—Willcox and Cleeves (2013). First, lower temperature, meaning less heat loss, more efficient combustions, better fuel economy.and, fortuitously, lower NO x. Four engine control modes were evaluated with the goal of reducing NO x and minimizing fuel economy impact. Fuel economy impact is.

A study by a team from Ford Motor Company and AVL has concluded that a mid-level ethanol blend—greater than E20 but less than E40—appears to be attractive as a long-term future fuel for the US for use in engines optimized for the higher octane blend. Volumetric fuel economy. Reduced enrichment. —Stein et al.

To increase efficiency, microturbines can recover a portion of the exhaust heat in a heat exchanger (recuperator) to increase the energy of the gases entering the expansion turbine—thereby boosting efficiency. In other words, fuel economy is a significant problem. Shah, R.M.A.; McGordon, A.; Amor-Segan, M.; Jennings, P.,
