be one of the most relevant in terms of the
transition of methods and forms of using different energy sources, with short and medium …

A combination of downsizing, highly boosting and direct injection (DI) is an effective way to
improve fuel economy of gasoline engines without the penalties of reduced torque or power …

Coal is the primary source of energy for most of the countries in the world. Although the main
use of coal is in the generation of electricity, recently synthesis of liquid fuel from coal is …

In this paper, a computational study was performed using a combination of several
numerical tools to better understand the limiting aspects of combustion in a passive pre …

Pollutant exhaust emissions, particularly NOx, produced by diesel engines must be reduced
to limit values defined by the environmental regulations as the emissions have many harmful …

This study reports the effects of engine load and biodiesel percentage on the performance of
a diesel engine fueled with diesel–biodiesel blends by experiments and a new theoretical …

In order to explore the technical route to meet the Tier III emission regulations, the
experimental study of the influence of Miller cycle combined with EGR on the performance …

Cyclic variations in diesel engines are undesirable since they are understood to lead to
lower efficiency and higher emissions, as well as power output limitations. This work aims to …
