The treatise prescribe formulae for automobile engine efficiency in the context of design, emissions, and overall Engine Design & Performance (Précis) ·Internal Combustion Engine – Operational Components ·Four-Stroke Cycle ·Engine A Quantitative Analysis ·Electronic  Engine Control Systems ·Hybrid Electric and Natural Gas Vehicles ·Optimized Engine Design & Performance (Lecture) A) ENGINE/POWERPLANT AND DRIVETRAIN OPTIMIZATION AND VEHICLE EFFICIENCY FOR TRUCKS B) EMISSION REDUCTION OPTIONS C) E85 OPTIMIZED ENGINE D) FUEL INJECTION SCHEMES E)  DEVELOPMENT OF TWINSCROLL TURBINE FOR AUTOMOTIVE TURBOCHARGERS USING NUMERICAL SIMULATION F) THE NEXT GENERATION OF GASOLINE TURBO TECHNOLOGY G) VARIABLE VALVE ACTUATION H) ENGINE FRICTION ADVANCES BY MERCEDEZ-BENZ I) ALTERNATIVE COMBUSTION CYCLES J) EFFECTS OF DPF AND SCR ON ENGINE EFFICIENCY K) IDENTIFYING  TYPES OF LUBRICATING SYSTEMS L) ADVANCE COMBUSTION AND EMISSIONS CONTROL TECHNICAL TEAM ROADMAP Appendix We begin by outlining the basic principle of engine operation through thermodynamics, which Carnot Cycle, Gas Power Cycles, Otto cycle, Diesel cycle, vapor power cycles, etc. Also discussed are the important sensors used by the automobile and a detailed examination of the lubrication system is presented. Also discussed is turbine efficiency and the DualBoost concept; variable valve timing, NANOSLIDE technology, Split-cycle engines, Five-stroke engines, Advanced Powertrain Technologies The internal-combustion engine will to continue to play a major role in the future of personal mobility, and will have to contribute to the protection of the world’s climate and the conservation of our limited reserves of fossil fuel. That is the conclusion to be drawn from the studies conducted both by our own market researchers and by external specialists into the development of the global automotive market. Forecasts tell us that by 2020 annual demand for cars and light trucks will reach 103 million units. Of these, only 3 million will be either all-electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids. A further 6 million will be hybrid vehicles with an electric drive in addition to their internal-combustion engine. In other words, a good 100 million new vehicles powered by internal-combustion engines will be sold in 2020. Forecasts also show that 30 million more new cars with internal-combustion engines will be sold in 2020 than the 71 million that were sold last year. In other words, the market for vehicles with internal-combustion engines will grow by a good 40 percent over the next ten years. CO2-targets only achievable via optimized combustion engines How then, in spite of this, can we hope to achieve society’s goals of protecting the environment and conserving fossil-fuel reserves? The answer is easy to work all-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids help reduce CO2 emissions by roughly 4 grams per kilometer. So the role of the 97 percent of new vehicles with internal-combustion engines will have to be decisive. [Treatise]
