The interest towards fuel consumption reduction in reciprocating internal combustion engines has achieved a key role starting from the first energy crisis during 70’s. Even if alternate phases, such had further increased following years assuming fundamental last years. reason lies introduction of regulations that limit emissions carbon dioxide, as it belongs to family greenhouse gasses. A frict...

Mobility in the modern world relies on heterogeneous catalysis [...]

In order to examine the current market situation of combustion and battery electric engines in vehicles determine type strategy for development automotive market, a SWOT analysis was carried out. Internal strengths weaknesses as well external opportunities threats on internal were assessed. The most important areas their operation have been designated. A weighting system rating scale selected. ...

The Internal Combustion (IC) Engine is perhaps the most wide-spread apparatus for transforming liquid and gaseous fuel to useful mechanical work. Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is a new combustion technology that may develop as an alternative to diesel engines with high efficiency and low NOx and particulate matter emissions. The homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is ...

We analyse the combustion process in a spark ignition engine using the experimental data of an internal pressure during the combustion process and show that the system can be driven to chaotic behaviour. Our conclusion is based on the observation of unperiodicity in the time series, suitable stroboscopic maps and a complex structure of a reconstructed strange attractor. This analysis can explai...
