Downsizing Engine MIT Presentations

Highly turbocharged alcohol-fueled direct-injection spark-ignition (DISI) engines operated at a high compression ratio could be as or more efficient than diesel engines while also providing advantages of lower vehicle cost, lower emissions and higher power, according to a recent modeling study by Leslie Bromberg and Daniel Cohn at MIT.

Additionally, suggested one of the speakers, advanced SIDI (spark-ignited, direct-injection) engines can take light-duty market share back from diesels in Europe based on the same trends. Bin 5 engine out is what we’ll need, and then to get it down to Bin 2. SULEV/Tier 2 Bin 2 is the target. smog and particulates. John Kirwan.

After the war, he joined American Electric Power in Columbus, Ohio, as an assistant engineer. He earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, now Virginia Tech, and received a master's degree in industrial management as a Sloan Fellow at MIT. White served in the U.S.

Proposed by John Heywood and colleagues at MIT in 2005, the basic premise of E85 boosting is that ethanol (or other lower alcohols) suppresses knock due to the large evaporative cooling effect it has on the air-fuel mixture when injected directly into the cylinder, supplemented by ethanol’s inherent high octane number.

A recent white paper by Leslie Bromberg of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center and Wai K. It is a high octane fuel with combustion characteristics that allow engines specifically designed for methanol fuel to match the best efficiencies of diesels while meeting current pollutant emission regulations. It is a safe fuel.
Charged EVs

Steven Kaye: ONE’s anode-free cell advantages include high energy density (thin lithium metal anode), low cost (no anode present during cell assembly, low-cost liquid electrolyte), and abundant raw materials (mostly manganese, zero cobalt). Engineers, scientists, essentially all levels. Can you tell us what led you to ONE?

This is from "Commercializing Plug-In Hybrids" (pdf), the current CalCars 24-slide presentation about PHEVs available along with other documents at CalCars Downloads. Agrees on environmental and economic benefits, though some presentations backtrack on that; says batteries need further development before commitment to mass-production.
