This book focuses on gasoline compression ignition (GCI) which
offers the prospect of engines with high efficiency and low exhaust
emissions at a lower cost. A GCI engine is a compression ignition
(CI) engine which is run on gasoline-like fuels (even on low-octane
gasoline), making it significantly easier to control particulates
and NOx but with high efficiency. The state of the art development
to make GCI combustion feasible on practical vehicles is
highlighted, e.g., on overcoming problems on cold start,
high-pressure rise rates at high loads, transients, and HC and CO
emissions. This book will be a useful guide to those in academia
and industry.
This book focuses on clean transport and mobility essential to the
modern world. It discusses internal combustion engines (ICEs) and
alternatives like battery electric vehicles (BEVs) which are
growing fast. Alternatives to ICEs start from a very low base and
face formidable environmental, material availability, and economic
challenges to unlimited and rapid growth. Hence ICEs will continue
to be the main power source for transport for decades to come and
have to be continuously improved to improve transport
sustainability. The book highlights the need to assess proposed
changes in the existing transport system on a life cycle basis. The
volume includes chapters discussing the challenges faced by ICEs as
well as chapters on novel fuels and fuel/ engine interactions which
help in this quest to improve the efficiency of ICE and reduce
exhaust pollutants. This book will be of interest to those in
academia and industry alike.

Conventional fossil fuels will constitute the majority of
automotive fuels for the foreseeable future but will have to adapt
to changes in engine technology. Unconventional transport fuels
such as biofuels, gas-to-liquid fuels, compressed natural gas, and
liquid petroleum gas will also play a role. Hydrogen might be a
viable transport fuel if it overcomes barriers in production,
transport, storage, and safety and/or if fuel cells become viable.
This book opens by considering these issues and then introduces
practical transport fuels. A chapter on engine deposits follows,
which is an important practical topic about how fuels affect
engines that is not usually considered in other books. The next
three chapters discuss auto-ignition phenomena in engines. The
auto-ignition resistance of fuels is the most important fuel
property since it limits the efficiency of spark ignition engines
and determines the performance of compression ignition engines.
Moreover, the manufacture of fuels is primarily driven by the need
to meet auto-ignition quality demands set by fuel specifications.
The final chapter considers the implications for future fuels. The
book covers the many important ways that fuels and engines interact
and why and how fuels will need to change to meet the requirements
of future engines, as well as the implications for fuels
manufacture and specifications.
