Combustion Engines And Hybrid Vehicles - Imeche Conference

Twenty-one papers discuss recent engineering advances and investigations. Articles include treatments of such topics as: increasing diesel share to reduce CO 2; the potential of the Pivotal engine design to meet future requirements; description and performance data of the Meritt cycle gasoline engine; the design, manufacture, and demonstration of a common rail fuel injection system for 100cc engines; interpreting diesel combustion with a fuel spray computer model; laser light sheet illumination of the development of cavitation in orifices for diesel injection; simulation and control of an IC engine/generator auxiliary power unit for use in a series hybrid vehicle; development and application of map-controlled drive management for a BMW parallel hybrid vehicle; combustion analysis of coconut oil and its methyl esters in a diesel engine; and automotive turbogenerator design options.
