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) …

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 …

Ideal models provide the simplest way to reproduce internal combustion engine (ICE)
cycles, but they usually do not represent with sufficient accuracy the actual behaviour of an …

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 …

The rapid growth in automotive industry and increased fuel consumption and environmental
pollution, along with decrease in oil and fossil fuel resources, necessitate the adoption of …

The rapidly growing energy demand across the globe and emission problem can be
compensated by biodiesel blends. These promising renewable fuels can be developed from …

Emissions, especially NO x, released from diesel engines must be decreased to limit values
described by the regulations because emissions have many bad effects on the environment …

In this paper, a performance analysis based on the power output, thermal efficiency,
maximum power output (MP) and maximum thermal efficiency (MEF) criteria have been …

A comprehensive performance analysis depending on the non-dimensional power output,
effective power, non-dimensional power density, effective power density, thermal efficiency …

It has been well known that the engine downsizing combined with intake boosting is an
effective way to improve the fuel conversion efficiency without penalizing the engine torque …
