Automotive Gasoline Direct-Injection Engines Book

Zhao, an engineering specialist in the private sector, covers the latest global technical initiatives in the area of gasoline direct injection (GDI) spark-ignited gasoline engines, and examines the contribution of each process and sub-system to the efficiency of the overall system. Focus is on both the fundamental processes of mixture preparation, combustion, and emissions formation, and the practical issues related to engine system development, such as cold start, deposits, oil dilution, and aftertreatment systems. Information on direct fuel injection, spray formation, entrainment, and mixing is presented within a framework of current hardware and processes. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
