This is because the ethanol component may affect the conversion efficiency of the gasoline component in a blend, that is, make an engine more or less efficient in its use of the gasoline component. converted all vehicle efficiency measurements into vehicle energy efficiency (VEE, km/MJ) based on fuel energy densities reported in each study.

As part of a consortium over the last several years, the authors worked with industrial partners in developing 2/4-stroke switchable engine technologies through engine downsizing, from which the current research on 2-stroke CAI via poppet valve operation have been initiated and performed. bar IMEP on the 2-stroke mode.

At 2000 rpm and up to approximately 2.7 The automotive industry, including Lotus Engineering, has quite rightly advocated engine downsizing for four-stroke engines. The two-stroke cycle, conversely, does not suffer from significant throttling losses and in many ways is a more natural fit for automotive use.

Ford’s turbocharged, gasoline direct injection EcoBoost engines are targeted to play a significant near-term role in Ford’s efforts to reduce fuel consumption by enabling downsizing. The cold-start period constitutes the majority of engine emissions due to zero or low conversion efficiency of the aftertreatment system. Earlier post.).
